Salvia

[DrGonzo]

I smoked some just last weekend...haven't had any for aboot a year, so I got myself a little bag of 10X. smoked a single bowl of it, in a bubbler, with a butane soldering torch (super hot flame) and I held it in, and laid down on my bed. I shut my eyes for maybe a second, and then I was leaning against my doorframe, fifteen feet away...then I realized that it wasn't my doorframe, it was my matress, and I wasn't actually standing...then I turned to look at the door, and I was still leaning against the door frame. which as it turns out, was actually my matress all along.

and apparently I was on my balcony too...when I was able to walk without walking into things (maybe half an hour later, I'm not sure, I think I took a nap) I discovered the door wide open and both cats sleeping in the sun. I found it remarkeable because I had no recollection of going outside.

so in closing, salvia is a lot of fun, but be very careful! for your first time don't go so high as 15 or 20X, its way too intense to do that your first time. 10X should be more than enough; the 2 gram baggie I got for $30 canadian is enough for four people, for a weekend

I feel I should add, for the indefinite period of time where I kept discovering my doorframe and matress, each time I realized "I've done this before" and turned to check, there would be an infinite number of me's and doorframes branching off behind the one in front...kinda like two mirrors reflecting each other into oblivion. and for a little while, I was scared that I would be doing this forever, but another part of me was more scared that this was all there ever was, I've just been having a wonderful dream of life and love and things that are not matresses and doorframes, now I'm done dreaming and its back to work.

yeah, I have no idea either. you'll understand once you try it.

Use a butane! Never fails!

Nah though, I don't think you'll get carded to buy it. Do drug dealers ask you for i.d before they had you a demo or a dub? LOL, don't worry about it. Also, I don't believe 5X Salvia is 30$. Check to see if it's some good extract before you buy it.

I recently bought some standardized extract x10 which cost £15 gbp

[skarz]

Could someone specify this extract lingo. Theres the actually Extract, standardized, non-standardized, premium, concentrated, extract enhanced.... whats the difference with all this?

[skarz]

Oh yea, i forgot to add one thing.... has anyone ever felt ANY effects from just the plain old dried leaves? I know a guy who got some from ebay, just wondering if they do anything. I'm thinking im gonna get some salvia and some wild dagga FLOWERS, i hear the foliage is pointless.

HOLY SHIT DUDE- I seriously want to talk to you. A portion of mine was extremely similiar to what you are describing with the infinite chain of selves. The whole "I've done this before" was a conversation between myself and the rest of us (or "me"s), but "we" were not even in bodies, or in anything really. KInd of scary to think back on myself(ourselves) as us (me) hahah;. But the fear of "...that's all there ever was" really stuck with me. It seemed so infinite, so powerful, and soooo real. Even now thinking back on it, it seems more real than any trip on acid or shrooms. Dr Gonzo- read some of my post(if you can, you'll see hahaha) describing my salvia trip- it's "salvia and the unfolding". It's funny you mentioned mirror, because I actually was kneeling in front of a mirror when I touched what I touched.

Extract: The level of potency, 5 x normal, 10 x normal, 15 x normal, up to 20 generally.

Standardized: A more pure form of extracted salvia. Non standardized has a lot more tar and junk on it. I recommend you get standardized for health benefits.

Premium: Quality of the basic salvia is premium.

Concentrated: See extract. Unless it's in a liquid form, it could mean this too.

Extract Enhanced: same as non standardized, most likely.

Don't listen to these guys talking about taking multiple hits of 15 or 20x your first time. Take one very large hit, and hold it in as long as you can. The longer you hold it in, the more powerful it will be. Take 2 if you mess up the first inhale. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SITTER. Hand the sitter your bong/smoking device as soon as you are done hitting, especially if it's cherished glass. Be prepared to seriously trip balls. And don't do it with your main objective being fun. I definitely wouldn't have called the first time fun. It was insane. I thought I was a door spinning through a spiraling vortex, and that all I had ever been was a door and all I ever would be was a door. Time kept repeating. I didn't remember who I was, that I was on salvia, or that reality wasn't based on doors and spiraling vortexes. The come down was especially bizarre as I began to vaguely remember reality. It was like remembering a dream you had the night before and not being sure whether you just made it up or not, or whether it really happened. Respect is the main word here.

im not sure skarz but from what i know the standardized extract is supposed to be pretty good.... god I wish someone would explain it to me as long as its not to technical
