Salvia

[Donatello]

So... I pondered for a few minutes whether I should post anything about this or not. But I'll just go for it.

So there is a legal (legal in much of the USA, in other areas I know it's regulated a bit more) herb around called Salvia. It is apparently extremely potent and hallucinogenic. Most smoke it but I guess you can also chew on the leaves.

Great website on the topic: http://www.salvia.net/

I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with this. A good friend of mine that we smoke weed with pretty often has tried it, and said it's freaking nuts. I've never really exerienced much with hallucinogenic drugs before... and the fact that salvia is legal and relatively safe is honestly a bit intriguing to me.


Lock this if deemed necessary, but hey... I figured, it's legal, so what the hell.

- Alex's Salvia Trip

It starts slow but gets fucking hilarious. Watch the whole thing.

my roommate made this paste and put it on some crackers one night and i tried some. i was so messed up I tried going to sleep but i couldn't because i was so messed up i actually believed I had gone crazy and there was no coming back.

I've done salvia before up at some state park in Ithaca, and let me just tell you, it's nuts. I tripped complete balls for the first 5-10 minutes, like everything was going in slow motion and I was laughing wicked hard but I couldn't feel my mouth. And then after the first 5-10 mins I was just a good high for a few hours. One of my good friends also did it at a party last weekend and he was going insane. He was just walking around with his hands up like trying to grab for stuff and he was like sweating a ton. So I think the trip depends on the atmosphere. It was really good out in nature. I prefer doing it outdoors, and smoking it not chewing it.

I used to smoke salvia every once and awhile in high school. At the head shops around here you can by anywhere from 5X to 40X. The first time I did it I tried 20X, it was fun, but nothing compared to 40X.

The first time I smoked 40X was so much fun I couldn't believe it. It only lasts about 45 seconds though. I'm not about to watch that whole video but I definitley could not imagine being fucked up on salvia for 10 minutes, and that makes it seem fake. The part I did watch seemed realistic though. You sort of get like a fuzzy poking feeling throughout your entire body. Then if your sitting down you will lean forward, somtimes falling off your chair. Then you laugh your ass off for awhile. It may feel like a grid of lines went through your entire body. Then its gone. It doesn't work nearly as well if you try to rip another bong of it right away.

It works a lot better if you use a bong and butane lighter. You have to torch the hole thing, not let it smoke like Alex did, and you have to hold it in your lungs for as long as possible.

First 5-10 minutes? Chewing it? That's not salvia dude.

HAHAHA. I just saw the part where he says clothes are very, very uncomfortable right now, and that is exactly another thing that happens. I definitley remember saying those exact words on salvia once. I don't know about this 10 minute long tripping on salvia stuff though. That definitley doesn't match up with my experiences.

You actually can chew salvia, and apparently if you do, the effects are much longer lasting.

Interesting. Never heard of that.

It would be weird to chew, the way its sold. It is sold in little plastic containers and they are all completely ground up. Not something easily chewed.

[Patr1ck]

There are other videos on there. Most of them are not as long, and they mumble and laugh alot more.

Yeah, I'm not sure if you'd chew it in that state, but I've seen it done by people who somehow got their hands on the plant itself.

Very real right there. After 45 seconds you see him get control of himself.

No dude I've never chewed it and yes my trip lasted like 5 mins and I was just laughing ridiculously and falling off of my seat like you said. And yeah the salvia I had was 20x i think and it looked like tea.

The stuff my friend smoked though was more like little leaves. It wasn't completely ground up but it was still in little shreds and he got fucked up.

[shadowgrin]

Wow. I need to find some of that shite here.

legal and relatively safe

Those are the magic words I need to read.

[cyanide]

My eyes deceive me. I thought this was a thread on saliva.

[Doobie]

Salvia sounds so interesting. I would actually try it, I'm paranoid of smoking weed cause the last time I smoked my face went numb I thought I was dying but I was laughing.

Man, I wish I could have at least once had that kind of experience with pot. Don't get me wrong, I love pot, but probably the most intense thing that's ever happened to me due to pot use was having the giggles for literally 4-5 hours, and that only happened twice when I first started smoking.

...eeh...

Weed's not about being "intense". It's about chilling with your buds, passing around a blunt and talking about all the other times you got high/drunk at a party/had sex with a transexual on accident. The relaxing, the zoning out...that's the essence of bud.

I don't see how a 45-second trip could possibly be fun. Then again, I've never tried it, so I won't judge too much.

That's stretching it a bit BK.

Now that's stretching it too much, BK. (Note I did not use any sequence of letters with the first letter and the one before "U")

So like, original that is.

Someone is asking for a . Are you drunk, BK?

When my life becomes so fucked that I go from one 45 second high to another, I'll know that it's time to commit suicide.
