So last week i was new to SD..

[incubi]

.. i came across Salvia Divinorum for the first time when a friend told about this plant (that no 1 knew about arround here), and had really a great kick when it came to visual distortions and/or allucinations, i dont have a regular use of any kind of stimulant but i like to think i have a healthy interest in the subject (to be honest i dont even smoked a joint or even got drunk in the last 6 months or more), so i started to gather some good information
in what was Salvia Divinorum exacly.
Saw some of the videos that where in youtube, some very funy while others quite pathetic , also seen a documentary that looked legit and read loads about it from the several websites filled with great information.
Me and my girlfriend went on this search of info for a couple weeks, and our interest and curiosity in trying salvia grew at each word read and at each minute spent seeing other ppl trips in youtube.
Then last week we had the possible information about the stuff, how to use, when to use, the expected effects (as it was possible to foresee those lol) and more important we knew where to get it.
Once i got out of work i drove 90 kms to go to a smart shop where we bought a new bong for the speccial occasion, a pack of dried leaves and a 5x extract just to try it out.
When home and later in the beguining of the evening i prepared the bong the music and a drink for this new experience, placed 2 Puff couches in the midle of the living room and lighted the incense

After the second inalation i couldnt keep the giggling quiet...
On the Third inalation i could see that if i didnt hold my balance the small vietnamite boat wold flip over and i wold fall into the river. At this point i was telling myself that i was "perfectly fine" the stuff hadnt kicked in yet and naturaly i was in a boat floating in the river that passed throug my living room like it had allways been.
After what i thought it was 5 minutes the boat was gone, the river was gone and i decided that i could gather enaugh strenght to go to the bathroom, but not before i had my gf to fill up the bong again and after a couple mins strugling with myself i managed to inhale it for another 2 or 3 times. "Im ok" i said after smoking, and tryed to get up... big mistake, my legs below the knees were standing in 2 french fries and i had to hold on to every wall to get to the bathroom, and only when i got there i noticed that all the surfaces, the walls, the floor, the cieling had this patern i havent noticed before, each cell of the mosaic like patern had a white eye with a green pupil on the center and the only diference from patern of the walls for the patern of the cieling or floor, was the size of the cells. My girlfriend picked me up in the bathroom and placed me in the Puffs again till i was more lucid and able to talk about what i had just experienced.
Altho i dontquite remember what my boddy felt like during all this trip, i remember the state of "feeling good extreeme" i was for hours after i smoked.
All this trip i felt was on my first Salva Divinorum experience, and we only smoked the dryed leaves....
My girlfriend experience seemed to not have been so intense, but i wont describe it, if she decides to share later it its up to her .

As u can imagine, after i had all that trip i decided that Salvia was not to be taken lightly and it was something i wold only try in my days off, that hapened to be yesterday.

I was expecting to have a similar experience as last week, so i decided to fill the bong with dried leaved and that 5x extract that i spend the whole week looking at with a mix of awe and fear of the effects it might had on me, in the end it was a disapointement, after 2 bongs i had all the nice mood and felt my boddy all fuzzy but i didnt had any trip.

Is it normal to have been so affected by the leaves last week and now even if i mixed the leaves with the 5x extract it didnt made me trip?

That really sounds like salvia - your description is perfect because you don't introduce anything like "I felt like I was on a small boat"... no, it was just there and it had been that way as long as you can imagine and of course you were on that small boat on a vietnamese river. LOL

I can't tell you why you didn't trip on 5x leaves, but I can tell you that you are lucky to get positive feelings after the trip. All I ever got from salvia (as interesting as the trips were) was a feeling of being hollowed out and robbed of my will to live. If you feel happy after a salvia trip, just try again, most people say you will get more sensitive to it the more you smoke!

LOL. Perfect.
One of my "mild" trips had my giggling that I was winning, and the salvia wasn't taking my ego away, so I could have fun with the visuals.
Moments later, I was still laughing, because I was allowed to have time to trip (I was comforted in knowing I was tripping, I used a tincture and the extract smoked usually has me not realize I was tripping)... I was allowed to trip because nobody could see me on the top shelf of the outdoor market I was being sold at.
Yeah, while maintaining my base and telling myself salvia wasn't going to 'fool' me, I thought I was an item for sale on a top shelf of an outdoor market.
Once it occurred to me I got fooled anyway, I said aloud "son of a bitch!" and the giggles turned into hard laughter.

NOTHING about SD is necessarily predictable or follows the general rules.
I've tripped harder by chewing a few leaves then 2 hits of plain leaf than 10x extract. The idea of reverse tolerance makes sense, too. You can 'learn' to require less of it.

last nite with a 10X extract i had seppia visuals like the fractal image entitled "space" that is here on the forum
i remember before i started getting visuals i was sitting on the floor next thing i know i was 180° shifted in position and laying on the floor in "crossed" (like jesus yes) position i must say it was fascinating how my mind was influenced by the knowledge of the religious use that is intertwined with the use of this herb

anyway as soon as i was fully conscious again i went to smoke the other half gram i left aside and anjoyed the rollercoaster ride for ages... i was the rollercoaster and i could feel on my body the vibration of the metal and all at this stage i couldn't understand if my eyes were open or not and the colours were amazing.

probably i was dumb not to get a sitter, but i managed to control myslef from doing anything stupid i woke up this morning fresh asa rose on my very comfy bed
oh i almost forgot
at one point i saw my body being diluted in the environment, but i felt really calm, somehow looking forward to melt and vanish, however a change in the wind currents made my body solidify and i stopped melting...

one thing im experiencing with the repeated use of Salvia is that every time i hit it, i seem to have more of that detachment of the individual feeling (dunno if im making myself clear) like if the boundaries of my individuality are not rock solid anymore, man sometimes its really hard to express in words what you feel
