Weird Biz: Salvia Trips

I've found lots of videotaped Salvia trips on YouTube. Having experienced Salvia myself (3 times) I find these videos quite interesting. But it's important to realize that all you are seeing is the outside. The real action is going on in the person's mind. You can't capture that with a video camera. And really ... you can't convey what happens in a Salvia with words either.

I'm not endorsing the use of Salvia. In fact I would never do it again. I am worried that if I were to do it again I would not return to this world.

But that being said, it is an incredible experience. I had done LSD and mushrooms and various other psychedelics previously. Nothing I had done before had really prepared me for what happens when you take Salvia. An immediate complete disassociation from everything around you. And a complete disassociation from your own personality.

I believe it's like immediately going to some other part of your mind that you don't normally have access to. Psychologically it's incredibly interesting. Although I'm not going to say it brings any answers. I would say it only raises more questions.

It's not a "fun" drug. In fact it can be quite scary. It's intense. If you want to see the other side, to experience a true psychedelic awakening then maybe it's for you. If you aren't a "reader" ... you know if you are just looking to have a good time, then I recommend finding a good time elsewhere.

Important Note: In my experience if you smoke it in a pipe you will get some results. If you smoke it in a bong you'll get a lot of results and you may think you are a domino or you may find yourself floating in the air or perhaps leaning against an imaginary school bus. If you smoke it in a bong and use a butane lighter you might think you are dying.

Another Note: It doesn't matter what music you are listening to. It doesn't matter what you are looking at. You have to understand, you will be somewhere else entirely. The only thing that's important is to make sure you are in a safe place in case you try to get up and move around.

3rd Note: There's different levels of Salvia strength. When you read about 40X or 15X those are extract versions which are much stronger (however many times stronger) than just plain Salvia which isn't that strong.

The Unknown: 40X Salvia

Here's a good example of the kind of guys who probably shouldn't be using Salvia. Also doing it out of a can like that is really lame. I guess if you want to treat it a like a recreational drug that would be the way to do it.
