Hey Devon! Yes, Salvia "works". But as for the effects being the same as weed...nope. Depending on the strength you could just feel slightly fucked up for a few minutes, all the way to having major hallucinations...Also, the more you do it (unlike weed or any other drug), the stronger the effects get. Whatever you do-Don't do it alone!...

Here's my experience. My friend was having to stop weed, so we went out and boutght the strongest strentgh salvia we could get (this was our first time...so that may have been a mistake), but we were like, fuck it-we're hard core pot heads...we can handle it.

So we get the shit home and he takes a big ass bong hit- he starts laughing hysterically and can't even seem to talk at all- he started turning red so I got him some water, he started freaking out and threw the water at me...After a few minutes he came out of this "trance" and told me he had been scared to death and felt like the glass of water was going to kill him...I said "but you were laughing the whole time" and he was like , "I was?"....

So then it was my turn...we loaded it up and I took it...I started to feel tingly and warm all over then I got the "feeling" that I was being compacted into a very small space until it appeared that my friends and I were all eggs in an egg carton...eventually the illusion disintegrated and I found that I had my head between my couch cusions...however, all my friend said was that I was laughing hysterically then I fell off the couch and shoved my head between the cusions, still laughing.

We passed it around, the five of us all having similar experiences and it was time for the second rotation...

To make a long story short, all of our illusions became more and more real and intense-on my last hit, I thought I was in a jungle swinging from vines and when I came too, I was laying on the ground below my 2nd story apartment...I was told that I had slid down the bannister...once again, laughing like a maniac.

This was Very Potent Salvia and it was priced at $65 a gram, so with 5 diffent kinds for $35 dollars, I doubt the effects will be quite like mine were.

Don't worry, we've also tried the lower grade stuff and you still get the good tingly feeling and a great "afterglow" that can last all day long! It's fun, but unfortunatley, it won't make it any easier to go without mary jane- my lesbian lover!

I feel your pain...I moved to California to be with my husband who was in the military and didn't smoke weed for over three months...I am taking a big fat bong hit of some chronic right now for you! Hang in there!
