Well tonight was a Monday, I had been working all week and the weekend so I get a shift bonus and three days off. I decided to buy Silvia Divinorum for the first time today and didn’t try it out till later on.

My brother suggested to me that he was going out for a couple of drinks down the pub, I agreed saying that I would come as well seeing as I had not much, or even anything to do for the next few days.

We had an incredibly difficult time getting into anywhere, apparently it was student night and if I didn’t have student ID they “couldn’t help me”. Being extremely disappointed after visiting three nightclubs and being turned away we decided to go to the last place that would be open… “Alberry’s” a quite cramped, expensive, wine-bar type place.

When in here we ordered several jugs of Alabama Slammer, which had various spirits mixed in and filled with orange juice, the last Alabama Slammer ordered was requested to have extra spirits in and cost in the region of £18 ($35).

While in Alberry’s I had the pleasure of meeting a pleasant girl and we had a couple of discussions that night, the last of which I asked for her number and she said there was not much point because she was going back home soon and was finishing her university course here, to which I said was fair enough and went off in a separate direction.

On the way home my brother and a couple of friends decided to get food from the Kebab place, me giving up smoking (I haven’t smoked in over 42 hours) and being on Dietary supplement pills decided not to indulge in any unnecessary food.

We got a taxi home and on arrival they were eating their kebab food while I decided to roll a neat little doobie out of this Salvia Divinorum. I went downstairs and suggested smoking this, my brother objected and decided to go to bed, while me and our friend went outside and smoked it.

It was rather smooth and light tasting, it wasn’t harsh and didn’t make us cough. Bearing in mind that our friend doesn’t smoke this is quite interesting. We smoked this down to the roach and went inside, we decided we weren’t feeling quite normal and decided to smoke more…

After about four or five of these, I can’t exactly remember, but we basically ended up finishing a gram of 5x strength Salvia Divinorum between us, we went and sat down in the living room where we discussed an intriguing drinks lid and how many different dimensions and variables were involved.

After this we began to discuss a piece of paper ripped out of a small notepad and how the contact weren’t cylindrical, they were in fact other shapes that could not be logically identified.

Shortly after we were having an introspective outlook on our lives, from when we were born to the present, I asked him to formulate as many significant images relating to this as he could, he came up with three. With these three images I requested that he formulate a single shape, he received the familiar shape of the camel. With the images I also requested that he relate some words to these images, he came up with aggression, hesitance and ignorance.

I requested that he give me descriptions for the parts that signified the basic/essential functions of the shape of the camel, he came up with humps for storing water, feet for creating a larger surface area for the small particles of sand and a thick coat to handle the various climate changes.

I won’t go into much detail, however we linked the three words related to the images with the three functions of the shape of the camel.

In conclusion I deduced that none of our thought processes are our own, every single thought process that we encounter is learned from an external source. Every single thing we learn is either visually perceived, physically or retained from something someone else has told us.

This effectively means that none of us are individuals, yet some of us try so hard to be individuals by maybe wearing black lipstick and gothic clothing, at the end of the day we are a product of a product, of a product, of a product. Anything obtained genetically is from a mother and father, anything obtained genetically from my mother or father was obtained via their mother and father and so on.

WE ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES, WE ARE NOT SPECIAL, WE ARE NOT GENIUSES, WE ARE WHATEVER WE WERE MANUFACTURED TO BE…

A trip on Salvia Divinorum.
