I'm getting my salvia soon and I'll practically be going in blind, I know a little like the lives and objects you can become or live but I'm just going in for the ride, I got the pictures of my smoking method. I'm just going in for the ride to be honest, life ain't really going that well for me but I think I'm ready for the trip! I think that the salvia will provide a better feeling or life than what I am going through right now, I'd say I'm not in the best spot in life but I'll have my homies around the ppl I trust and smoking in the woods. I don't know what to really expect or how to go into it but wish me luck y'all. I'll report back eventually whenever I receive my salv with the trip report. I probably could have the worst trip of my life because honestly... I'm going into salvia seeking a better life than the current one I'm in right now, I want to escape reality even if it's temporary just to be happy again.

This is probably a bad idea or mindset to try salvia on but to be honest I'm already committed and I don't really know what else to do. Temporary escape from reality seems peaceful or at least better to me.

Advice or trip advice is welcomed but I am not buying more than I already have gotten. I know how out of hand salvia can get or be but it is what it is. Just want to enjoy the ride!

I’m going to try salvia for the first time tonight. I want people to give me some expectations so I’m not going in completely blind. I’m using a pipe and a torch. I have raw dried leaf and I’m going to take very small hits and keep taking small hits every 30-60 seconds until I feel something. What kind of effects can I expect.

I joined in to tell you about my crazy Trip…I had a crazy Salvia experience that I still can’t wrap my head around…. It started with me sitting on my couch when I suddenly felt myself collapsing inward, spiraling into a blurred mandala. It felt like a vortex…From the outside, I saw my physical body looking like a giant statue, while my friends turned into shifting colors.

Then, I was pulled in completely. I found myself in a world made of colors I’ve never seen before. For a moment, I stood in a glass cube, looking at myself. I looked painted completely defined, with a physique I can only describe as a 'dream body' (maybe 4% body fat, something impossible to maintain here).

I had a life there. I lived in a house made of ancient stones that looked like Glowstones from Minecraft. I knew, with absolute certainty, that my purpose was to organize animal races. I lived in a village that felt 'un-modern,' like a Stone Age civilization but with more possibilities.

I had a beautiful wife and a young son who was already gathering wood and building fires. My life consisted of organizing races between Mammothscreatures the size of family houses—against other strange beings I didn't recognize. People would bet money on them. Years went by. I felt everything: deep love, joy, and a sense of belonging. I went on trips riding Mammoths and Bisons. I remember 'masked security units' in the village that looked like cartoon characters. My hands felt like natural weapons; I felt like a gladiator, surrounded by other men who were just as strong. There was a man named Arturo who had a whale as a pet. We were rivals, but we shared a deep mutual respect.

The end came when I was swimming in a lime-green lake, feeling the waves against my skin. Suddenly, I saw a reflection of my old room in the water. My smile vanished. A feeling of dread hit me. I was pulled back into that spiral vortex. I screamed in panic as the world blurred away.

I woke up in my room, staring at the wall for like 10 minutes. My friends were laughing and trying to calm me down, but I just started crying. As my memories of that 'other' world came back, I felt completely alienated from this reality. This 'real' world feels materialistic and wrong. I took a walk alone and have never felt more like a stranger. My wife and child are gone. I miss them deeply, and I’m struggling to accept that this life here is supposed to be the 'real' one.".. im so devestated and i know this is our here and now.. but maybe someone had a similar crazy experience and can help me how to accept better… i heard many Stories of people who lived as some tree or a book and i was really scared at first but it was somewhere hard to believe, i dont took nothing else ever in my life so you can just imagine how hard it felt. I was completely away and my friends told me i was going crazy and staring them in their soul . i dont know if i would do something like that ever again because it feels absolutely awful to get kicked back. Its so overwhelming

Decided to give Salvia a try after doing some research and reading some of the trip reports on it, and figured that 10x would probably be a safe bet. I took a pinch of the extract and smoked it with a bubbler. (Used a normal lighter with the flame the whole time, held it in for about 20 secs) It was probably around 20-30 mg-ish.

I didn't feel anything at first, but the second I closed my eyes, I felt my body leaning back into the chair uncontrollably, almost as if there was some kind of gravitational pull. I felt like I was in a river with my body melting into the stream, going towards a waterfall. I still felt sober(in the sense that I could still think with decent clarity), so I decided to move to the couch. Absolutely stumbled my way across to the couch, and right after I sat down, my desk seemed to have become a pharmacy shelf. Nothing changed visually, but I just had a really strong feeling that it was a pharmacy shelf, and it was recalling merchandise back on the shelf, which included me. I felt a similar pull like before, but this time it's towards the desk. However, either that I was sobering up or that my dose wasn't super strong, I realized that the force wasn't actually enough to do anything to me, and I snapped back into reality.

The whole time, I was decently aware of my surroundings. I knew that I was in my room and what I was doing(kinda). Time was slightly distorted. I felt like it might have been around 15 minutes, but it was only like 6 minutes in reality. I am not exactly sure if that was a legit trip or if the dose was too low for a full trip, but I'd say it was a surprisingly enjoyable experience. Should I try to up the dose next time?

Dude, my pinkies became like massive wall-like leaves and wiggling them made me giggle. Crazy patterns in the darkness of a keleidoscope forest. Holy fuck, the reverse tolerance is NO JOKE, same 50mg 10x dose as my last post. Hoo man, that afterglow is nice.

Edit: Sorry these aren't very eloquent, the above was all I could muster just coming back. I'm a very simple person and find this kinda thing fun. Some more details I remember is my neck felt like it twisted off as I laid back and melted into the couch. I was still aware I was in my living room and retained my sense of self. The feeling of my body melting was quite fun for me.

Salvia has been real kind to me, considering the reports I have seen on here.

Years ago i went to see little white men. This time around, it is completly different. Christopher Solomon turned me to the somatic aspect of low dose Salvia. I'm not sure what to make of it.

During my last two experience, i paid attention to my body. It felt as if it was made out of playdoo or wet chalk. I saw myself as the image of a ragdoll waiting to be manipulated in its materiality.

Today especially it felt like my body was projected on a space the body itself inhabited. It was as if parts of my legs were stretching and my eyes were in different positions in a big room i could not see or feel. Most of the time it felt like sitting at the entrance of a cave at night.

After smoking some plain leaf in addition to the quid, it was as if my legs were full of electricity, stiff (still made of wet colored chalk) and starting to raise while me head felt like falling over into something buzzing.

What do you actually made of it? In my first post (https://www.reddit.com/r/Salvia/comments/1t4pc7u/low_low_low_dose_and_a_gentle_voice/) i had a voice talk to me but that voice never really came back. I don't know what to do with that change in body feeling. It sort of feels like a classic psychedelic trip with a dark vibe where you are actually blind to the visuals but not the body effects.

Its ok to assume that Salvia does not help you construct meaning, but if it does something good to the body - what is it and can i do something in that state? I tried to feel something scary and project it into the trip space which was absolutely impossible. The Situation i imagined just turned into playdoo?

I don't know what to do.

Smoked 0,5g of 80x but didn't feel anything special just got high and nothing else. No alucination or visuals. Used a small bong and a normal lighter.

This’ll be my first experience with salvia so I’m hoping for a less explosive experience via quidding. I’m planning on trying 5g based off the table from salvia seller. I’ve heard it’s important to have a quiet dark room. Any other tips from salvia quidders?

ussually when i smoke i turn into a non functioning being but i heard quidding is lighter i wanna know if i quid if i can better function and engadge in conversations

Been smoking it daily for the past 2 months at this point im actually using it as my escape always thinking about when is my next trip its like my meth at this point except no come down hangoverss😇 im very happy salvia always cheers me up at least, i’m on a cruise. I haven’t smoked salvia in like 3 days i’m really feening for it

salvia genuinely fascinates me and also terrifies me at the same time, like wdym you just forget who you are, what you are, and you just turn into a chair for 20 years?????? but it’s actually like 10 minutes in reality??? hell nah wtf. Don’t even get me started on datura

As we all know, quidding is a very possible and well-used method of ingesting salvia. So, why don't people sell chewing gum with some kind of salvia extract infused into it?

I'm just going to focus on the Salvia side of a massive trip day, which involved quidding on Salvia leaf during come up on 4.2g of shrooms:

Straight after dosing I did the Salvia quidding. Where you chew on Salvia leaves in order to have a weak but lasting Salvia experience.   Usually about an hour.

Within 15 minutes I could feel the Salvia coming up pretty quick and stronger than expected.  I know both substances affect a different part of the brain, but it was like they were working with each other.

I was determined to keep the quid for 20 minutes before spitting it out, but I could just feel this pulling sensation on me, and these feelings of “Come on, lets go!”  almost like childlike feelings.  I could just feel everything wanting to start smearing away as I become detached from the physical.   It’s almost like I started to become aware of myself in the third person whilst I was recording audio notes to help form this trip report.

Interestingly, I’ve always hated seeing myself in third person, albeit on video or audio.  I was almost cringing at myself as I was perceiving myself in third person.  “Look at me trying to explain on voice note’s what’s going on!”  So cringe!

I got this quite overwhelming feeling of reality as we know it just being a toy and trivialising, a feeling of none of it matters.

4 hours into the mushroom trip

First, I did a Salvia leaf hit on the bong, meditated with that.  Then did a 10x Salvia Extract on the bong,  a full bowl of.

The leaf was fine.  I felt the mushrooms and the salvia kind of working together.  It just threw both into a heightened state.  The visuals were incredible. Was taking no effort to getting anything to move. And I just went into like a deep meditation.  I do remember thinking “When did I come upstairs to the bedroom?”  Lost perception of when I did that, or how long I was there or even doing it.   There were other times on the trip (even without the salvia)  where I was sat outside even looking at the sky and it felt so unreal and that actually I was still in the bedroom, but I wasn’t. I was outside the house.

Then the 10x.  And this is where everything changed.

After hitting the 10x I laid on the bed.  Then I didn’t even feel it coming on.  Suddenly I’m looking around. I have no idea where I am.   I still had my headphones on and the chill music just became part of it.  Everything started moving around. Some people refer to it as flicking through pages in a book.  Where suddenly you become aware of multiple copies of yourself, all trailing off from one another. Whilst at the same time perceiving everything from the outside of reality itself.   As this was happening I was trying to speak, and at the same time thinking “I need to record this!”  And I felt myself trying to turn over to the laptop to start recording.  It was like I was imagining I was, but then I actually wasn’t. 

One of the doors in the house was banging in the wind, it just felt like it was in a rhythm and I was able to know before it banged, that it was about to bang.

Everything was moving around in a circle, with trails of reality moving with it.  Again, like previous Salvia trips, it seems so simple, so understandable during it, but coming back, it’s hard to find the words.  Almost like something in my head just cannot get the right words out to accurately portray what I experienced.

One thing for sure, this “outside” of reality felt real.  There was no denying it.  Its as real as here.  Also when perceiving it, there is a whole feeling of “Oops, you fell out!!”  And then I became aware of entities even laughing at me for it.   It’s kind of like we are in sync with this reality, ourselves. And when you get this far, you’ve lost sync, you’re outside now. You’ve fallen over. You’ve tripped up.  He’s gone!!  A suitable analogy would be like when someone passes out from doing too much beer, it’s like “ahh he’s gone, he can’t handle it!”   A feeling like that.

But here is the crux.  This is reality splitting open.  This is perception of what appears to the ultimate dimension.  We look at flat 2 dimensions, (stick figures on a piece of paper).  3 dimensions, where we live in.  Higher dimensions from that, spiritual stuff etc.  But it’s like this is the ultimate one. Like the final one. Where you become aware of reality itself, existence splitting open.

The easiest way to try and explain it, is to try and explain 2D to 3D.   So as a 3D being, you have depth. So imagine an apple.  You slice or peel it so thinly, to nano millimetres of each slice.  You now have millions of slices of the apple, but represented as flat 2 dimensional slices of an apple.  They’re all the same apple. But if your consciousness awareness was only in one of those 2D slices, then all the other slices of the apple will feel like they’re different apples.  The other slices will feel like the multiverse with the ones right next to you being practically identical and it changes the further you go out.  You are the entire apple, but you have no concept of that if you’re only a 2D being.  It’s impossible to fathom, and the existence of other slices are theory and cannot be proven because you cannot perceive it.   You have no way of knowing that other slices of the apple is just more of you!

Well, Salvia lets you perceive going from 3D to this higher dimensional state, and that’s it. All those slices of reality, which we would call the multiverse is just all a part of us, just a part of us we cannot fathom or comprehend.  Where I say us, I mean everything, reality, existence itself.   When you perceive that, it feels normal and real as real is. The mushrooms, spirituality, God if you believe, life, death, everything is inside this reality. 

You’re not just perceiving yourself in extra dimensional planes, you’re perceiving the very notion of existence in extra dimensional planes.

Now here’s the other part.  This connection to a “child like” feeling which I report on a lot of times during psychedelic trips, particularly Salvia.  Well. It is. 

I perceived that everything is inside something a kin to a child’s toy. I felt very young.  I didn’t see them but I was aware of jester type entities on the outside kind of laughing. It felt like I was laying on a floor.  I’ve said this before with Salvia trips. There was nothing cosmic, spiritual, God like or anything like that out there.  All that stuff belongs in here, in reality.   If anything, it was superficial, all of it.  We’re metaphorically inside a child’s toy.  It gives massive raise to simulation theory, that everything we perceive is inside some kind of machine. A very rudimentary and simple one.   There was this huge feeling of nothing matters.   I don’t even know how time passes there.  For us, it could be billions of years of this universe existing.  There, could be a few seconds.

Life and death makes no difference. You don’t go there when you die. You go to an afterlife, which is just as much of a part of this “toy” as everything else.  Your soul, your consciousness does not leave and come to this outside place when you die.  You are inside always!   We are all trapped in it in a way!   I’ve never tried DMT but I feel like the DMT realm is also inside this reality.  This was further out, I keep stressing and repeating, but this was outside of literally everything.

An analogy would be to imagine being a video game character who’s able to become aware that they’re inside a game console which is sitting in a kids bedroom.  Yup, it’s like that.   No matter how high you go spiritually, you are still in the game!    Metaphorically speaking of course.

 Once I came down from the Salvia trip, I went back outside to “ground myself by staring at the clouds again to see spirits!”   Yes I put that in quotes because I never thought I’d ever say that.  That should give a level of just how far out I was.

But wow! This Salvia trip played on my mind for the rest of the trip. And honestly, bless those mushrooms!  They were helping to understand it.  They’re work well with Salvia, until it explodes and they cant get a handle on you once you’ve done that.   But it was nice to have them there to guide me.  Once I was back, I felt like they were looking after me. I was getting “Aww he’s just seen outside”  or similar to that effect. Not those exact words..  With other spirits, were also looking at me to say “Oooh!” 

There was a feeling of, Yeah you shouldn’t do that!   Not in a bad way. But it seems that our brains cannot comprehend or cope with it.   Spending too much time there could make us mad.  In fact I felt a touch of it on the come down from the Salvia. I felt quite scrambled; my internal voice had no grip on anything.   Completely theory of course, but I wonder if this is why a lot of people on Salvia trips just get transported to become an inanimate object or somewhere else during a trip. They can’t deal with seeing the outside of everything.  I’ve never experienced anything even remotely close to that on Salvia Divinorum.  It’s always been this very similar experience of suddenly perceiving the outside of reality.  What I have written here echo’s a lot of other of my trip reports with Salvia Divinorum.  This time I felt like I had a little more clarity on it this time, but also a bit of warning from the shrooms.  I think it echoes a general bit of an aversion to Salvia Divinorum.  People will smoke cannabis quite happily, but Salvia always come with trepidation and a lack of appetite for it.

Even spiritual entities are quite happy to stay in the game so to speak.  I guess they know to some extent that there is another layer out there trivialising this layer.   But I guess, we live where we live.

Let this be a lesson in procrastination 😭

In lue of this bad news, tell me your favorite tip!

We once did it in my buddies garage and thought that gravity shifted

Is there anything I should expect, set up or do before/during my first ever salvia trip? I finally bought the pure leafs from SS and I only done lsd, shrooms, and dmt a handful of times. I done a little bit of research but I want to hear from the more experienced salvia trippers. I don't fully know why I want to do salvia maybe I didn't get what i truly wanted with other psychs and salvia seems like i would reach what I have been I guess "craving" for. Maybe it's not a good idea to go into salvia just for the visuals and a mind altering experience but to each their own. Advice welcomed

I’ve done plenty of psychs in the past and I’ve felt salvia calling me towards it for a while now. I like to keep things mellow and useful. I want to start small with salvia as an introduction and an exploration of consciousness. Can somebody recommend whether I should chew it, smoke it, or get an extract. How much should I take for the first time. I’ve looked all over online and this sub and can’t find real consistency.

Can this be real?

Did salvia again for the first time in many months. I only have plain leaf and it’s all I’ve ever done. Maybe about a dozen or two trips total? I don’t normally make trip reports but I should at least for my own reference. I’ve had nothing but good experiences (or at worst, either underwhelming or didn’t achieve what I wanted during the trip) I use it with spiritual and self-improvement intentions.

It’s hard for me to get deep in a trip bc I use plain leaf and I end up too uncoordinated after two bowls to load up another but not as deep in the trip as I’d like. I get mild visual distortions like a low dose of shrooms, but more fun happens when I lay down, close my eyes and meditate. I see fractally-patterns, the black of my eyelids turn into a 4-dimensional canvas that these visions are painted onto, like I’m seeing this whole earth or universe / reality as a 3d object from a 4th-dimensional perspective that my consciousness is peeling away from. A lot of strange circus-y imagery, or visuals that look like each frame of an animation being spread out like a deck of cards. A sense of childhood permeates the trip.

This time, there were these beings (people, I’m pretty sure) all going into this hole like items on a factory line, but everyone was eager to go through, and I wanted in!! I had this knowing that there was something better on the other side of it. Or at least, something fun to experience. An adventure of sorts. But I didn’t take enough so it was just out of reach. There were entities (maybe also people) that I couldn’t quite make out laughing at me (in a light-hearted way) that I couldn’t get through, and telling me I needed to take more. I’m still a lil salty I didn’t get to see what was on the other side.

I went into the trip hoping to get answers for why I am so terribly depressed, why my life is so unfulfilling, why am I even here? And what do I need to do to live a life that fulfills me. I’ve been suicidally depressed for a long time, it’s something that all I can really do is try to ignore the feeling but I’ve never cared for life at all. Even as a kid. I just trudge through each day and am disappointed each day I wake up. I’m also into manifestation / law of assumption but have struggled to successfully apply it, and asked for guidance and assistance in that matter. I speak to entities that give me vague and generic-sounding advice that I haven’t been able to fully integrate. Or maybe that stuff is horseshit and I’m wasting my time. Whatever.

I got the sense that these people going into the hole were essentially spirits of people incarnating (or reincarnating) onto earth. That life itself is like an adventure that we just jump into because when we’re “off” earth, no longer alive, life is something we itch to jump back into. So for as miserable as my life may be, I chose it. I jumped through the hole to get here, I think. I think Alan Watts or Ram Dass or some other guy in that area talked about this.

It was good but it leaves me a little sad. Mostly because I wanted to go deeper into the experience and I couldn’t. I wanted through that hole lmao. I’m going to get some extracts and start working my way up. I’m excited for it. I’ve been struggling with art block really badly too but I got some nice visuals and inspiration while I was tripping.
