Salvia Divinorum and Cannabis combination.

[Weyoun]

So last week I tried a Salvia (x5) extract properly for the first time (I described my experience and it is currently in the Trip Reports section).

It was a heavy experience for me and I'd like to experiment further with Salvia in the future. I've read up a lot on various psychedelic compounts on this site but I'm just not looking for trips that last 6-14 hours.

The thing is I am a heavy potsmoker. Meaning that I pretty much smoke it with everything I do (in my personal life). I smoke it after work, in the weekend etc. So when I took my Salvia I was already well high on pot.

My Question.
How does Cannabis interact with Salvia. Does it alter the experience at all? I've read that since salvia uses some of the same receptors on the brain, smoking cannabis beforehand might have salvia make a (slightly) lesser impact. But other people seem to disagree with this.

I'd love to hear from psychonauts who've tried Salvia WITH and WITHOUT pot, and hear about their first-hand experience rather than conjecture.

I find it extends the effects of salvia up to an hour or two. also intensifies.
some might dig that
now I have yet to hallucinate with salvia, and I've smoked up to 5 bowls of 20x. But as for the other mental/physical effects, yeah.

It sucks though, as the cannabis makes you hungry and salvia makes you loose your sense of taste. I ate an entire bag of cheetos and didn't taste anything, but persisted anyway as I was hungry.

It's really intense, which is why I don't enjoy doing it very often, but it's good to meditate and break down some nervousness. Then again, the beating of your heart may freak you out. That's why I try and down a bottle or two of water before I smoke either, or combine it.


The trip is pretty much the same. Cannabis just intensifies it if you concentrate on it. For the most part, you don't even notice you're high on pot. It does make the coming down a bit more progressive and easier to handle. But you'll feel like you're still under the bodily effects of Salvia long after the trip even though you're not.

this is about the effect that I had noticed, thanks for confirming this.

I ordered some 10x last week, I think im gonna try it without smoking pot all day. :wink:

... if it ever arrives.. I ordered a book with the Salvia (Alduos Huxley: Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell) and appearantly it wasnt in stock and its holding up the order forever

It made everything funnier.

I saw aliens in the sun, but instead of being terrified it was hilarious.

Also, the sun would be a really good place for aliens to hide. It's probably a really good place to put a high-tech civilization, with all the energy around. I await the days when we can probe that ocean of plasma.
