Looking for some guidance on salvia Divinorum ...

[sunkssss]

Where to start, where to start... My pretty pink bunny has tried Salvia twice now, but there are a few questions to be asked. The bunny asked me to seek advice, so I thought I'd ask here.

Said bunny's 10x extract arrived a couple days ago, and his first experimentation was interesting to say the least...


I have transcribed the bunny's notes on the experience below:


Using the smallest pinch (this really must be emphasized) of extract (held in for 30 seconds or so) I achieved between a level 5 or 6, where the visualizations were intense and I was near amnesic, even now it's hard to recall anything more than a few interspersed moments of clarity. Soft-headed I suppose. As soon as the effects overcame my body, the room around me (my eyes wouldn't stay shut for the life of me) began to pulsate and tiny tree creatures became the fabric of the flesh, of the bed, of the walls, of the pillows. Words came forth from my mouth, something to the degree of "there are no people, these aren't people." In summary, the experience was difficult to handle, and to say there wasn't a high sense of paranoia would be deceiving. It was difficult to let go and let things be. The gravity effect was especially hard to deal with - there was a radiator about 2 meters to my left, and the urge to move in that direction was unimaginable (someone/something kept telling me to move towards it). Eventually I came out of it (after some walking around, trying to find cigarettes etc.) and the after effect was soothing as hell. It was one of the most spiritually tranquil moments I've ever felt - the sense of relief was so sweet. There were times when I never wanted to try it again (during my trip) and I swore I would give it away to someone interested in it. But after an hour I realized I had gotten a lot out of the experience, and wanted to further explore it.

Thus last night another experiment was tested. This time using only half of what was used before (an even smaller pinch, it's hard to convey just how small a pinch it was) the salvia was lit again. This time I lay down in bed underneath the covers, held it in for 10 seconds, and waited. This time I don't believe I got past level 2, just a slight disassociation with the room and body. This is where I came to a greater insight about what gave the first trip its unpleasantries. There was a feeling as if sally was ripping at my jaw just beneath the skin, and dripping from my ears. It wasn't pain - it was violence. It's such a mix of senses that I'm not sure I'm explaining it the best, but it's the closest I can come. The slow tug was pulling me forward, but before I got any further the peak began to diminish, and my body wasn't taken over. The after-high wasn't as strong as the first time.

What do you think of this? I would specifically like to know if different methods of taking salvia in would result in different sensations/beginning the trip. Most of all, the bunny doesn't want to have this violent feeling around his ears/jaw. Can you make tea infusions? Suck on it? Eat it? The bunny would like to stick with the 10x, because it is what he is most familiar with at this point (it would also be less expensive than ordering leaves/5x). Suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated.

First off, take a look at Noob Survival Guide: Drugs-Forum 101 to make sure you understand basic forum protocol and especially the rules.

Next, take a look around the Salvia Forum. There are plenty of threads that cover the same topics you are asking about. You can also use the Search Function if you feel comfortable with it (its highly recommended that you become comfortable with it). We don't really need another thread on basic salvia questions, people keep creating new threads with the same questions when they could just look at one or two threads and get all the info they need. If you still have questions after reviewing some of the other threads, you can post them in the relevant threads (preferably the ones with the most discussion on the topic to begin with).

Welcome to the forums.

This report interests me a LOT. I think I may make a post about this. At first swim's friend's description was simply attributed to the 'pull' as swim describes it. But after read this post I think Swim may have been wrong. his friend described, on his first trip with sally, 'a massive army standing right HERE' as he threw his hands up and positioned the to encircle a space directly behind and slightly above his head. He described and intense feeling of violence which perplexed swim as he never felt anything of the sort. Swim wonders if this might be attributed to fighting ego loss.

The only other meaningful method of getting a benefit from Salvia is a tincture. Swim has never tried this method before (though intends to sometime), but has heard it's description as one of a significantly greater endurance (up to 30 minutes). For that reason I wouldn't reccomend it until one has more experience with Salvia. For the record, I'm fucking jealous as fuck. Swim wishes he were a cheap drunk and could jump the fence on 10x =( LOL Swim is a 50xer =/

Just to update, my pretty pink bunny has told me that after sampling small amounts just before bed for the past week, he has come to a point where he feels much more accustomed to sally's effects. No longer does she rip at the poor bunny's jaw or leak from his big long ears. On the topic of ears, my bunny friend has shared a secret with me, "I like to play chanting music as it sets the mood nicely and gives me a place to focus on." He has now moved on to doses about 2/3 as strong as his first dose, and feels he may be ready to once again delve into the higher realms of sally's experience.

One odd note: yesterday my bunny received a kitten as a gift, so earlier tonight when he went away with sally he had dreams of kittens, kittens freakin' everywhere - he wasn't very amused either. There apparently is such a thing as too much kitten.

On one more related note of paranoia - it's an experience close to being in a cartoon, except everything is real. Sensible things happen: you fall off of a cliff you die, you get jolted with 10,000 jigawatts you die, you get crushed under an anvil you're dead as hell. The cartoon part is that reality is bendy, fluid, not fixed; the outcome is fixed more so than ever and the consequences are fully realized.

Cool, welcome abord, this is a great forum. Yes one can chew and make tea from Salvia, just do some searches. Its a crazy substance isnt it?
