Nothing happened to me.

We smoked it out of a water pipe, and, after feeling nothing happen, we smoked four grams between three people. One person started laughing uncontrollably, and all I felt was a slow sort of motion blur, like when slightly buzzed with liquor.


I will try it again before I dump it for good.

The author is a tool. Dan Rather shot heroin, and this asshole won't even smoke some dried leaves.



Edit: The irony, of course, is that I will not try salvia myself. Not for lack of interest but out of fear. I have control issues.

However, I'm not going on and writing a long rambling article that says nothing of substance, offers characterizations to demonize the drug, brings in totally irrelevant issues that would be thought to generate FUD - if they weren't so flipping far off the subject that it looks like he was high when he wrote this: "In the United States, 50 people die every hour from smoking-related diseases, according to the American Lung Association", and then finishing the whole load of crap with some flippant remark about smoking a cigarette.

Yup, if I saw that author at a party I'd probably deck him.

Salvia is a hit or miss drug for me, but when it hits, it hits like a sledgehammer. The descriptions in this article are fairly accurate. Worth a try if you've smoked "other" things.

For any drug I've ever tried - including LSD - I've never completely lost control. I've always had the feeling that I could 'sober up' if needed. Like, if I had to, I could sound coherrent to the police or my parents.. or make a 911 call.

Salvia sounds like something that would take every emergency ability away from me.. even if it's for 20 minutes, it sounds dumb for me to do that unless I was completely supervised. I don't think I'll ever try it..

Wow.. Dan Rather did a report on a drug and actually used a drug he reported about? Holy sh1t.. he actually experienced something he reported? Damn.. I have more respect for him now.

/tired of seeing people with opinions they know nothing about.. like a guy who has never taken a sip of any alcohol telling me it's morally wrong.

I personally have not tried it mostly due to the fact that i am assume it will be illegal soon and i have no idea how long it lasts in the body and how easily it is detected... Never know when i may wanna join the cia or something... I also have a tendency to have bad trips...

I have plenty of friends who have done it multiple times ... their experience has been hit or miss... at times it is a trip like shrooms a little goofy kinda wierd, then its like a wierd high where they giggle and dick around... My one buddy however, has had a trip that still has him a little freaked out... He saw god and was told the world was imploding because of him then proceeded to witness the world fold on top of him... He's done it a few times after that, but has never had a trip like that... Wierd stuff ...

10x concentration, I would say that it lasted about five minutes, at tops.

Salvia is awesome.

The intense effects generally only last 5-10 minutes, if that.

But those 5-10 minutes are like taking several hits of LSD, or can be.

:D

It's a very picky drug. It's hard to get a good hit because of the high temperatures required to vapororize salvinorin-A, and your body metabolizes it so incredibly fast that if you don't get a good hit the 1st or 2nd time, you may as well try it another day.

sweet, I've been to the head shop that this guy went to, didnt know they sold this stuff though. Highly doubtful I'd ever try it though, I'm paranoid enough as it is.

He wrote that he went outside to smoke a cigarette because he had a choice to smoke salvia but he didn't He decided on smoking a cigarette instead of Salvia even though they are both legal. So why make it illegal?

It's a well written article, he gave both sides of the story.

edit: btw this stuff is really intense...The feeling is so intense that you won't even know that you're a human...you won't know what reality is...you can be scared...you can enjoy it...it all depends on the person. Good thing is that if you have someone "babysit" you while you do it you will be okay because you'll wake from the "dream" within minutes.

i read about it a couple years ago but never really got the nerve to try it. might give it a try if i can find a fool proof method and sync it up with an optimistic mindset.

Had my first salvia experience this morning. The drugs is strong but the effects are temporary, no more than 5 minutes I'd say. The after-effects can last a little longer, but it's nothing serious.

I'll try to describe it as best I can...but it's like a dream; you forget it nearly right away.

The idea is to inhale the smoke and hold it in your lungs as long as possible, this increases the effect and makes the experience better. After I exhaled, I didn't notice anything, but then the floor seemed to start to cave in, like I was in a bowl or something. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't really form a sentence and just started laughing involountarily. There was a lighter in front of me and I reached out for it for some unknown reason. I felt like I was being pulled backwards.

My "trip" was nothing compared to what others have had, but the salvia I had was only 15x, I believe the highest is 40x.
