I would like to share my experiences, as well as the experiences of my close friends with everyone who wishes to read, especially those who are researching to prepare for their first time. Please note that I have well experienced the reaches of good and bad rides with Salvia extract, and have been a trusted sitter for both experienced users and first-timers. These are my own experiences, and my good friends' experiences. Names are changed so as to remain anonymous.


Experience 1: The Cheshire Cat (As told by 'Bob')

'Bob' is 5'10', weighs around 190 lbs. Salvia divinium extract of a 10x strength was used. Approximately 1/8 gram was consumed, using a basic water pipe and normal lighter, not butane.

The dose was prepared into the pipe bowl, packed nice and tightly. No loud ambient noises were present, and dim lighting was used. Three moderate hits were taken, and held much like one would hold a good hit from marijuana. Upon exhalation, the journey began. As told by Bob: 'I was sitting on the couch. I look at my legs, and all of a sudden they stretch to the corner of the wall, which is somehow moving further away as well. I then look at what I perceive to be my arms, which have turned to red bricks at this point. Once I freaked a little, I realized I had to pee. I went, pretty normal. Walking out of the bathroom, it hit hard. The kitchen floor oozed upwards to take form of what looked like the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. It spoke to me, saying that I was going to burn the house down. I ran to the bedroom, to see multiple shapes having a war on the wall. They yelled, screamed, and fought to the death.'


Experience 2: Presence of God (As told by 'Chris')

PLEASE NOTE: I WAS NOT A SITTER FOR THIS EXPERIENCE. Chris is 5'8', around 170 lbs. Took 1/8 gram, smoked from pipe with butane lighter. Held for an extended period. 'When I exhaled, everything turned into what appeared to be a glass elevator. It seemed like different realities kept flying around me, and I kept climing up and up through these different realities. I finally got to what seemed like the last reality, and when I arrived there, I felt the presence of another being. I felt the most fear I've ever felt there, everything was animalistic and completely primal. It was like I felt God shunning me for being there, so I left...in a hurry, man. I started falling down these different realities, until I saw the people I knew. I saw them, but I didn't think it was them at all. I went to run out the door, and they stopped me. After that, I just coasted down from it. I still felt the fear the gripped me there, and I'll never forget it.'


Experience 3: President Bush, Spawn, and myself.

This was my first experience personally. I'm 5'10', weigh roughly 195 lbs. I used 1/8 gram from a makeshift pipe and regular lighter. I sat on my couch in low lighting, put some headphones on, and just listened to some relaxing jungle beats. I took four good hits before it completely cashed out. Chris was sitting in the kitchen, to make sure I was good. I closed my eyes, and all I can recall seeing is what looked like a purple downward spiral. It stopped in random places with the beats to the music. When the music shifted beats a little, it stopped, and there was a voice of a woman telling me that my purpose was met. I opened my eyes, and everything looked pretty normal. I realized at this point that I could feel the air, and it was like snow or sand...I could move it, pack it down, use it how I wanted. I made a chair out of it, and Chris just started asking what the hell I was doing. I walked to the kitchen, sat down at the table, and picked up a U.S. News Weekly with Bush on the cover. He moved his mouth, it just sounded like the teacher from Charlie Brown. I freaked and threw it on the floor, where it just sank. I looked up at my Spawn action figure, and he was just glaring at me, like he had malicious intent. After that, it just went away. It felt very similar to coming off of a good hit of nitrous.


Experience 4: Salvia, nitrous, and Scarface.

This is another experience of my own. This time, some friends and I had been doing some nitrous beforehand. We were watching Scarface, all the lights out. I once again used a makeshift pipe, only this time I decided to use about 1/5 gram. I remember taking a huge rip off of it, then about 3 or 4 smaller ones. Again, I tried to cash it out. Chris just kept telling me to hold it in, and I remember my head falling back on the couch and just staring at the ceiling. I exhaled, and I have no recollection of anything. Everything just went away, complete silence. Nothing existed for what seemed to me like years. I thought I was dead. I snapped out, opening my eyes to Chris laughing, and everybody else just looking at me with what seemed like fear. I looked at a statue in the movie, and it just came at me, like a warrior on a path of destruction. Everything kept appearing to melt away. All of a sudden, it was gone. Apparently, I was freaking out and speaking tongues during the period of which I thought was death. Still not sure what to think of that one.


Experience 5: The first time and last time (As told by 'Dave')

Dave is a small guy. 5'6', maybe 5'7', weighs around 155. He's pretty well-versed with drug use, especially hallucinogens. He'd heard plenty about Salvia, but never had the chance. I had around 1/2 gram of 20x left, so I offered to help him out. I told him about my experiences, and the experiences of others. We had drank enough beer to just be relaxed, mildly buzzed. I loaded 1/4 gram into a pipe, and we used a normal lighter. He took 4 small hits from it to get a feel for it. Then he just went all out. He took the rest down in one hit, and just held it. He just chilled out for a second, I could tell it got him. He stood up, and leaned against the wall. The millisecond his fingers touched it, he looked at me, and his eyes just went ballistic. He fell down, face first on the floor. His eyes were still wide open, and he was breathing so hard he was lifting himself up with his chest. I honestly thought he was in trouble, maybe going into convulsions. I let it take its course after he started to calm down. His eyes closed after a minute or two, and then tried to stand up. I tried to guide him to the bed, so he could sit down. Every time he would sit down, he would grip my shirt with massive force. It was like trying to save someone from drowning. He got back up, fell back over, and then I finally got him to chill out on the bed. I realized at this point there was a wet spot on the floor, and his shorts were soaked. Dave had pissed himself. I flipped out. I'd never seen anyone trip that hard from anything in my entire life, not even large doses of LSD.

Here is what Dave recollects: ' I remember standing up, and everything just started to spin. It was like I was the earth, spinning in the universe. I started to see what I thought were different dimensions of space, time, and matter. I tried to stop myself by leaning on the wall. After that, I fell into another dimension. It looked like something straight out of a twisted Alice in Wonderland or Willy Wonka setting. There were gnomes and shit, and a woman that was made out of flowers. She started talking to me, saying, 'We're so glad you finally made it, we've been expecting you.' I freaked out. I thought that I had died, and gone to the other side. I tried to leave, and they wouldn't let me. I got upset, and just pissed on them (this is the point where he obviously pissed himself). I was climbing through reality, trying to get back to earth. Everything just kept slipping, and I couldn't hold on (this is what I interpret as his 'drowning', where he kept clutching me in violent grips of terror). I saw your face man, and I knew that's where I had to go. All of a sudden, everything just snapped back to reality. I felt really buzzed, like I'd done a ton of nitrous or something. I felt terrified after that, and for about 30 mintues, just didn't feel comfortable. I'll never do it again, EVER.'

He changed, and then I took my 1/2 gram. I blacked out again. I looked at a large Japanese fan Dave had above his headboard. It had a tiger on it. It just looked at me and growled when I regained my sense of perception. I looked up at the ceiling fan, and it was like the head of Medusa. A cartoon face with snakes just emerging and hissing at me. I thought I was frozen in time, and it was like I was sinking into the ground. I though I was buried alive. I felt nothing, just cold and darkness. I chewed on the blanket on the bed, just trying to even comprehend where I was and if I was really there. I turned to look back up at the ceiling, and everything was dark. I wondered where the lights on the fan were, and all of a sudden it was like the eye of God just rushed at me and consumed me. After that, it was done. I had the same feeling as Dave, completely disrupted and uncomfortable for about 30 minutes.


I think as of now I'm going to just invest in 5 gram bags of 10x. 20x is definitely way too intense for recreational use. I've done meditations with 10x, and it's just mellow and relaxing. Good for maybe after a long day at work, after a hot shower before bed.

Based on my experiences and the experiences of those around me, this wonderful substance will take me to places I cannot even reach in my dreams, or it will take me to the darkest corners of alternate realities, where fear and death consume me. I've heard of crazy illusions, like traveling the universe and finding God. I await the day that I can experience a truly intense experience such as that. Many people say that alcohol will negate any effect of Salvia, but 'Dave' and I obviously found that to not be true.
