Monkey recieved a bottle of salvia tincture yesterday and gave it a try last night.
He put 2 droppers full into his mouth. IT BURNED! He sipped a little water to dilute it which helped, plus after the initial shock his mouth went fairly numb.
He let the fluid rest in the back of his throat to maximize pharyngeal absorption.
He sat in a meditative state with his mind open, establishing a feeling of invitation to the "spirit" of the plant.
Several minutes later he added two more drops.
After around 15 minutes he began to see faint ghostly cevs of strange monochromatic moving shapes. His mind became very clear and a good session of contemplation ensued.
After around a half hour or so the experience receded and he sat to ponder it for a while and integrate the contents of the contemplation with the intentions set out before hand.
He decided to take three more drops and had a similar level experience however this one was not pleasant due to him trying to force more out of the experience than was forthcoming.
A very different experience from smoking, that's for sure. Very mild and relaxing as opposed to the rollarcoaster ride of the smoke. He will continue to report anything of interest as he experiments with higher doses with the rest of the bottle.
