This is going to be a long post sorry :P.
So the first time I ever smoked Salvia was a while back with a friend who claimed to know alot although afterwards when I knew more I found out he was not the best sitter

. But anyways, I have done it numerous times since then but never quite that one experience... I still remember all the details.
So basically on my first trip. I used one of those large 3-footish bongs with a large portion of the packet of 30x extract (filled a large bowl to the very top - full bowl) and a few hoots. After finishing taking it down, I started telling my friend something about "I can't do anymore omg" and then it suddenly hit me...
It was a very long trip compared to my usually 5-10 min ones and lasted 25 minutes or so with very strong effects and I had atleast an hour of afteraffects where I was very slightly seeing things, euphoric feeling, etc.
Basically, the trip can be summarized by first me getting a large amplification of all my senses. Sense of taste, smell, etc. seemed much greater and then my perception of space/time began to change. The room seemed to grow and since it was my first time I was somewhat worried and began to yell "I WANT TO GET OUT". I was trying to escape the room and before the experience was too deep began calling random people (although I was having trouble seeing numbers on the cell (I was seeing double/triple numbers)) and was freaking out as the room grew bigger and it seemed like some form was chasing me. I was yelling about cucumber people and something with a knife chasing me. Eventually my friend I called told my "sitter" to get me to lie down and relax and after 4/5 min of this bad trip which I didn't mind much as it was interesting I lied down on this bench in the room we were in (isolated room that we locked).
After this I began to calm down, although my body was sweating everywhere. As I stared across the room, anything I saw began to come together and form various beings. I saw a number of things and it felt like a bunch of mini trips. At first I saw many parallel faces side by side that were still but their eyes were just watching me and looking around the area and at each other while I gazed at them. I was in some sort of prison at some point and there were alien entities all around. It was a good part of the trip though since I wasn't in the prison myself and was basically just a passerby there and not in harm. I was just marvelling at all the amazing creatures and laughing and stuff at their unusual features etc. Someone else entered the room and he seemed like a guard who terrified me shortly but I adjusted to his presence and continued. A number of experiences like this continued and at one point the entire reality seemed to change and I was unaware of anything "real" around me besides the new reality I had formed. Although this may sound awkward, there were a number of alien forms engaging in numerous activities (including defacation and spitting and stuff o.O) all around me and it was an interesting experience.
After a number of unusual experiences as I seemed to be "ascending" from trip to trip, it felt like I left my body and was lying on a cloud. I was staring at these angel like forms and white gargoyles that were knelt around me and flying and my friend later told me I was just saying "Wow" over and over.
Anyways, after what seemed like a very long time, these and similar experiences ended; (I also paniced slightly for a moment again and remember seeing a skeletal figure that was chasing me for a brief time although that ended shortly luckily), the effects began to slowly fade off as I seemed to re-enter my body and the entities slowly vanished, I began to perceive reality once again, and eventually things became fairly normal as I seemed to leave this dream world. I have to say it was one of the most intense experiences in my life; even the "bad trip" was really interesting when I began relaxing although I was terrified for a while. I'm pretty sure it was a level 5 experience and was amazing.
Ever since this time, I have used 20x-40x extracts, although to a lesser extent (I have never tried 10x or less as even with 20x I was becoming disappointed as I kept comparing the experiences to my first trip) and have never quite had this kind of experience. Although I didn't use as much extract (gramwise) and didn't do as many hoots, since I used 40x on some occasions, and also since the first experience was SO INTENSE, I expected to atleast have a fairly insane trip. But although I have had some very nice trips since, they were never quite like that one besides 1/2 others which were similar.
I noticed when I have these "visionary" and amazing trips, I am using a large bong + screen and large amount of extract 30x or 40x (although I hear I shouldn't be using that much I haven't blacked out yet or gone "level 6"). That makes sense obviously but sometimes when I used some methods that I thought were fairly good like a large gravity bong and a number of hoots, I have still had nice experiences but nothing like these. I generally use a large gravity bong but I noticed my best experiences were actually with the tall regular bong. I have also tried some other methods like smoking "a joint" of salvia which worked out very poorly and on some instances I have only had a euphoric, good, happy kind of feeling with no other effects, let alone seeing images, altered reality, or even a sense of leaving my body to another reality.
Any input about what you think of this trip or any suggestions on your preferred method/strength of usage? I really want to make ALL of my trips like those few amazing ones.
Thanks alot for reading all this
