Alright, firstly a quick background to my psychadelic history. I have a solid amount of (legal) experience with hallucinogens and so I felt fairly prepared for my Salvia experience. I had a sitter and used a water pipe for administration. Firstly, I would like to say that I had poor experiences with raw leaf. It tastes DISGUSTING (a fact that I did not see well enough advertised on the internet) and is horrible to take more than 2-3 hits of. That said, I had also purchased some 10x fortified extract with which I did have some solid voyages.

Salvia comes on so fast compared to many other psychadelics that I was unprepared for the immediate intensity of the trip. I took one very solid hit, using a butane lighter and cashing what was approximately (damn faulty scales) 1/6th-1/5th of a gram of the fortified blend, and within about 10-15 seconds of exhaling my hit I was experiencing a potent trip. I felt a loss of ego and self, as well as intense time distortions. On the shroomery scale (which while not entirely compatible, is useful for a comparable experience) I would say I was experiencing a near immediate ~4, which startled me.

My entire world shattered and the room in which I was in divided into tiny horizontal segments. I felt a falling sensation and was not immediately aware of my physical life and existence. I experienced a draw towards the idea of being human, but did not make the connection straightaway that this was because that was my starting point. I tried to grab on to some of these lines, and in reality began to grab and try to hold onto the table in front of me (this is where I was very happy I had a sitter. having someone in control is a definite plus with this drug, as I have not yet introduced someone to it who has not wished to move about at least somewhat), and my sitter began speaking to me in calming tones. This brought me back to reality somewhat, and I moved from my chair to lay down on my bed. At this time about 2.5 'real time' minutes had passed, but I had felt the sensation of several hours of time passing. At this point the experience began to wane, and I regained a lot of control of the trip. I have since tried some later, less intense trips and felt myself much more relaxed.

I was very happy with the outcome of my journeys with this substance so far, and I look forward to the future.
