... I would reccomend growing the Salvia yourself, to insure that the plant is healthy, as well as to make sure that you know the organic purity of the plant.

It is best to start with three medium-sized leaves. Larger persons might need as many as five. It is always best to start with a leaf and work up, as the experience can be quite intense. If you work up, then you can become more familiar with the plant's effects and control your dosage somewhat.

It is best to do it on a slightly empty stomach, 4-6 hours after a nice, full meal. It is strongly reccomended that you do *not* take alcohol while partaking of Salvia.

It is always reccomended that you have a "watcher" with you during your experience, in case you need help of any sort. It is considered part of taking this herb to make the journey with someone who is experienced in it and will be your "watcher".

One of the best things about the herb is that while it delivers the most potent of hallucinations available in the natural pharmacopia, the effects leave the system within 23-28 minutes (some individuals may metabolise it faster or slower, resulting in times of 15-40 minutes).

It is best to do it in a natural enviroment, free of distractions, stresses, aggrivations or sudden/loud noises... for example, not in Times Square. This is because your senses are hightened, and any extra stimuli or loud noises will increase your anxiety and direct your vision down a not-so-pleasant path.

For those of you who have tried Morning Glory or Psylocibe decotions, it is a much more intense trip, with brighter, stronger, and more surreal visuals. It also includes physical sensations and "psychic hallucinations" unlike those experienced during most herbally induced trances or trips, but quite similar to those reported by individuals who have taken Ketanest S, Ketacet or Ketelar as an emergency anesthesia.

27. Yes,,,
Edited on Mon Aug-20-07 06:19 PM by skater314159
... it is currently not regulated in most US states... but that is changing as more and more public officials become familiar with it.

Some of the preparations that you can acquire online or in herbal health stores are tinctures, teas or decotions. Unfortunately, many people do not know the difference between these three methods of preparation; also the herbs may be prepared incorrectly or in a poor manner. These preparations are often quite weaker than ingesting the actual leaves of the plant - and some merely cost a lot, while providing nothing. This is why eating the leaves themselves is reccomended.

10. Worth a try
Make sure you research it and are not in a bad state of mind. It will do things to your mind that humans arent necessarily meant to experience.At least that is what I have thought coming out of it everytime. Just respect it and be aware everytime you use it.

11. I love it. But make an extract, it's much easier to ingest...
I found smoking plain leaf forced me to smoke way too much for comfort. I create a 5x (non-stadard) extract and I'm in lala land with about three pulls from the bong.

12. I've smoked it and liked it. I've smoked it and hated it.
The first time I smoked Salvia it was sprinkled on a bowl of marijuana. The effect was great but I'm not sure how strong it was or how much was put on the bowl. I really should have asked.

Later I bought some Salvia that was sold as "incense." It was 45x. Apparently they concentrate the stuff and put it on other greens to make a supercharged Salvia. It was in a little purple box.

When I went to smoke it, I read a little on the net and learned that you gotta smoke the stuff rapid-style. The body metabolizes it fast so you've gotta pull it all within 2 minutes or so. No problem...I packed a full bowl in my bubbler and smoked it hard. It's harsh and stinks and tastes like crap.

Soon the world began to warp a little and I realized it was going to work. The next thing I know the world starts folding up like an accordion and, as I was in my backyard, I feared that I would get folded out of the world...so I jumped through my open sliding glass door onto the floor. The world kept folding up and I heard myself yell, "What is happening to me?!" Within a minute or so I was covered in sweat, laying on the floor, very confused.

I gave the remainder to a friend with whom I had tripped in the past. I told him what happened but neither of us have touched it since.

I'm positive that others have much better experiences than mine.

17. It's unique to say the least.
Not like weed, or shrooms or really anything for that matter. Doesnt last long at all, maybe 2 minutes, but its crazy. You get sweaty, laughy, for some reason it feels like your being slowly pushed down, and your skin fells weird. Neat visions, kinda weird again.

18. I tripped balls
I smoked some 15x extract, and I got scared because I thought I was in the movie on the TV. It was a cartoon too. The rest of the room was like a giant vortex.

It took me 5 mins to realize what was going on and where I was. Another ten minutes later I was completely straight. It was scary, but I did it again later that night cause it was kinda fun.

It is a weird experience, unlike any other hallucinogen out there. The drug wasn't too fun, but its worth doing once just to see how its like.

19. I got...
Edited on Fri Mar-23-07 08:45 PM by greyghost
some over the net from The Herbal Smoke Shop.

It wasn't as strong as the shuff that some of the other posters had. It had a mild sedative effect that wasn't too bad, but it tasted AWFUL.

28. Yes, it does taste AWFUL.
That's due to the chemical nature of the plant (it's a base) and that is why after you eat the leaves in native ritual, there is a drink that you take to help you stomach it... otherwise it is just bitter, earthy and DISGUSTING!

(I *strongly* reccomend something with milk in it, or eating cheese to clear your pallete)

20. Heh, I just posted this in the Lounge. I have, and I found it amazing
I was seeing shit everywhere. Even the smallest movement provoked an amazing array of closed eye visuals. I was seeing so much shit I couldn't tell whether my eyes were open or closed. I wouldn't want to do it too often because of how intense it was, but I give it a thumbs up.

25. I think both should be legal, but salvia definitely affects you way more than weed.
I didn't know wtf was going on when I did salvia, and I can drive perfectly when high. Not that I should but I can.

24. Tried it thrice---CRAZY
I got two-deminsional. Wowie zowie. Then I was perforated. I ripped myself out of the 2D world. For some seconds, i had NO THOUGHT. my existence melted away, then I was born, relearned my life and came down to a nice buzz. It lasted no more than 5 minutes. 5 of the most surreal minutes of my life. Try it for sure. It has a reverse tolerence effect. Each time takes less and gets more intense. Wild.
