What feelings to expect?

[scyrusurcys]

I have read literally 10s of trip experiences on the internet, including those featured on erowid.com and here at drugs-forum.com, but I have yet to discover someone explain the physical changes that he/she experiences. What kind of feelings will my body have during or after smoking this herb? Will I get a brain-splitting headache? Will I feel numb all over? How will my throat/lungs feel? How long will these effects last (if any)? -Be aware that I have never smoked a single cigarrette in my life, let alone inhaled a lot of smoke at one time. Thank you in advance for your answers.

this is a much more mental drug than a physical drug

the first time i did it i got a head ache real bad
i didn't feel numb at all my lungs felt great (bong cooled the smoke)

really it didn't do that much for my body but the mental experience was amazing

you won't really even be thinking about what is happening with your body on a good salvia journey

and the come down isn't really all that long

i hope this has helped at least a little

Thanks for your reply, Paul. Yes - I've heard that the salvia quickly overcomes your mental state of mind and that you're not aware of the physical world.You said you got a headache on your first trip - has it occurred again since your 1st?If you or anyone else knows of a way to overcome the headaches beforehand, please letme know.I was also wondering that if anyone's experience has turned out justto be a "buzz" and caused problemswithout a mental trip. If so, please post a reply about how it went. Thanks.

I left out one thing on that last post:


"...If so, please post a reply about how it went **and the exact methodand setting that you used."**

through multiple experiences i have found this to be accurate:


"The first hit went down without a hitch. Inhale.. hold for as long as possible.. exhale. Almost instantly I could feel salvia's strange fingers pulling me gently but firmly to the ground. "


Salvia has the strangest physical sensations.. the above bold text is about the only way one can describe it.


**Remember to use a sufficiently hot ignition source. A regular bic lighter doesnt work.. MAPP gas powered torches work extremely well(hardware stores have these), but i imagine one of those "jet" lighters would also do the trick as well.

Here is an account of my first Salvia 15x extract experience.


Received my package,opened it,headed out to the garage to sample it. Loaded up a bowl and took a few deep tokes and held it in for as long as I could. I had a chair in my garage to sit in while I tripped. I felt it coming on, I dropped the pipe and stumbled to the chair never making it...just squirming on the ground...then I freaked out and tried to make it indoors (I thought I had fucked myself up good this time)...running into walls the whole way in.......busted through the door where my family and friends were visiting (I am 27 yrs old,visiting family, and thinking I was being sneaky)--FREAKED everyone out,jumped in shower with clothes on and burned myself with hot water...My brothe grabs phone and dials 9-1-(right then I came down enough to communicate) I stop the 911 nonsense, throw the evil extract away, and head to the backyard to come down, do some kind of hippy spin dance and celebrate being alive....after I was sober again I dug the extract out of the trash and learned more about it. My advice is to study up, get a sitter, and fasten your seatbelt....it is a pretty intense ride. Since then me and Salvia have become good friends, but she can be a nasty bitch sometimes.

Jesus, dude. Sounds like you forgot about that whole "sitter" part . No offense, but it seems like you should have been more precautious about the experience and the setting you were in. Most people suggest using dim light (candle light) and a VERY quiet setting while lying down. Post one of your future trip reports here and tell us how she treats you!

I didn't have a clue at the time...I thought I would fell high and maby get some tracers.....I DID NOT KNOW, but i know now. I smoke Salvia now every once in a while...dim lights are the way to go with a sitter (important)...I find it very interesting.....at times I get a feeling of embarrasment that I can't explain, I have felt this on K as well.....I know this is pretty strange......but all in all it is very useful in the right setting and in the right mind.
