Salvia isn't a recreational drug, treat her as such and she'll either show you nothing, or take a big bite out of your psyche, just to let you know who's boss. Treat her as a shamanic tool, with respect, for seeking answers though, and she'll show you more than most other hallucinogens. There's a sense of 'contact' with salvia that I've only ever experienced with one other plant hallucinogen (DMT - the daddy), the trips can involve both travel to other realms and communication with other 'beings', not all of whom are benevolent.


I can't stress enough, it sounds attractive, but it's not a toy, not for recreation - the physical sensations can be VERY unpleasant, prickly skin, profuse sweating (I normally smoke it just wearing boxer shorts, cos coming out of a salvia trip into clothing literally soaked through with sweat isn't pleasant), you may move around while tripping (and when you trip on salvia you're in another reality, with no awareness of your actual surroundings) so you can injure yourself (you may also come out of it in wierd positions - I've come back to reality kneeling prostrate on the floor like some worshipper bowing at the feet of God - which given the nature of the experience is exactly what I had been doing, maybe not actually God, but definitely something resembling a deity). You may come out of the trip & recall absolutely nothing, or have memories you want to forget but can't. You may come out of it feeling more frightened than you ever have before, but with no idea why cos you can't remember the trip. Salvia is POWERFUL medicine - if you want a recreational trip, something that alters your perception & makes everything go wibbly wobbly or just plain daft, stick to cough mixture, salvia's for the big boys (& girls). Even if you consider yourself an experienced acid head, still treat salvia with care, it may only last ten minutes, but IMHO salvia makes acid look like childs play (and I reckon I've done enough acid in my time to make that judgement).
