Wow... your question about duration of Salvia's trip is something that forces me to write here a long post. I know its gonna be a long post because i had written it a few minutes ago when i lost everything because we had a blackout [electricity failure of the whole neighborhood]... and the reason is because Salvinorin is my favourite substance, for it is the only one which produces the effect of Existentia, which loosely means that SalviaD transforms itself into a real alive being... i know it soundz akward, but its true.
My only one trip with Her was enough so as to say now that I dont feel its again time to meet Her. It was an experience of a lifetime, a shocking comprehensive discovery inside me. I realized what I do really feel for specific other people that i know. I smoked the 10x extract that Azarius sells and I can say that the quality was very high. Be prepared though, that She is somehow alive. Salvinorin is the only diterpene psychoactive substance, while ALL others, and i insist on ALL, are alkaloids. Noone knows what is the difference apart from that salvinorin cannot be traced inside the brain [acid and psilocybin and mdma for example have been found], but yet it produces the strongest trips you can hardly imagine. But it can also produce nothing. Absolutely nothing. Why? I dunno for sure, why did i have that wonderful trip while my girlfriend hadnt? I am not sure, but i can make an assumption. Salvia D is a truly magical plant in every aspect you can imagine. Even the plant itself, that was found to be used by Mazatecs, has a lot of mystery around it. It hardly creates spores as it propagates itself by bending over and finding soil again. And most of all, Mazatecs say that this plant is not theirs; that was brought from somewhere. So my theory is that it is so different from anything else and therefore the wanna-be Salvianaut have to prepare very well his contact with Her.
In other words, READ READ READ BEFORE USING IT
Its worth the try, believe me.
My trip in brief [so as to return to your question] began with hallucinations, threedimensional geometric patterns that emerged from my carpet. The carpet was alive and the patterns had meanings, mainly separating myself from my girlfriend who was my sitter for the trip, my sober sitter [she hadnt taken anything]. Then the big boom! I asked my sitter if we were alone, for I was sure that we werent. And then She showed up. She was speaking the voice of my heart. We kept talking for a long time, i was asking what was that place and things like that. She said a lot to me. She said a lot about MY way of seeing MY life. It was a beautiful experience, for She was like a Shamaness. Note that i never did see her with my open eyes, but every cell of my body was understanding Her words. Its crazy, but its so f**** beautiful that I am almost in love with Her.
The trip seemed to last more than 20 minutes of discussion.
Wanna listen to the story from my sober sitter's point of view? Yeah, right.
lol
No. 1: The trip lasted less than 3 minutes. I cant believe it but i know its true. It was a full 20 minutes for me. Time is only another dimension...
No. 2: My sitter says that at first, i was saying weird things to her about some patterns that i was trying to show them to her. DURING MY WHOLE TRIP, I HAD NO CONSCIENCE THAT I HAD TAKEN SALVIA DIVINORUM.
No. 3: After i asked her if we were alone, i laughed and then started talking, with open eyes as if i was sober, to someone invisible somewhere on my right [she was on my left]. the person i was talking seemed as if she was high in the air. I was asking questions and my reactions seemed like i was taking answers, which is so true.
My whole trip was written and sent on SalviaDivinorum's mailing list, and is a document of more than 3000 words
So, first of all read the USER'S GUIDE. It was written by Daniel Siebert, the founder of SageWisdom and also the first human to trip with Salvinorin. In fact, Mazatecs didnt know the plant's potency and they preferred shrooms. The result: the western society learned about shrooms and the shrooms became illegal. SalviaD is legal, because its a "new" discovery. You can read user's guide and more more more at
http://www.sagewisdom.org You can also read there trip reports that are interesting, like that man who was transformed into a neighborhood in Paris...!!
Then when u feel its about time, order some 10x extract and some leaves from Azarius. They do have excellent quality. A few tips: a) smoke them with a bong - b) have a sober sitter to take care of you in case u trip hard and decide to walk around or leave the house [big mistake, u can hurt yourself accidentally] - c) plan your trip - dont leave the room - be with your sitter only, no parties or anything, you need a quiet room with some gentle music playing, if u try it somewhere that anyone can distract you, you will see nothing at all, i promise.
Sorry 4 the long post, but i think i wrote some things that are important to someone who have never tried it.
If u have any questions, i will be around that forum for a while
Peace
