My 1st Salvia Trip... Strange

[PrinceReborn]

I had tried salvia once before but it didn't do anything to me at all. It was when I was new to smoking and I probably didn't inhale it properly. I believe it was 10x.

The other day I was at my friends house for a party and we all got baked in the kitchen. There was about 8 of us there. Near the end of the party I was offered some salvia. I took some time to think about taking it or not, after an hour or so I decided I would.

I was handed the small bong which was already packed with which was apparently 60x salvia (Thats what it said on the vial anyway). I lit the salvia with a butane lighter and took a large toke. At this point I started to think about all the bad things that happen... probably not a good idea. I held the smoke in for about 20-30 seconds and as I breathed it out I could feel the effects already. I was standing in the kitchen and everyone was looking at me as I was falling into the trip. I kept hearing people say "can you feel it yet?" even though I couldn't figure out who it was that was talking.

The next thing I know is that people just continued on with the conersations they were having but it was so strange. As I seemed to unconsiously listen to the conversations it was like they were reading my mind. I would think about something in my head like Christmas or something random and they would start having a conersation between themselves about christmas within a second after I was thinking about it. I would then freak out and change my mind to think about something else completely random, and they would start talking about what I was thinking about. At this point I had forgotten that I was tripping.

As I looked towards the door in the kitchen, which was in front of me, everyone seemed to be bending over forwards quite cartoon-like creating a kind of tunnel between me and the door. I felt like I was a train - I started moving my arms in a train like motion as if my arms were the bar things attached to the wheels of a steam train. Everyone was looking at me and saying things but I wasn't able to understand what they were saying. I then decided to sit down on the kitchen floor, everyone else seemed to sit down as well. I sat there moving my arms around in front of my face. I almost randomly started crying at one point during my trip... for no apparent reason. This seemed like it was going on for hours.

I decided to get up and go and get some air outside, I was speaking to one of my good friends because he was having a cigarette outside. It felt like my trip was slowly going away. I went back into the smoke filled kitchen and everyone started talking to me and that seemed to re-trigger my trip. I freaked out again and went back outside for a few more minutes.

I gathered my thoughts back together and went back into the kitchen for the second time. I had to keep reminding myself that I was tripping and I am still slightly tripping. The trip eventually went away for the most part after a few more minutes.

From taking the bong hit to the trip being over took about 15 minutes. I then felt really baked for about the next 45 minutes.

The next day I felt revitalised. Almost as if I was reborn. It was an experience like no other. I will never forget it.

Even though this trip sounded bad, it wasn't bad really, I will probably take salvia again in the near future... but probably in a room with less people.

Welcome to the forum. &thanks for sharing your experience. It must have been very strange to hear people talking about what 'you' were just thinking about.

Doing Salvia with just a silent other present as a sitter is imo the best way to experience it. It will probably be less chaotic while maintaining the depth.

I would think about something in my head like Christmas or something random and they would start having a conersation between themselves about christmas within a second after I was thinking about it.

I had the same, but in silence. I was expecting some people to come home later, so somehow the door started speaking to me. During a later hit my shisha started talking to me: "Don't take too much. Didn't you take too much? You took too much!!" I can imagine the murmur of friends combining with your own thoughts to make it appear as if they were speaking your mind.

Hee hee... I always seem to get this kind of talking too, but by supraluminal beings from another dimention.

First everything around me decomposes into living cells, they all grow into people stacked on top of each other, then it starts spinning.

With each spin I hear conversations about how good life is, and how cheerful most people are, then I realise how lonely I am.

Then I start falling or rising, it's hard to tell, maybe both. Each spin becomes a page, each page is a version of me in a parallel plane of existance, I can dwell and observe or even live each plane, but usually I can keep emotionally coherent enough to not be attracted like this.

Then it begins to spin so fast (this dosen't make me dizzy at all) that the whole 3-d plane looks flat.

Then it's like from my torso I can stretch and "lift" myself to peek into the 4th dimention , where all these ascended beings are having a reception, but I don't really trust them.

They help me stretch a little more and this feel very elating, it's like a massage for the soul. They tell me : "Come you know you can , once you are up you can fly..." but I'm like : "No, I will look but I don't want to take part of this because I don't trust you, trust takes time and obviously I don't have time here."

And then I get pulled back into a nice psychedelic afterglow where I laugh and laugh and laugh... I mean it, I laugh until I cry of joy because everyone is so happy around me.

And then woosh I'm back in the room alone with my sitter, then wham I'm back into the reception with happy people and laugh some more... this wears down after 5 minutes or so !

Salvia is not strange, it's a very intelligent plant, she shows you many things.

It's not a toy ! Have a competent sitter who will not let you trip around much people, and will know what to tell you if you try to stand up and do things.

You MUST trust this person !
