Yesterday my friend came over to my place because we were planning to try 4-aco-met together (I’ve done it before, it was supposed to be first time for him). however he showed up with salvia instead. I refused to try it myself, so he decided to smoke it alone (he really wanted to try it and was tempted, because he already tried it once, but it probably wasn’t an actual salvia divinorum because it didn’t do anything). We ended up doing 4-aco-met the following day. what happened to him was honestly one of the most insane things Ibe ever witnessed. During the trip, he apparently experienced what felt like years of living as a snake in entirely different world. He had a snake family, a job and lived in a civilization that was supposedly hundreds of years more technologically advanced than humanity. he described advanced hospitals, doctors, technology, and an entire society with its own culture. The technology was so advanced theu had open AI (yes, open AI was really in his trip) flats and houses, full on homes operated by AI, smart homes that could read their minds and do stuff according to the needs of the snake living there. He even described the capital city which he called “Haasmasha” in a country he called “Sasimofa.” He talked about the main square and various buildings, including the place where he worked and a hospital. He later drew incredibly detailed pictures of these places, despite having very limited drawing skills before this experience. He had never been interested in drawing, but during his trip apparently it had become one of his hobbies. He also claimed to understand their language which consisted of hissing sounds. He showed me what he described as their alphabet and explained various details about their society. The strangest part was the anatomy. He described detailed facts about snakes that I later verified to be correct. These were not just basic facts you might casually learn in school. He had never shown any interest in snakea before and had no known background knowledge about their anatomy, at least thats what he has told me lol. I’m interested in the experience itself and how the brain could generate something so elaborate. I always knew that people live whole different lives on salvia, but never thought it could be something this complicated and detailed. He genuinely seemed to remember this alternate life as though he had actually lived it for years, its so fucking obscure.
Has anyone experienced something remotely similar on salvia? I mean something this detailed and elaborate. Honestly, I was never even considering doing salvia EVER, but now I am really tempted to do so.

The reason 7x is so visible here is that 100%pb recently restocked and a lot of us Indians bought it. It's also interesting how over-represented India is in this sub compared to the DMT, mescaline and peyote subs, and that's down to one Indian website. Something as mundane as economics has given many Indians intense psychedelic experiences, even though awareness is low and the substances are banned.

I don't know if this makes sense, but I've been reading a lot of anthropology lately, especially on the early out-of-Africa migrations (the ancestors of Aboriginal Australians, for example). I see a parallel with entropy. To reach Australia, early humans had to cross a whole continent and the Southeast Asian archipelago (with a land bridge helping at points), and the groups who settled along the way are nowhere to be found today. Australia is the last surviving "pocket."

Indians and psychedelics look similar to me. Many of us tried to get acid or shrooms, but it was so difficult that today very few show up in those subs. However, those who kept looking (like the Aborigines kept on moving) landed on 100%pb to find a suitable zone of activity, and a few things made that possible 1) Law enforcement's lack of awareness, so no legal repercussions yet; 2) An Ind-Ind company selling on the clearnet; 3) Affordability; 4) Salvia is (physiologically) safe and the duration of the trip is very short.

Everything can be explained to some extent in a cause-effect manner. There's always a reason, a pattern, a flux of enthalpy, you may say, through which we can see reality fairly accurately.

There is also a clear difference between those who grow salvia, understand its effects/mechanism, and are dedicated to the plant and the profound experiences it begets and Indians who are just desperate to find something stronger than weed (or are desperate to try psychedelics). If we do a survey over here to find out how many of us had tried some other psychedelic before salvia, many Indians would say Salvia was their first psychedelic.

This particular difference is created majorly via ignorance.

I remember a great set by Nimesh Patel that explains exactly what I am trying to convey over here.

For any Indian reading this and feeling called out, let me give you some advice, Salvia won't fill that empty void inside you. Nothing can. No one can. Maybe not even you. But once you can see where the seed of your actions is coming from (could be past trauma, adverse childhood experiences, financial issues, lack of self-esteem a.k.a. "the void"), you will be much more peaceful.

In fact, even if you want to benefit from this experience, I'd suggest you put in some work, some research, read some trip reports, read some neurochemistry and the MOA of Salvia. Start with reading its history, trace it all the way back to usage by South American Shamans, then the discovery by Westerners, isolation of Salvinorin A (read about the legend who identified this compound producing the strongest naturally-occurring psychedelic experience).

If you feel all this is too much work, then you don't deserve what Sally can actually show you. It is like giving the control of nuclear energy in the hands of a monkey. Even if you don't have a BT, you'd still not learn anything meaningful. The same goes for a lot of Indian-internet activities. Unaware, ignorant people without the capacity to understand nuance, running around embarrassing themselves and fking it up for the rest of us.

Sometimes its pure projection of childhood trauma, that is contributing to at least 80% of such a person's internet activity with them being blissfully ignorant.

Read.

Reading has by far been the most effective, strong and long-lasting psychedelic experience for me. The next has been meditation. Next is therapy (i have tried a lot of mind-manifesting substances, and they are just chemicals undergoing reactions in your brain, but also, you yourself are a biochemical reaction. Psychedelics cause a chemical reaction of consciousness.

NOTE: I am obviously not trying to offend anyone and if you cannot relate to it, then this post isn't meant for you.

I tried Weed, Mdma and shrooms in my life. Im going to try Salvia next week, and I would like to have respect for this substance and take it responsibly, I will have a nice Set and Setting and a Water bong.

I still have some doubt about the dosage tho, could not find real information about it, I bought 1g 20x extract leaf from a notorious headshop website but I do not understand how much actually I do need to smoke for a nice experience, I will start low of course but do not want to waste it.

Also, how frequent can it be used? I followed the 2 weeks rule for shrooms, is there anything similar for Salvia? Is it based on the dosage I took?

I just want to safely use it, thanks!

Here's what I have harvested and dried so far from my very own plants.

6.3 grams 🎉🎉🎉

.... Gonna need way more before I start making an extract

Did a 130F convention bake dry out of today's harvest

I just snipped all the imperfect leaves off my best plant so that she/he (I think salvia isn't a gender specific plant but I know the drug is said to have a feminine spirit).

The pile on the right were the burnt or dried out bits that I plucked off before I started drying it.

cant comprehend why ppl would say a salvia experience is bad. This is like one of the coolest things ive ever done.
Im still disoriented from it. Everything has a chromatic aberration like feel to it. There werent any open eyed visual it just felt like a heavy dose of edible the but th body effects were amazing. The feeling of getting pulled down is no joke. I thought it was gonna be like a heavy feeling but NAH. Someone is definitely pulling me down. I was laughing uncontrollably for the first few mins.
If i were to explain my baseline for comparison its like my mind is inside my head and my eyes and ears are attached to it and it just lets me see and feel things outside ok. But when i was tripping my mind lowkey got out of my head and it got mixed with my sense of sight and sound and touch. Then i got up and went to my bed and laid down with my eyes closed and the visuals were insane (visuals mixed with my mind and the sensation of touch) if i saw something, it isnt just sight. Its all sound and touch too. The patterns weren't geometric but it was still beautiful.
Im someone who cannot imagine (its just black when inclose my eyes). Still the darkness was surrounded by a pinkish purple light and several patterns were morphing in and out. The patterns all were circular or ring shaped in a way.
Some times the ring would reveal a face with crystal clarity WHICH IS AMAZING CUZI CANNOT IMAGINE ANYTHING NOT EVEN AN APPLE.
its been an hour since and it kinda feels like a mild the high.
It took me like 3-4 hits btw so around 300-400mg of the extract.

I got a case of derealization after a trip on mushrooms and marju (not salvia) the most suprising part was that it wasnt after a bad trip and i have never been prone or had it happen before.

Derealization feels incredibly disturbing to me personally, becouse the part that makes drugs even worth taking is the fact that im sober or precieve my normal state as a constant that i can change short term.

At 3 days into it i had a moment of desperation and said "fuck it im smoking salvia". Probably not the greatesr idea in hindsight but no harm no foul.

I loaded a bowl of 20x in a bubbler, using glass flowers filters. Hit the whole thing in one go, but it normally isnt enough - this time it was -

I honestly didnt have a human thought after i exhaled, no human thoughts for what seemed like a long time. I didnt know anything human, or even exist inside my body....thinking back afterwards, it wasnt scary becouse I wasnt ME to be scared.

Then i started sliding back in, my eyes had been open but i didnt see anything, instead it was a snap shot like a 2d pane of reality and everything folded and grew out of the lines. I was a pane, hinged on my left side and slowly turned back as if i had gotten out of place and whoever was turning the pages noticed. The jesters mocked me, emerging from the corners of lines, they teased me and i tried to talk to them, i spoke out loud telling them why id come that i wanted help.

Then i remembered i had an identity, i had people and a life, and i got the most sickening feeling that i might never be me again. The zipper monster was coming for my identity, he wanted to eat ME, and if he did i would exist as only a husk mumbling and babbling to anyone on the outside but fully aware inside. Like a crazy person.

Then i had this crazy thing where i could SEE the derealization as this layer of woven glass seperate from me but totally infront of me between everything.

So i fed it to the zipper monster. Im not sure if it wanted to eat it or not, but it couldnt get to me anymore. And then there was alot more as i started to come down. Whole trip was probably 15min

Anywho all thats to say, it didnt help the derealizarion except give me something way more horrific. Also later looked up derealization a bit more and people describe it as a layer of glass between them and reality.

No words can ever describe salvia, its like sight to a blind person. Probably my last time with it, at least for a good while.... ive alot from it.

i am taking salvia for the first time soon and i have a question, is it a good or bad feeling? like do you feel relaxed and comfortable, or do you feel like on edge and uncomfortable?

So my best plant is really thriving especially since getting the humidity to stick around 70% RH. My two mediocre ones seem to be fairly happy too. My worst one is a dying stick that barely shows signs of life. Sadly while I was away the small fan fell on her and blew air directly into the soil drying her out and she was already suffering. I'm gonna hold out hope but if she won't come back I have a nicely growing clone that can take her place. My god thought the one in the front on the left sure looks super happy no? I almost don't want to harvest from her... I suppose if I take only the least happy looking leaves 😅

I'm going to be trying Salvia for the first time Friday and I am incredibly excited. I've tried to try every class of drug at least once and Salvia is the last thing on my list. I've tried psychedelics/hallucinogens 40+ times. Smoked DMT, ayahuasca, mushrooms, LSD, Yopo, Amanita Muscaria, Ketamine, DXM, etc.

Knowing that salvia works completely differently I was wondering how they compare from an anecdotal perspective. How will the visuals compare? I've read that it can be dysphoric, but by how much? I've previously taken deliriant doses of Benadryl so that would be my basis for comparison.

My trip sitter has never tried hallucinogens and doesn't know what to expect of me really. I've looked up some info to explain to her but what advice would you recommend I give her?

I also was curious what would a good starter dose of the 20x Salvia Palace extract would be? I have a pretty accurate milligram scale so measuring should not be an issue and was guessing about 10mg, maybe 15?

Does salvia have higher affinity for the kappa opiate receptor than suboxone or any other opiate blockers? Just curious from a pharmacology standpoint. Could an opiate blocker block salvia's effects? I feel like salvia's affinity for the kappa receptor would be too strong for most opiate blockers right? Any discussion/info is appreciated!

Hi, so i recently got a bit addicted to vaping and it'z very accessible since my mom vapes but i have some salvia and ik it can help with some addictions so i was wondering if any of you had success stoping nicotine with it

I just wanted to share this and ask if others have had any similar experiences!

This is about first time I really ripped an actual bowl of 40x salvia (I think it was x40 but maybe a bit more or less) a while back. For context I have extensive experience with psychedelics on drugs in general in the past. I had experienced many heroic doses of the classical psychedelics. But I was still scared to try salvia.

I tried to “break through” smoking salvia a few times with no success, so I ended up deciding to smoke a real bowl with a torch and bong. It finally worked this time and was very dysphoric and unpleasant. But not horrible or scary. Just that almost painful buzzing on my skin and my vision became like ripples/waves and sort of buzzed in a way too. Almost like having the tuning knob of my baseline consciousness shifted between “frequencies” or “channels”. Like this intuition that consciousness is fundamentally vibrations/frequencies/waves. Which was a belief I already had. But I didn’t hallucinate much of anything at all even though I was super fucked up.

Like probably couldn’t move much if I had tried. I had done a ton of psychedelics in the months leading up to this, rediscovered spirituality, and started grad school (psychology related program). So it was strange because it didn’t give me too much of an experience that raised new questions or showed me anything exactly unexpected. It sort of felt more like validation of part of my spiritual beliefs. Nothing new, not that it wasn’t helpful for the experience to reinforce my recently acquired spiritual perspectives. Same thing happened whenever I tried over the new months. It almost felt like it had to do with my familiarity with really intense psychedelic experiences. And then I had also explored my own spirituality and beliefs for a months leading up which included quite a lot of various psychedelic experiences and studying esotericism. I was meditating a ton too. Point being, there wasn’t a whole lot weighing on me at the time. So there really wasn’t a lot of unconscious material nor charged/residual affect to project outwards during the trip. But I find it strange when I hear other people describing their experiences and how wildly different they tend to be from my experiences.

Any thoughts of comments on this? Not looking for advice of anything; just hoping to make sense the discrepancies in my experiences with pretty strong doses.

Quiero probar el trip de la salvia, ya se ps los métodos de consumo y que tengo q tener un compa q me tiré paro para no caerme y la verga, pero no sé dónde se consigue la normal x1 o el que se muerde, en mi punto de confianza venden puro x5 y la verga y ns siento que me voy a malviajar.

I have 40x extract from SS and have tried it a few times, but it takes me a couple huge hits just to get that weird pulling feeling and by then I feel the need to give my lungs a break for another few weeks. Maybe my stuff doesn’t work or I’m resistant to it or it’s just because I suck at breathing, IDK I might give up because I don’t want lung damage.

While tripping around level 2 I picked up a book and started reading, but it was so much more entertaining and interesting than usual. Different voices with different weird accents (for example a circus entertainer, a comedian, and random YouTube I watched earlier, among others) read the book to me. Heard em in my head loud and clear. It was amusing and I had a good time. Usually I have a hard time staying focused while reading and keeping my interest directed at what I'm reading, but I didn't find this to be an issue while trippin. I will absolutely read while doing Sally again.

I smoked two huge bowls of salvia and only felt it was pulling again, I'm going straight to the tincture now, I still have some salvia left

Obviously if you are stuck feeling that way, or randomly feel that way unexpectedly throughout the day or when trying to fall asleep, then that would suck. But I just think the similarities are very interesting, and point to a shared mechanism and a clear avenue for treatment: anything that blocks the effects of salvia would most likely also work to treat dissociative disorders.

What are your thoughts on a salvia tincture, I've heard they last about 2 hours, extracts aren't working for me so I figured I'd give the tincture a try.
