DOSE:
2 hits smoked Salvia divinorum (extract - 5x)
BODY WEIGHT: 120 lb
Well, I got tired of wondering about what this would be like so I blew $50.00 on 2 grams of 5x Salvia. I'm not an experienced drug user and If I were able to be one I wouldn't be using salvia. The first time I tried it was with a water pipe sitting in my garage. It took a little practice to get the smoke down right. It's neither great nor completely unpleasant and took a few attempts to get much of a reaction.

Each time I got a little a more in me I noticed my mouth get very watery so much that it was necessary to spit. I never had a full blown trip the first time but got a very funny feeling. I felt very strong force grab me and drag me backwards a few seconds. When I stopped I was far back inside myself sort of detached from the world. It was as if I was sitting in a large cardboard box looking out two eye holes at the world. I could not tell which was which, but the holes were either too small or I was too far from them. This probably lasted only 30 seconds. As I would come back to normal their was a very strong force inside my face that would push certain ways on the middle of the inside of my head. Both the dragging and the pushing in my head were very goofy feeling, if I turned my head in certain ways it was for lack of a better word pleasant.

The next experiences I'm writing about are more of a collage. All the info is accurate it just may be in the wrong order. It's pretty much a slur as I'm writing this up to a year in retrospect. Once again I fired up my trusty water pipe and sucked hit #1 down held for 25 seconds then breathed. I felt nothing and sucked down hit #2 less then 5 seconds later. What happened next is pretty common of my experiences, I remembered nothing!

I remember now needing to breathe really bad. I had no concept of what breathing was and I'm quite tickled that my body took care of that and breathed for me. It was like I was having an argument inside me. I had a notion that I was holding my breath for a special reason and should not be letting it out but could not imagine what for. Eventually my need for air won out and I promptly forgot about the intense struggle that had just been so important to the part of me on each side of the debate.

I never thought I'd smoked anything. Hell I didn't know what smoke was or what I was. I had no concept of what life was or that I was alive. I could make no distinction between myself and the ground, rocks, wind, or 'other'. The feeling was such an intense lostness I don't think words can describe it. I got feelings of not being born yet, having already died, running with scissors and semi-pleasant drowning / swimming sensation.

The unborn and dead feelings were kind of peaceful and spooky.

What freaked me was how familiar it seemed: ooh yeah I remember this! (Like maybe from the womb?) I also sensed that I'd been shown that this life and world was the biggest damn joke there was. I was let down when I finally remembered that I was just another piece of shit human and would soon return to it. It was kind of like on the Wizard of Oz where everyone is obsessed with the wizard. They think he's the shit and it's this big glorious thing then all of a sudden the curtain is wretched back and they can see that it's just a pathetic old man pushing buttons! Very weird!
