First Salvia Experience - Journal
    #6589566 - 02/20/07 02:26 PM (17 years, 14 days ago)

In last December, I started having interest in growing my own mushrooms, which I did. I bought some equipment and started my experiments. The first one miserably failed. But as I was reading a huge quantity of information about psychedelics and more specifically entheogens, I came upon salvia divinorum, of which I had heard before but didn't show any interest, believing at this time that mushrooms were enough for me in my spiritual quest through psychedelics. What definitely catched me was learning that salvinorin didn't act at all on the serotonin. That meant to me that the salvia experience had nothing to do with emotions, but probably about something else. I had to discover what.

So, then, I gathered the most information I could on salvia divinorum. History, use, culture, consumption. I also watched a very interesting serie of videos on YouTube. I finally decided to buy an ounce of SD leaves at iamshaman.com which I just received in the mail an hour ago.

I am now at work as I write this journal. I am feeling just a bit stressed, like having a little knot in my solar plexus, like I have every time I am about to take psychedelics. Last evening, I smoked lots of MJ and did about an hour of very intense meditation with both eyes opened without clinging my eyelids a single time, having lots of visuals, as a preparation for a bigger trip. I will do maybe 20 minutes of relaxation before taking the salvia. I may be a bit stressed, but I am even more excited and curious about what I am going to experience.

I admit I have a large preference for the traditionnal method of chewing the leaves (the reason I bought leaves instead of extract in the first place) but it seems alot less intense when chewed. I will certainly try to smoke it in a bhang some time. Since me and my girlfriend will be at our first experience, I thought perhaps it would be more secure to go the traditional, possibly "easier" way.

I will now get back to work but I will be publishing my thoughts as time gets me closer to my first salvia divinorum experience. If you have anything to suggest, please, post it!

4 hours until the take-off, I am still at work listening to Terence McKenna audio tapes (Tree of Knowledge is a very good one).

I read a few positive salvia experiences from Erowid and from The Shroomery. It helped calm my worries about what I might experience and about my girlfriend's first attempt at psychedelics.

I am very anxious to enter the sally world. Have trouble concentrating on work, I'm simply too excited! I might have to do something to calm down before doing this. Perhaps I could meditate while chewing the leaves. That's a interesting idea.

I'll try to get back at my work now.

To be continued...

Whatever you do, do not underestimate the drug, and try your best not to have any expectations. I smoked salvia (20x extract) for the third time last night, and I got absolutely mangled. I can't even put human experience, much less words, to what happened to me. The first two times I did it, I did way too much in a poor environment and didn't have much of anything. The third time I did it indoors, with much less, and I was not expecting what happened at all. I started a topic that I'll finish later about my trip.

Just be careful, and try not to expect anything, but be prepared. No amount of marijuana will simulate the experience.

Don't get your hopes up with just plain leaves though.... I'm not saying you won't feel anything because you definately will notice a shift in perception and a slight boost to another vibrational level... but I myself have never experienced with plain leaves what I have experienced with the extracts. Good luck and keep an open mind, don't resist it :laugh:

We did our salvia experience yesterday. I am now back at work and ready to talk about it, though it was not a complete success.

We decided to chew on 4g of rehydrated leaves held under our tongues for 20 minutes. We I read about people saying it tasted awful I was like "oh come on!". It really has a disgusting taste. I thought I'd puke a few times. After 20 minutes, we spit the whole thing.

I felt slightly disoriented, just as if I had drink 4 shooters of tequila, but not anymore than that, except maybe a couple of mild visual distortions. My girlfriend said she saw someone standing behind her. It touched her shoulder and said to her that "everything will be allright". Then I started to speak to her. At this point, I started saying to her how certain of her behaviors annoyed me. She started to cry and so did I. We were very confused. And then we just sat in silence for about 10-20 minutes.

I decided to try to smoke the salvia then. I sat on the ground with my bhang and crushed 0.3g of dried leaves (I wanted to start with a low dose, after reading it was a judicious way of exploring the Salvia world). I needed two hits which I held the longest I could. My girlfriend was sitting on the couch, looking at me.

I suddenly felt like.. huh... a kind of porcupine. As if I had thousands of needles of energy coming out of my skin. Then I looked at the floor and said: "There is a floor!". And I started to laugh for about 10 minutes without being able to stop, just like a mushroom laughing trip. When I stopped laughing, I knew I hadn't broke trough, but at least I had my first contact with it. I felt disoriented for a few minutes again and I guess the trip was over. It was very brief.

I was still sitting on the floor when I told my girlfriend it was her turn if she wanted to. I crushed the same amount of leaves and put it in the bhang. She took 4 hits. At that point I didn't know what was happening to her but I was myself still disoriented. She later told me that she saw again the "person". It made her saw an infinity of "possible universes", and it told her she had the choice! Then she looked at me, smoking the small amount of smoke that was left in the bhang and she got scared, insecure. So she told me she came down very fast back in her body, but that the universe was unifinished. She found herself in an incomplete body, feeling like she was a doll who missed a leg and arm. She saw me as "incomplete" too. She felt like her back was on fire.

I then woke up to go to the bathroom. At that moment, the most intense part of her trip was over, but she felt disoriented, too. I could tell. And I felt the need to go to bed right after that. It was about 2:30AM.

We had lots of trouble getting to sleep, but that may be because we didn't smoke MJ at all that evening. As daily MJ consumers, insomnia is a frequent repercussion of not smoking for a day.

My girlfriend didn't like her first experience, of course. She told me that she didn't like the setting. She would have wanted me to be perfectly sane and sitting on the couch while she would smoke and trip. I guess I should have thought about that before, but since my laughing trip was over and I just felt a bit disoriented, I figured there was nothing to worry about and that she should sit with me and trip. Huh huh. I should have made her feel more secure. I just had laughed like a fool for 10 minutes and then immediately invited her to smoke. Nothing to feel secure about. Next time, we'll be more ready, we'll know. Also, next time, I will crush the leaves using my coffee grinder into a fine powder so I can fit it all in my bhang in one shot!
