So, the mail came today and one piece was a gram of 20x which I was not expecting for at least a few more days. I quickly gave my two buddies R and G) a call to inform them of the news. Me and G arrived shortly at R's house.
I had introduced them to Salvia a few weeks earlier with a 5x extract, which had no effects for either of them and mild effects for me. Today, we had decided to smoke some plain leaf as a primer. A couple of leaves were broken up, loaded into a small waterpipe and passed around the three of us.
We finished the bowls off and G went to use the bathroom. I had very giggly (I should add here that we had a couple of joints of fine bud beforehand and G was about halfway through a 40oz beer.) and R commented that I sounded like the intro to Dark Side Of The Moon, which sent me even further into giggleland.
G returns and suggests we make use of the 20x and we don't object. I volunteer to go first and sprinkle just enough out to cover the screen, just a lungful. I light up, inhale and hold. I lie back and before long I start go get a feeling very reminiscent of the precursor to so called "astral projection", which is all I've experienced of that phenomena. I also had the impression of being encouraged along by someone or something. I felt as if I was being taken somewhere but was somehow unable to completely get there.
Coming out of that state, I mumble what I intended to be "I didn't smoke enough" and sat up on the bed. I felt the front of my body flowing downward as if it was a Dali clock. My mouth was hanging wide open and I had to keep it closed by holding my jaw up with my hand. Upon witnessing this display, G and R we convinced of Salvia's effects.
G and R both smoke similar amounts and experienced mild effects. We go downstairs to smoke cigarettes and discuss what had happened and decide to increase our dosage. About twenty minutes go by and we go for round two.
This is where it gets weird.
I go first again and this time I fill the bowl. It's about 1/2 inch wide and a 1/2 inch tall. I take the first lungful and hold until I get the body feeling, let it out and take the second. What happened is hard to get into words but I'll try my best.
I no longer existed. I was no longer Zeke. I could never even have a thought of me. I have a hard time of even referring to what was was experiencing this as I.
Everything is a lie.
I felt like I was a spike on a rolling cylinder. As it rolled, I the spike, was slowly pushed into the ground and as that happened I became the impression that the spike made. This kept repeating and this idea of being in this never ending cycle of spike/impression was absolutely terrifying. I was trying to pull away but could not.
As the Salvia world was closing up, I was regaining awareness of my body from my fingertips in. Back to reality somewhat, all I could do was say "Holy shit" over and over and laugh with joy that I was a human again. That feeling a joy was incredible.
As for G and R, I cannot speak for their experiences since I can hardly grasp mine but when R came out, he looked at G and said "Wherever I was, they sure didn't like you." Hilarious and perplexing. G had similar effects to round 1 due to his poor smoking technique.
All in all, it was quite a lesson in appreciating having life. Salvia is something to be very deeply respected.
