First time
by Nick
First time I had Salvia was last night, with a good friend at her house, just us…
We had a glass bong and the first 2 hits just tasted bad!! I really thought I couldn’t hold in the smoke because of the taste, but then it had no effect so I tried some more, and still nothing. Then, the third time, after re-filling the cone, it didn’t taste bad at all so I think that the stuff on top must have dried out or been old or something…?
Anyway, I had a decent toke and held it in and exhaled, and I’m sure I started feeling something as I did that, but the next thing I knew I had handed her the bong and turned around to face her, and I literally felt both sides of my brain buzz with this huge tingle, and then suddenly I felt as if I was lying down, and couldn’t figure out why the fence we were facing was made of marshmallow. Then I would realize that my friend was still there, and look at her and she was smiling at me, asking me how I was feeling….
After that it felt like it went on forever, and half of my face started feeling numb, like I was paralyzed and couldn’t speak or say anything, and I kept forgetting I was there with my friend, and that’s when I started to not feel so good and wanted it to be over! She was really good though and kept talking to me and reassuring me (being a very good sitter, we’ve both done it for each other lots of times before). Then eventually after standing up and drinking some water, talking about some “familiar” things and listening to some “familiar” music, I started to come back down but not really - I’d still suddenly be unfocused and thinking about how I can probably never talk again and just feeling a bit desperate to feel sober again.
Eventually it was faded enough for me to talk normally and my body did a huge tingle all over, and I broke out into a sweat, and then after 2 minutes it was all back to normal, except I still couldn’t make a lot of sense when speaking! My friend then had a turn and she really enjoyed it and didn’t freak out at all, which I’m very glad for! I found it a bit strange that we both had such different reactions. I think it might have been because I had such a huge toke and it hit me like a train, I think that’s why I started feeling uneasy and couldn’t focus on the good feeling.
I don’t know if I’d ever use it again, and my friend said she doesn’t think she will, even though she enjoyed the trip she said she did feel a bit paranoid and anxious afterwards. I think it’s the most “out of control” I’ve ever felt on any kind of drugs. We still had a great night once it had worn off and we were just left with that buzz that remains for a few hours. :)
