Forums - General - Have you smoked Salvia?

     Earlier today while browsing the website disinfo.com, I came upon an article talking about something I'd never heard of before as has often been the case when I've browsed Disinfo over the last decade or so.  There is apparently a legal psychadellic substance called Salvia which causes strong hallucinogenic experiences and has gained a great amount of popularity in recent months on Youtube with videos featuring either people's actual experiences taking this substance or their discussion of the effects of taking this substance which have generated upwards of 500,000 views for videos on Yoututbe.  This attention that Salvia has been generating on Youtube is causing government agencies to take a look at possibily making this substance illegal.

    I've never taken a hallucinogen in my life.  I will admit that hearing descriptions of the use of DMT on the old Infinity Factory program on Pseudo.com and Terrance Mckenna's lectures about that substance did make me curious to know if a person really could go to some kind of alien dome and speak to beings from another dimension back in the day, yet I never had any real world experience with that kind of thing.

 

     So I was just wondering has anyone out there had any experience with Salvia and does it really make you feel as if you are going on a journey to another world as these Youtube videos attest?

My friends call me Hadoken because I'm down-right fierce

Yeah, I had the worst experience of my life on it. It was literally like going to hell and back. The shit I saw would have put some people in an insane asylum. I thought I might have stabbed someone during the whole experience. Words cannot describe how absolutely terrified I was. I had no major after effects from it, but I was really shaken up. Most people would have needed some kind of therapy. 

My heart was beating probably at 200 beats a minute and I was drenched in sweat after it finally started wearing off.  I broke down a fence too.  I was crawling around in my friend's backyard (and I was apparently crawling backwards faster than someone can run, don't know how I did that).  I was frantically digging in her yard too for a little bit.

The first time I tried it, it did absolutely nothing. And then I tried a much stronger dose. Bad idea. Whatever though, no permanent injuries. I can't say I enjoyed it at all, but I don't really regret it because nothing (permanently) bad happened.

But most of my other friends who have tried it didn't have as bad of experiences. One guy I know had a seizure on it though, and he isn't prone to seizures.  Salvia is not a joke.  Start out on the week stuff if you do try it.  It can be a very enlightening experience though.

I would recommend doing LSD before salvia. Just don't take too much LSD your first time. Its something you gotta work up to.

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Way weirder shit than that can happen, but that is pretty weird.  My trip was way definitely weirder than that.

I also heard DMT is stronger than salvia.  The potency of salvia is actually one of the highest of any hallucinogen known to man, but the thing is it doesn't last for more than 10 minutes.  That 10 minutes can last for two years in some people's mind though...and I am not joking.

LSD sucks, fuck that shit. If salvia is like lsd i do not want to try it. Its illegal in australia



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

It's stronger than mushrooms or LSD, but it only lasts about 15 minutes. It can be a dissociative that makes you lose all sense of self, and you have no concept of time, space, or ego, and you just hallucinate colors and shapes and emotions. It can also make you hallucinate journeys to other dimensions or make you think your bed is a time machine. It's legal, it's cheap, and so far all research points to it not only being safe, but having some beneficial properties, like being able to turn off the desire signal for crack addicts.

LSD is less potent than salvia from my experience, although LSD lasts about 30 times longer.

I remember lsd. "just lie there and don't do anything"

Ok, hopefully I don't sound extremely stupid with this question but....are you talking about the plant Salvia? the plant you can buy at any nursery or Home Depot?
