My friends (A and D) decided to come spend a week at my house to come and visit me since I moved away (about 6hours driving) from where I used to live, and it was their March break. We decided to try something special, a substance we had never tried before. I must admit that I don't have any real drug experiences; I have tried weed, alcohol and cigarettes, but never tried salvia.

Me and my friend D decided to go at the local shop in town to check out a few bongs, then the idea came to my mind, we should do salvia! I never tried it and neither did my friend A, but D had experienced it before so we (me and A) both told him that he would control our dosage.

It was around 1:00am, me and my two friends set-up my room accordingly. Turned off all the nights and light two candles on. The shadows played a very big part of the trip, in a good way. So my two friends smoked first, and I smoked last. I don't know how much my friend (D) put it in the bowl, but it wasn't too much because I wanted to get a 'feel of it'. So I hit the bong, keep the smoke it until I really can't keep it in anymore, then I just lay down on my bed. Right away, I notice the shadows seem to take life on their own, like every movement of the candles just drew up another image. And then the inevitable happened, I started laughing my ass off uncontrollably for 5minutes, or so my friends said. When I came back to my senses and I asked my friends how long was I laughing for, because I was well aware of the fact that I was laughing uncontrollably but couldn't do anything about it, I couldn't believe I was laughing like that for that long, reality and time just seemed like they didn’t exists, it was amazing. 10minutes or so after the trip was over, I felt completely sober.

The next day, everyone at my house was gone except for me and my friends, and this time, I must admit that I had a real trip. My friend told me he doubled the dose which I had the night before, which was fine with me because I wanted to 'break through'. So I hit the bong, keep the smoke inside me for about 30secondes until my friend told me to breath out because I could've went longer(lol)... Anyways, the effects started right away this time, before I went to lie down on my bed, everything in my room was spinning and blurring out. Then I lay back on my bed and stared at the ceiling and the wall, no real open eyes visuals happened but then the salvia took over my mind and my soul. It felt like someone (well it was a lady, she had long curly hair, all I could see was a black silhouette of her, the whole setting appeared in black silhouettes) it felt like she just took my soul away from me, she wanted me to follow her somewhere, I was fighting back not to let go because I didn’t want to go there. I could actually see the energy glowing around me to “get back” to my body. I must say that this was the most unique experience I have ever had. I really don't know what else I could to try to explain this experience; it was truly one of a kind.

I have never under-estimated the power of this drug, and so far it has been good to me in it's own way, it is a drug that I respect, but it is so mysterious at the same time. Overall, I was pretty pleased with it, some people don't enjoy it, but I found it very interesting, very out of this world.
