last night me and my friend Leah experienced something that cannot fully be described in mere words. The following experience is not over exaggerated at all, and was in fact the best experience that a substance has ever given me, i am a changed man.....
About 11pm a friend of mine, Chris offered up some salvia. we went to his house to smoke.......... but weren't prepared to trip.
Leah was up first and took whats generally thought of a normal amount. She claimed that the salvia trip for her was more funny than serious. she really thought that me and Chris were holding her to the couch when in reality it was the salvia ( this is a very strong sensation of ones body being held down) She laughed the whole trip as well as when she was coming down...about 15 minutes later. readjusting to the world seemed to be easy for her...i was up next...
Chris gave me what was left. Not quite enough for two hits so i had one BIG hit. About 6 seconds later i felt this imaginary line creeping up my body starting with my waist area.It traveled up me incapacitating me along the way, it finally made it to my throat which was scary b/c i tried to fight it, but it took my voice anyways. After the initial onset it was a roller coaster of emotions and physical feelings. I said so many things in that 15 minutes but couldn't use words. I saw so much in that 15 minutes but cant describe it whatsoever. I was being pulled from this world backwards into the chair and it surrounded me, made me feel like an infant. The chair was black leather, and after a few seconds (or what felt like seconds) my whole plane of vision was black....midnight black...the blackest black possible. Then the colors..... I then went into the "peak" which was the most beautiful, color-filled environment that i ever could have imagined. I was looking at myself through a 3rd person perspective, this was unnerving, yet not terrifying. My vision was a full 360 degrees not 180 like our reality suggests...shapes were no longer 3d, as a matter of fact there was no association with up, down, left, or right at all. I was lost and didn't want to return. The new reality i was experiencing was fast paced, beautiful, and full of things that cannot be described with the words we use in every day reality. Then i tried once again to pry myself up from the chair to no avail....
When i came down it was hard for me to adjust...i was confused...threw off my hat in astonishment about what i had just experienced, shot up outta the chair and rambled on and on about what i "saw." There was a total disassociation between body and mind, and when i say :"total" i mean your body is incapacitated although it feels as if another source is causing you to move. These movement feel very sluggish, and no matter how hard you try you cannot pry yourself from the place that you began tripping, mine was the chair i described as surrounding me, and all this time your mind is separating from your body, this is probably unpleasant for some, me included, but i managed quite well at this point, which i state to be my "peak". i cant describe "what" i saw from this second on but it was beautiful, and new, and scary at the same time.
when i finally started to come down, it was as if the imaginary line that crept up my body and took my voice slowly came back down my body..(first my brain got clearer and i was able to form semi intelligent thoughts, followed by my sense of speech returning, and finally, and the longest lasting part of the trip is "jello legs" these went away apro 15-10 minutes after ingestion.) after about 30 minutes TOTAL i was able to smoke a little then drive home with NO after effects at all..except for the wonder and astonishment i felt for what just occurred.
I enjoyed this experience allot and hope to be able to do it again, next time i want to try and control it with my mind though, i wasn't prepared for the intensity that i felt. Maybe ill try to let this line overcome me without fighting it, you are bound to have a better trip if u dint fight it. This is common sense for anyone with even a slight knowledge of hallucinogenic substances. AMAZING SUBSTANCE AMAZING
you can find out anything you want to know about this wonderful plant, as well as any drug known to mankind at this site. I highly recommend this before experimenting with any substance not known to your body. But as far as salvia is concerned i believe it would do everyone some good to see what i saw and feel what i felt, and therefore completely condone the use of and sale of salvia to all who may be interested in exploring really what there mind can produce givin the right turn of events.
