Firstly this experience took place on a mountain which the aboriginal Saanich and Songhees people call PKOLS, "meaning "White Head" in SENĆOŦEN dialect. This mountain is a culturally significant gathering and meeting place for the SENĆOŦEN and Lekwungen people, a site for ceremonies and sharing of important news." [from Wikipedia]

3:45(PM) The air was cool, the humidity was high, yet the sun was still shining. My dear friend and I had decided to take advantage of such a picturesque November evening, deciding to go for a stroll in the woods. Both my friend and myself are very much familiar with this area, and felt comfortable going late in the evening as the sun was setting. Navigating in the forest at night can be challenging at times, yet due to our past experience here this did not deter us from climbing to the peak. Prior to our arrival at the base I had ingested approximately 2.5 grams of Green Hulu Kratom, as we began to set off into the woods the familiar sensations of Kratom began to take hold. As we strolled further into the woods towards our selected destination and viewpoint, the urge to communicate with my dear friend strengthened as the effects of Kratom began to take hold. There was a light mist in the trees, and as we climbed higher through a small gulley engulfed in ferns the full bodily sensations of kratom had taken ma hold.

4:30 As we reached our viewpoint the sun had just begun to dip behind the sooke hills. As we gazed westward the sun begun to cast intense pink pigments on to the mountains to our south west. To our northwest the islands darkened and and a fine fog loomed around the shorelines of the various islands and islets. At this point with the wind gently beating upon my face and the sun setting fully behind the hills, I felt grounded and somewhat connected to the land under my feet. At this point I decided to employ a variety of spiritual herbs in an attempt to further and deepen my experience.

4:50 Once setting on this decision to indulge, I walked alongside my dear friend for roughly 20 meters back into the woods. We then took a seat on a large arbutus tree with a large horizontally protruding branch. Once seated I began to load my pipe first with a layer of around 0.1g of Cannabis sativa, I then added a fair amount of a 5x Salvia and 20x Kratom mixture. I torched the bowl thoroughly and took roughly 2-3 large tokes. I held each hit for maybe 10-15 seconds before exhaling.

5:00 It is now dark. The first sensation occur maybe 30 seconds after the exhalation of the first hit, a strong electric sensation overcame my body which I attribute to the orally ingested Kratom synergising with the smoked 20x Kratom. This sensation was not all too foreign to me, It felt very much like a strong kratom dosage and physically I felt very good. At first the Kratom sensations were very much distracting from any salvia sensations, yet as I settled into my new frame of consciousness the salvia became very much apparent. Although the salvia being now apparent I felt very relaxed, I then began to converse with my dear friend, words came out slow yet every word I uttered had much thought behind it. I was not scattered in any sense I felt calm, content and thoughtful.

5:03 At this point we decided we would continue our stroll down the mountain deeper into the woods, it was very dark at this point and due to some mild rock climbing being necessary to descend we took things slowly. I felt a deep connection with the forest, mild Archetypal salvia visions played with me in the darkness that surrounded us. Soon after descending into the woods I felt a mild sense of fear due to the unknown of what was in there. At this point I felt slightly panicked, but due to my moderate experience with these substances and my dear friend’s reassurance I calmed relatively quickly and began to take deep breaths. I then experienced a strong sensation of breathing in unison with the trees and regained a deep sense of connectivity to the nature around me.

5:30 At this point the salvia had largely simmered out, and the mild sensations of kratom and a pleasantly light stoning due to the cannabis was all that remained. I had a strong sense of self worth at this point, and I reflected much on myself as we wandered towards home, for the majority in silence.

6:00 At this point I gained a strong urge to improve myself in a multitude of areas, and I had realized new inspiration, motivation, and ambition to create art.

Now reflecting on this experience It has positively impacted my mental state in the sense that I have been more motivated to participate in healthy and productive activities. Going into this experience I was in a good state of mind and I felt ready to indulge in this combination of substances. I have experienced some level of “afterglow” and am happy with my decision to partake in this experience.
