First time

An Exclusively Dramatic & Euphoric Experience

Summary: My first experience with Salvia was the most intense feeling I had ever felt in my entire life. It was like a combination of the peak points of LSD, Ecstasy and Marijuana wrapped into a 5-10 minute exclusive trip -- super intensified.

The Environment: I decided to try Salvia one sunny afternoon in a nearby park deep into a wooded area. I was with a good friend of mine who also tried it for the first time with me, however he didn't achieve the level of effect that I had. Thankfully he was very supportive during my trip because I would have been lost if he wasn't there. My personal words of advice: Do not attempt to try Salvia alone.

How I Achieved The Effect : Well, I packed my bong with a pinch full of Purple Sticky Salvia (60mg) and took a deep breathe, lit the bong and inhaled this thick smoke that formed within it for about 10 seconds. I kept it in my lungs for at least 15 seconds maybe 20, and then exhaled. I attempted to take another hit, but I coughed after smelling its horrible scent. From that exact moment I entered La-La Land. The oncoming of the effects were literally instantaneous.

The Level of the Effect : According to the SALVIA Rating Scale, the level of effect I achieved from Salvia would lie at Level 5 (Immaterial Existence)

Here is a description of this level: Level - 5 "I" stands for IMMATERIAL existence. At this level one may no longer be aware of having a body. Consciousness remains and some thought processes are still lucid, but one becomes completely involved in inner experience and looses all contact with consensual reality. Individuality may be lost; one experiences merging with God, mind, universal consciousness or bizarre fusions with other objects - real or imagined ( e.g. experiences such as merging with a wall or piece of furniture). At this level it is impossible to function in consensual reality, but unfortunately some people do not remain still but move around in this befuddled state. For this reason a sitter is essential to ensure the safety of someone voyaging to these deep levels. To the person experiencing this, the phenomenon may be terrifying or exceedingly pleasant; but to an outside observer the individual may appear confused or disoriented.

My Personal Experience: (My body felt like it was sliced into even pieces about an inch in width making approximately 15 or so slices. My arms we still "normal" and I was able to use my arms mentally with my mind to piece myself back together... like a jigsaw puzzle. I had to mentally move my arms to grab the pieces of my body off the ground and put them back on to me. I was fearful during the process because I had never experienced anything this intense before. There was no blood or anything, just crystal clean sliced pieces of me waiting to be attached back to my body. The entire process was frightening and in slow motion. It felt like it took forever for me to piece myself together in my mind when in reality it was only like 5 minutes. From what my friend told me, I was not moving around too much mainly just standing/sitting there.

After I finally got myself together, I asked my friend to take my hands and hold them. This was so that I could make sure I was really there – all together and alive. With the reassurance that I was back together, I was feeling very euphoric and peaceful with myself for a few moments. Then, I just couldn't stop talking about what I experienced for the next hour. It was a life changing experience that gave me a better understanding of my inner self.

Afterwards: After the main effects wore off and I was coherent enough, I decided to go to a local bar and have 2 beers while thinking about the entire experience I had just had. Again, something I will never forget and glad I had the chance to experience Salvia. Would I do it again? Hell ya! Though, next time I will at least be first hand educated on what to expect, therefore I should have more control over the trip I have, making it even a better experience as the fear should be subtracted from the equation.
