First off I want to remind you that Salvia is completely legal, so I can't get in trouble for talking about this.  I tried Salvia for the first time today. I actually took 5 Salvia journies in total today, but four of them were alone, and one was with a person. The first one I completely filled the bowl, and then almost immediately I felt like my eyes needed to close and like by moving I was interrupting some divine course this trip was supposed to take. And then the trip part lasted like 5 minutes. My muscles tightened up a bit and I started sweating and all the colors around me became very vibrant. Light stayed with me if I closed my eyes, and I went into a brilliant rush. Then I burst out laughing. It came so quickly, and the rush was so intense, but then the afterglow left me with a feeling of extreme dysphoria. I became incredibly aware of how sweaty I had become, and my shirt stuck to me, and I was very uncomfortable and had an unbelievable urge to take off my clothes and get in front of an AC vent or something, but my friend was there. I went into a panic, and for some reason I had this feeling that I would never go back to normal, and it was just terrifying. I just kept telling myself I'd never do it again, I'd never do it again. But then I chilled out and everything was fine. I bought some from my friend in case I wanted to try it again. I had this feeling that if I had been alone, the trip would have been much more enjoyable.  And later on I mustered up the balls to try it again when I was alone. I got into bed, took off all my clothes, didn't put nearly as much in the bowl, and then took the hit and closed my eyes on the bed. The rush was intense, but I was calmer this time. After the initial shock of the rush, I just chilled and enjoyed the experience. I was aware that I was sweating, but I didn't have any clothes to stick to me uncomfortably. The second time I did it was...enlightening. The third time I did it I really had to take a shit. I wondered what a shit would feel like during a salvia trip, so I took a hit and then squeezed. That was the second most intense rush next to the first one where I burst out laughing. and again it left me with a pleasant afterglow. All I can recommend if you're going to try salvia is that you be comfortable. Make sure you're not too hot. Lie down someplace comfortble, because the first time I was in uncomfortable clothes lying on my uncomfortable couch and it was bad. Remember that you will eventually come down. No matter how much it feels like it will never end, it will. It'll only last 5 minutes or so, but it'll feel like an eternity. Once you know exactly how it feels to go up and come down, and have some familiarity with the feeling, it's really personal, spiritual, and enlightening. I'm not religious, but I'm telling you, after trying salvia, there is definitely some higher state of existence. It's not like...God spiritual. You just become aware that there's something inside of you that's unique and completely metaphysical, and that's you. Your consciousness is like a separate entity from your physical being. I can't really explain it too well. All in all, the experience can't really be described because it can't be compared to anything you would otherwise experience. That's all I have to say on the matter.

      Salvia is a legal hallucinogen whose main effect (the trip) lasts about 5 minutes, and whose aftereffect lasts about 20 if smoked. If chewed or brewed into tea, the trip lasts 10 to 20 minutes and the afterglow can last another hour and a half. It's completely legal and can be bought at some head shops. Some states have tried to make it illegal, and I know New Jersey lost the vote to illegalize it (that's where I live), but I'm not positive about other states. I AM positive that only a few states, if any at all, have put any restrictions on its legality.

    Yeah I've done it also.  I did it with two other people, one of them acted very strange and said he didn't hallucinate, the other giggled alot.  I HALLUCINATED, but all good things.  It was like everthing was different, and since then I really think I saw another dimension not usually visible.  But I don't want to do it again, it's very intense.  I heard tribes in mexico used it for spiritual reasons and I know people that keep a journal of every trip they've taken. I highly recommend trying it at least once. Maybe just once, it was a strange and great experience.  Great blog.

      Last night I had the most ridiculously hallucinogenic salvia trip I’ve ever had. 21x is powerful stuff, don’t take it lightly. I swear, I was up and walking around in 3 dimensions, and really weird [censored] kept happening, but I kept being told to just allow it to happen, and I would understand it at the end, but I really started to panic when I couldn’t figure it out. I also remember something about watching the sets of British TV shows being destroyed in 19th century Britain, which makes no sense because there was no TV at that time. And there were little people whose faces were the color black and looked like bird beaks and they were marching through britain’s streets. And the little quickcapture thing on my computer (I was taking a video of it with my web cam) made me freak out because I thought there was another room in my computer. When I got back to my room, I didn’t recognize it, and was like “Where the [censored] am I?” because I had purposefully pulled myself out of the trip and felt like the trip now didn’t know where I was and was trying to pull me back in because it needed me to be there...if that makes any sense. Have you ever seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, where everything looks real and then it just breaks apart into unreality, and the main guy is trying to get away from the memory eraser people in his mind, and they’re chasing him? It was exactly like that, my mind probably borrowed the theme of the trip from that movie. Anyway, when I had come down enough to see my room again, it confused the [censored] out of me, so I got up and was like “What the [censored] is going ON?” and walked around, but could barely keep myself up. I looked at my desk and saw the vial of salvia and the bong and exclaimed in relief “OHHHHH. I took the Salvia!” I watched the video I took of me tripping. The entire thing lasted 4 minutes and 30 seconds, but I swear I felt like I was away for hours.
