Can 5x blow your socks off?

There is a report on Erowid from someone waking up from his Salvia trip while driving 160 on the freeway. I don't know if it is real, but there are enough stories like this to make me certain that it is possible to hurt yourself.

Lol, I doubt that story. Reminds me of that story of the guy who was on acid, called his friends on the way home and asked them if they knew how to speak troll. His friends told him that he was pretty messed up and should continue on home. Next morning he heard scratching inside his closet. He opened it up and there was a 6-year old girl who had down syndrome. She'd been missing for weeks. He called the cops and had her brought back to her home.

But traditionally, when people were to chew the quid, they'd have a group of sitters sitting very close to the person who was under its effects so they would not wander off into the forest and get mauled by some animal.

I've only had one time where I started off tripping while laying down on my bed, then came to in my bathroom. I guess I had to go. Haha. For the most part I just stay where I started.

Then start with low doses so you can get familiar with how it feels and how you react to it.

Ok, I thought the extract was like "nothing ... nothing ... WHAM!!".
Good to know that you can ease yourself into it.

I said I did about 10 trips before but maybe half of them were more or less duds, the dosages being too low (or threshold). I'm careful with this, VERY careful.

Haha, yeah. It takes about 5 seconds for the smoke to hit the bloodstream after you exhale. Then BOOM. You're launched into the womb of space and time.

Glad to hear you're careful with it.
Just keep trying. You'll find which extract works for you, and how much.

Personally- it takes two bowls of 60x for a good trip. If I want an intense trip- two bowls of 80x.
Everyone's diff. Find out what works for you!

Ok thanks.
But first I'm gonna "practice" a bit more with my leaves (I bought 9 grams).
Practice makes flyboy.

[edit]
Final question : should I get a 0.1 gram scale?

 

[Forkbender]

better get a 0.001 scale, so you can use it for other stuff when it comes around. Shop around, you can get them for around 40 $.

with chewing the leaves rather than smoking, I know it takes a little longer for it to peak, is it a smoother ride and more controlable/more understanding on whats going on rather BANG -wtf mate? who am/where am/what am??

I agree, kinda. I don't really like the quid method cuz I end up wanting to swallow my saliva, haha. I find it more difficult, really. But the trip is more controllable.

Smoked extracts are my preference though.

I agree

Things to think about: don't be concerned with your heartbeat. You're not gonna have a heart attack. It speeds up like a motherfucker, but you're perfectly fine. Also you'll likely be sweating like a waterfall. No worries there. The gland Salv. A works on controls body temperature. It's simply reacting to the molecule and telling the body to cool itself down. In essence: don't freak out about anything. Stay calm and as always, treat Sally with the utmost respect.

I wish someone had have told me these things before my first Sally trip. It was...good over all (challenging, but good), but there was definitely some anxiety over my heartbeat and the sweating. I was definitely concerned with my physical reaction; even more so in fact than the giant face that was talking to me.

As for not having a sitter, sometimes you just don't know the right people. I have the same problem. Most of the people I know would make TERRIBLE sitters. My advice is basically the same as what has already been said, if you are going to do it without a sitter make sure you do so sitting/laying down. This makes you much less likely to get up and walk around.

Also I've sent you a link to some decent scales in the sensitivity Forkbender mentioned.

Good luck BridgeUnder, be safe and let us know how it goes (in the trip report forum, so forkbender doesn't eat you lol ).

For my first salvia trips I got a 20X extract and didn't use a scale. I also didn't have a sitter, but spent all my experiences either sitting or lying down in my bed, with a minimum of light around. There wasn't the slightest impulse to get up and walk around.
