Salvia divinorum

(extract - 5x)

BODY WEIGHT:

64 kg

Set: Very calm state of mind, excitement
Setting: Sitting on a large bed, two friends being present
Previous experience: Three LSD trips, cannabis

Generally, due to neurodivergence, I react very sensitive to basically everything, especially LSD, but apparently also Salvia.

The trip can be broken down in three phases: Phase I - I don't remember anything; Phase II - From what my friends told me what I did, I can conclude what I was experiencing; Phase III - Being fully aware of myself again

T0:00 I was listening to meditation music, sat down on the bed and did some last breathing exercises. A friend hold the bong to my mouth and lit the extract. I hold the smoke for about 30 seconds, which was only a bit unpleasant (nothing compared to cannabis through the bong). When I started inhaling the second hit, I already saw the wardrobe at the other side of the room melting smoothly away.

From here Phase I started (where I don't remember anything). So the following is what my friends told me afterwards: As the friend took the bong away I said "Take me away too". From there on I started laughing hysterically, mumbling words and moving across the bed. Apparently I also looked at the wall, said something "looks like piss" and laughed about it a lot (for the record: the wall is yellow). At some point I started screaming "Help! Help!". Also I started wiggling a lot around and nearly fell from the bed - luckily my friends stopped me.

T0:05 Here Phase II starts. I didn't know I was tripping at that point and the hallucinations were too strong to recognize much. In brackets is what I probably did in reality (from what my friends told me): The first thing I remember is crawling on the ground. I looked around and loved what I saw, although my vision was heavily impaired, because there were a lot of geometrics. I moved towards a window and looked out into the darkness. The environment was split into large cubes. I was so intrigued that I wanted to go out of the window (I leaned a bit over the frame) - luckily there was something deep inside of me that didn't want me to, also my friends stopped me. In that moment I felt a bit like a child that needs to be protected, but doesn't want to.

The next thing I remember I was a zipper in a child TV show that reminded me of the German show Die Sendung mit der Maus. This show does not involve anything similar. I have no idea why I became a zipper. The moderators of the show (= my friends) slowly closed the zipper (= they walked besides the bed while I was crawling over the bed) until there was some kind of barrier (= wall of the room). I felt some panic at first, especially as I saw the barrier coming nearer, because I didn't want to be closed, but at some point I accepted my fate that I was a zipper and that my mind couldn't leave my body. This acceptance wasn't a peaceful and happy or spiritual experience, but rather the only option.

During that I also had conversations with the moderators that I don't remember and some intense geometries.From the beginning until here I listened to calm music the whole time, which I don't remember at all.

T0:10 At some point it felt like waking up, entering Phase III (remembering everything). I suddenly became aware of myself again and was totally confused that I didn't sit where I was sitting at the beginning. I hated what happened and gave my best to stay in the present and not go back. I took of my headphones and started talking about what happened with my friends. Everything was still wiggly and I just wanted it to stop. Luckily my friends could calm me down so that I started enjoying it again. Especially after I realized that the peak is over and I won't be captured as a zipper again, I turned on some other music, closed my eyes and just enjoyed the visuals.

I became a rider in the vast plains of N. America, turned into a horse, a seal and many other forms, but returned to being a rider. However I had some 'flashbacks' to being a zipper. Interestingly the 'flashbacks' contained a lot of infinite geometries that I didn't experience originally. The music was a bit of less beautiful than usual, but it helped me being aware of myself and not getting lost again.

T0:30 At this moment I was already feeling nearly normal again, just a few closed-eyed visuals.

T1:00 Completely normal again.

I didn't experience any after-glow effects. The trip didn't have any negative effects so far (4 day afterwards) and I don't regret the trip. However next time I will take less, at least to the point where I hopefully don't experience amnesia.
