Thread: suggestion on salvia??

I don't know if somebody posted a thread about this since I'm basically new here and its such a hassle to read all old threads here... sooo

By the way... I want to ask you guys something.. for those of you who have tried using salvia, is it good? because I was so curious and I bought a 10x gram at this salvia divinorum online store, but I still didn't use it yet because I still need opinions about this. My friends never heard of it nobody sells it here, so I need help guys! thanks!!!!!

You should not have bought it untill you knew exactly what it was you were dealing with. The stuff will twist your insides and can fuck you up BIG TIME. Whatever you know right now about reality, throw it out because what you will see you are not prepared for. DON'T GET DMT (youtube joe rogan and dmt), atleast not untill you REALLY research it. Salvia, and DMT are not drugs...they will warp the f out of your reality.

I've never taken it myself but i've heard SO BLOODY MUCH about this stuff.

oh wow... really?? well then i guess i'll give it to somebody as a present then... hahah na seriously, i'll throw it or something... but dayum it was so expensive when i bought it

I don't know why anyone would want to touch this stuff, it's just plain weird and far too mind-bendy for my liking lol.

I suppose in real small doses it could be used as a spiritual tool for journeying and the like but apart from that I can't see the use in it.

If you're looking for a good trip then mushrooms are far superior (not that I'm advocating their use or anything).

Feel free to advocate, society will one day realize that our evolution...


Or at least society has been shaped far and long by hallucinogens.

Please see Dithyramb!

A witch?

He does make a good point though. Do your research before you inhale it.

The Erowid Salvia FAQ

Read this.

Salvia Experiences

They also host a large number of trip reports, if you want to get an idea of what it may be like.


You have 10x extract, so be very careful.

Erowid dosage information

You should be using half the dosages recommended for 5x, or less.


Personally, I've tried it, 0.2g of 5x extract. Very litte effect, so I am unsure whether I messed up the procedure, or am simply unusually resistant. Good luck.

Don't throw it out, just do your research and take very small doses because this is your first time. Also, if you take it make this your number 1 priority. Have a buddy with you who is not going to take this. You DON'T wanna be walking or anything while you're on this trip, make sure he makes you stay sitting on a chair or a couch and doesn't let you move from that spot because you are not seeing what is really there, and who knows what can happen if you go walking around on this. Stay sitting in a chair, it's a must for your safety.

I tried it as well, and got very little effect. Out of four of us, the only one who really felt it was a friend of mine, and all she did was laugh a whole lot for no reason. I honestly just felt like I'd smoked a lot of weed and even that lasted for only 15 minutes or so.

I have done it a handful of times, there is a few things you should know.

It's an extremely powerful drug, but it can be very interesting sometimes. As for smoking it, you have to do a few things:

-Use a butane mini-torch lighter. The active chemicals in salvia require a very hot temperature inorder to be vaporized. A regular bic lighter can do the trick, but it's not nearly as effective as using a mini-torch.
-Hold the flame on it the entire time! As said before, it needs to be burned at a high temperature, so you need to hold the flame. I recommend you use a water bong or else it could be quite harsh on the throat
-Hold the smoke in for 30 seconds! This can be key to a successful salvia trip.

Something else you should be aware is it's reverse tolerance. It's not like other drugs. Normally the more you take drugs, the more you need to get high and you develope tolerance over time. Salvia is the opposite. The more salvia you do, the LESS you will need and the more powerful it will get. Also you won't normally trip out from it until you do it a good 3 times.

Salvia is a wonderful herb though. It's very safe too as long as you are careful. Really the only potential problems they can find with it is that smoking anything is bad.. but I mean you take 1-2 hits and thats all so not very much smoke is even entering the lungs.

Cool very interesting... that explains why the first 4 times didn't do ANYTHING AT ALL to me.. only sweating and the weird come on feeling. The fifth time, I closed my eyes, lay on bed, and was pulled in a dream, that was pretty cool, but not very strong still. Eventho I kinda totally forgot about myself and it felt like I was in another country, in another place, when my sis came into my room to tell me dinner was ready, I was pulled out of the dream right away and all effects were gone! After this I kinda gave up on it because I don't like how it's actually hard to feel the effects, but now that I know about the reverse tolerance I'm sure going to try it out again and again ^^ thx for sharing!

Hi,
I have only recently gotten aquainted with salvia. I have used the liquid extract form.
It is certainly not for the fainthearted.

A couple of things to bear in mind should you even want to try.

It is likely that on the first occassion Salvia will test you. This might be beyond intense!

Second thing is that it has the ability to reveal aspects of the future. How this manifests is really quite peculiar. It would take many many words to describe.
I have found myself enacting visionary/hallucinatory aspects of things to come. This is important to bear in mind afterwards should your mind ever settle down enough to draw rational conclusions.

give it to me!

I give salvia

For me it's a bit like weed and 'shrooms together. However, I have only used the unfortified leaves, so I can't speak to the effects of the concentrated stuff.

If you get the plain leaves it's best to chew them - 20 to 30 minutes without swallowing (stomach acids nutralize the active ingredients) - then spit it all out. This prolongs the experience quite a bit; from maybe 10 minutes if you smoke it to more than an hour if you chew it. Chewing is the traditional method used by the indigenous peoples of Mexico who starting using it in the first place.

However you use it just be sure to get settled and comfortable first. Use the bathroom, get a glass of water, put on good music (mellow is much better than banger here), let the dog out, then relax and enjoy.

[Disclaimer: if salvia is illegal in your state ignore all of the above.]

Theres a reason why the only people who are interested in salvia are the ones that haven't tried it yet.

Just curious- what do you think that reason is?

I enjoyed my experiences with salvia enough that I bought two plants. It's definitely a drug you need to approach with respect and a calm, clear mind. It's not a party drug by any stretch of the imagination. Get yourself in a place you feel safe and relaxed, find a friend you trust completely to babysit you, clear your mind of stress and tense and let salvia take you on a wild ride. The best thing about her is, even if you don't like where she's taken you, she'll have you back to lucid and sober within the hour :-)

always thank the salvia

the three time i've smoked salvia, it made me fall flat to the ground like someone was putting me under their boot or if gravity was reversed, and i just couldn't get up. it was fun for sure, but it was only a small dose. i was looking to take more, but wanted a better way to take salvia, and then i read on here about chewing. thanks nemo, that should work much better.

Otherworldly, astonishing, alien...

For me it was as intense as death, being on the other side, and then re-birth. World, with you in it, is literally (and I mean LITERALLY) blown away.

But it has some strange stillness. Some conforming. Like mother, like womb. To those she likes. A long, healthy relationship can be forged. She showed me things. I understood. Samsara, Karma, Life, Reality.

I never want to take it. I never like to take it. I like her. I see no possible way of addicting to it. It never hurt anyone I know but few people had horrific experiences and stay away from it forever.

Films and some tracks are so good that I almost get flashbacks.

Oh, and she likes good people. She can help you meet someone you know. An Angel or Guardian. Someone you never saw but you know he is watching over you.

The Voyage (I would never call it a trip) is weird. So weird. Yet, so familiar. Like caroon, like life itself. Ego dissolves. Body dissolves. Memory dissolves. Space-time dissolves. Reality case to exist. Consciousness remains. Learn.

Meditative stillness follows. Take adventage of your mindset and think about things that give you hard time. Salvia makes your whole life so irrevelant yet so meaningful. Learn. Great tool if you are ready to recive the message. Bizzare and useless for those that don't get it.
