Anyone smoke salvia?
 

Do we have any salvia smokers here?

Once. And you couldn't get me to do it again.

you did not enjoy having a seizure passing out and pissing yourself?

Why not?

No, that was the enjoyable part! Seriously it would have been way better than what I experienced. And what I did to the poor drywall.

Because it was probably the worst experience I have ever been through. It felt like I was trapped inside somebody else?s skin and I was literally clawing to get out. I did a lot of damage to some of the drywall, punched holes in it, left claw marks in it, etc. It felt like I was suffocating inside plastic, or trying to breathe underwater. Even worse I also saw what I can only describe as ?living shadows?. Huge moving black blobs with glowing red eyes.

a couple of my friends smoked it and they looked horrible. These are guys that have done almost every drug and they wouldnt do it again. One of them freaked out and was sweating and pacing and the other two looked like they passed out for a few seconds. What it that shit anyway and why is it legal?

I wouldn't count on it staying legal to much longer... It's been making waves all over the place, and almost known of them are good.

It's a plant and no clue why it's legal, just it is.

i've done it a couple times before. smoked the plant and used the extract.

it was interesting. i don't think i took enough though, i didn't see any shadow demons with glowing red eyes. haha.

sounds fun :Oh crap
sounds about right
surprised it took so long.....been getting bashed for my negative comments about it for a while...seen alot of people get fucked up on it bad...i've tried it didn't get me that bad...but watching others hit the floor at the same time was good enough to stop me from using it again

haven't tried it yet... hehehe...is it expensive? :D

Depends on the potency you get. But it can be expensive

I did once.. never again :disgust

I enjoyed it. I thought it was a little one-dimensional, as psychedelics go. Interesting visuals - I'm curious about how the molecule causes such specific visuals.

Hallucinations is pretty easy, the brain is extremely powerful. The drug just needs to either A) stop a chemical from reaching a certain part. or B) send too much of a chemical to a certain part. Either way the section of your brain controlling your "reality" is completely fucked and you experience some wild stuff.

Is smoking it the only way to ingest it?

Yes, it usually requires the use of a pipe if I'm not mistaken.

if you want to try it, try it fast it will be illegal soon, that is inevitable. it's illegal in a few countries already.

the pure/resin extracts are extremely powerful. It can be smoked, chewed or prepared as a tea.

It is very inexpensive, with $20-30 enough to get you a very potent 10x extract or higher

The active compound, Salvinorin A, is the most potent naturally occurring halucinogen currently known to man.

I know all of this because it was the focus of some of my undergraduate research in molecular biology :]

don't ask me if I've tried it ;]

I think it's illegal in 5 states already.

That stuff is pretty fuckin bad

Lots of people are having mental problems after using it

After seeing a good friend of mine piss herself on that crap there is no way in the world I will ever touch it.

no, you can quid it.

i love the misconceptions in this thread, and you wonder why salvia will be illegal. its not pot. its not something you smoke regularly. its a powerful plant that kids (young and old) don't need to be smoking to catch a high.

i wonder why, maybe because they had no fucking clue what they were ingesting?

I tried smoking it a few times... i remember the 1st time i tried it, i inhaled, held it for a minute, then as I was exhaling, my friend and I started laughing uncontrollably for about 5 mins... Saw a bunch of crazy patterns floating around, reminded me of a high-intensity shroom buzzz. I prefer DMT much much more than Salvia anyday. DMT's more internal, while Salvia is more of an external buzz... I think anyone who "develops" mental problems from taking this shit already was teetering on the brink of sanity...and shouldn't be taking any sort of stimulant to begin with. Salvia has never been proven to be dangerous.. mentally or physically.

If Salvia is smoked the main effects are experienced quickly. The most intense 'peak' is reached within a minute or so and lasts for about 1-5 minutes, followed by a gradual tapering back. At 5-10 minutes, less intense yet still appreciable effects typically persist, but giving way to a returning sense of the everyday and familiar until back to recognizable baseline after about 15 to 20 minutes. [2]

Chewing the leaf makes the effects come on more slowly, over a period of 10 to 15 minutes, the experience then lasting for about 40 to 50 minutes but producing much milder and lighter effects than other methods of dosing.
