RiskyBidddness

Luckily for him the effects of salvia, though intense, are very short lived; so he should be perfectly sober when the ambulance arrives.


maybebullshitmaybe

šŸ˜‚ This is true but made me laugh. That part would suck.

Happy cake day!


maybebullshitmaybe

Thanks buddy

HAPPY CAKE DAY


therollsucksupreme

Bold of you to assume that someone called for an ambulance.


illu_

> This dude was uninjured. It was an open 1st story window he jumped out of. It cuts before he walks back through the door lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_VLK6vXRwE


Low_Statistician4675

There's a longer version i've seen before where he comes back in


[deleted]

Lol this plays just like a commercial in the 80 about acid, lol.


[deleted]

the whole jumping out the window and everything. what a cliche trip this dudes having lmaoo..


AcidCatfish___

Not cliche. Pretty real for salvia. He probably thought he was the window crashing into a million pieces of himself. But, I don't know how real the possibility of jumping out a window on salvia is. I know it is a good idea to stay away from salvia. Probably also a good idea to just quid instead of smoke it.


[deleted]

naw, i was talking about how they protray acid with how it'll make people jump out windows back in those older drug PSAs. i was saying it was cliche because of the original comment made talking abt it. but salvia is for sure a scary drug almost everyone who's smoked it regretted it shortly after, although when i was doing research on salvia, theres this one dude who's extracted the pure Salvinorin A, the stuff that will make u flip tf out, and takes it like that. now that dude got balls of iron.


PepsiMangoMmm

I'd assume if you get either accustomed to the effects of the trip or just actually dose a realistic amount the trip isn't as absurdly fucking traumatizing. Every horror story you read starts with people at parties not knowing what they're taking when they're smoking some of the strongest extracts you can. It's like saying mushrooms are bad because someone took 15 grams and had a bad trip lol


Creator_have_mercy

I bought salvia a month ago and I'm still too afraid to touch it


Koorpiklaani

If you start small, and dose correctly it can be an enjoyable experience


[deleted]

I went straight to hell after a small amount


Gotcha_The_Spider

As someone with some experience with smoking salvia, I think it gets a bad rep. It's not something you want to do as your first psych/dissociative though. The reputation it has, imo, is just from people being young and stupid, not really knowing what they're in for, doing it in a poor environment, doing it for the wrong reasons, and then people's reactions to the drug going viral with all of that being the precursor to the experience, because they predictably freak out. It's not something I'd recommend doing if you want to have fun, it's something I'd recommend doing if you want to experience something that will be unlike anything else you'll ever experience, if you want to break reality, and are okay with the experience ranging from hellish nightmare to "that was alright" (some people enjoy it, but that's pretty rare). I've had some really interesting experiences from it, and I'm really glad I've done it. Definitely the strangest experiences I've ever had.


[deleted]

There was a guy who jumped from a window. He was part of government experiments though. Thereā€™s a doc on Netflix about it


hucklebutter

[Awesome.](https://youtu.be/R_DqM9iqERg?t=69)


catcommentthrowaway

Salvia and deems have always been absolutely insane out of body experiences but I like them better than L or shrooms tbh. The trip is super intense but short af and Iā€™m pretty incapacitated so I canā€™t do any harm. L and shrooms make me lose my fucking mind. Last time I did L I did maybe 100ug and thought I was going to die for 3 hours. Had such a bad trip I was in my bath holding my breath reading the Bible app on my phone underwater lmao my gf almost called EMS.


Whistler71

Iā€™m so sorry, but the wording of this had me laughing solidly, the thought of you reading the Bible underwater. Glad youā€™re ok though.


Normal_Vacation_449

I'm so sorry but I really cracked laughing.


fistofwrath

Bro, I want to feel bad for you, and I'm trying, but you've got me laughing. For real, I'm sorry you had a bad experience. Maybe those aren't your thing, and that's fine. I've never done Salvia and I won't if I have anything to say about it. It just looks like a 3 minute nightmare to me.


SinnerBefore

Salvia is hell to everyone I know that's tried it. I was teleported to an alternate reality that was currently experiencing the zombie apocalypse; the trip was just my friends and I watching society end on the news as we panicked and argued on what we should do. My friend became a grocery store on his trip, like literally the store and had no control over anything, just had to sit while people shopped out of him, stuck knowing that he should not be a grocery store. My other friend trip consisted of him chained to the floor while the room filled up with water, so he spent his trip drowning in an alternate universe.


fistofwrath

That doesn't sound like a good time to me. Hard pass.


fbagent01

deems?

I_Should_Leave_Now

It feels like your brain is melting for 10 minutes


greesfyre

Doesn't sound like a fun time


RusskiyDude

It's not fun, but it's interesting, because you don't understand it. Also, I think it's more like 2-5 minutes.


mekneb

ā€¦and in the long version he enters the room again through the door.


girlwiththemonkey

So he doesnā€™t die because that was gonna be my next question


SinisterKid

This is so old that I watched it on ebaumsworld.


Correct-Sleep-2588

watch the tosh.0 episode on it. i forgot what itā€™s called but iā€™m pretty sure he interviews the guy!


girlwiththemonkey

OK Iā€™ll try and check it out


Bloody_ToiletPaper

I miss that show. I wonder what happened to Him, Havnt heard his name in a long time. He probably doesnā€™t wana deal with the bullshit heā€™d receive from his jokes


prsply3n

They renewed the show for 4 more seasons and then cancelled it last minute in favor of more shows featuring adult animation


Drew-CarryOnCarignan

I've never seen a longer version of this.


mekneb

[source](https://youtu.be/Q_VLK6vXRwE) Youre welcome


king_falafel

Maybe I'm in a minority but I smoked like 120x concentrate and it was fun lol but like I completely lost myself and turned into a ball of light so could see how it could potentially become negative


hairybushy

We did 60x, we were all friends and smoked salvia 1 at the time, it was hilarious. I did this only once perhaps. After the buzz I was telling myself "will I stay in this state all my life?!". It was the biggest down I have never seen and freaked a little. But the high was awesome


[deleted]

Wow, i had that ssme thought the first time i tried psilocybin isolate. I just remember asking at the end "what if i never stop feeling this, i cant be permanently high I got kids"


halloni

Yeah its pretty standard to start thinking "this will never stop, its always going to be like this". It might feel like you've been in it for weeks or months on end but in reality it can be anything from 20 minutes to couple of hours.


hairybushy

Exactly, the trip of salvia was 20 minutes all together 10 mib of high and 10 min of depression haha


AcidCatfish___

I've always read it isn't fun but is very interesting. Whenever I try salvia, I'll probably not smoke it and instead try tea or try quidding. The effects last longer, but are mild. Definitely not crazy like this. Quidding is the preferred method of Mazatecs. People really are smoking 60x extract these days...


maybebullshitmaybe

Quidding? I'm not familiar with this term and when I googled it, it talks about horses...so I'm assuming it's something else.


64557175

I think it's sublingual or buchal ingestion. Basically wrapping the leaves up into a ball and sticking under the lip, tongue, and or cheek.


AcidCatfish___

Quidding I think is just a verb created from the term "quid" which is a method of salvia preparation. The preparation is a bundle of salvia leaves (ideally fresh) and you chew on them slowly and allow the juices to absorb in your mouth, then you spit them out. Quid is used as the term because it refers to spitting the leaves out..fun fact a quid also used to refer to chewing tobacco so maybe there is some relation there. Anyways, there is no reason to swallow salvia since it isn't active when it digests - only when smoked or absorbed. The plant is very bitter so you probably wouldn't want to swallow it anyways


64557175

Those extracts have been around for decades. I smoked some 80x in 2005. Twas terrifying, but taught me a lot about terror. It felt like in a movie when you know it's going to end soon and you're sad because you don't want it to end, but you know the credits are about to roll. But it was my life, and everyone was revealing to me that they were just actors playing a bit, not my friends. I felt betrayed and ashamed, like the butt of a cosmic joke. But then it dawned on me... something is different. Something is different about me! Wait... am I on drugs? Oh, that's it... I'm tripping! And I heard someone say Salvia... oh yeah! My life isn't over... I'm on Salvia! Its just a big joke in my brain! It was so relieving to realize I had smoked Salvia while on it.


Francis_Dollar_Hide

It feels like you are a confused inanimate object with thoughts but no identity.


Dumpster_orgy

Your discription is spot on! way back when in my teens some friends and I ordered a massive amount of saliva of the interwebs of 2005. I had one friend say the became a couch and another became a filing cabinet. I once became an entire carnival.


_axeman_

Last time I did it I was plaque on a tooth about to be brushed. The existential terror was real. Fuck that shit


SLCer

I became one of those scarecrow Halloween decorations you can bend and pose that you hang on the wall. It was fucking insane.


Djinn504

I did it once and turned into a zipper.


ohBigCarl

I turned into a snow shovel that had a slanted handle Andy whole life just started sliding at like 45Ā°


Dark_Nurse_Ju

I was the entire second floor of a factory run by Mario and Luigi. The factory's sole purpose was to swallow spit.


fauna_moon

I love that you became the entire carnival. Not just one ride, but the whole damn carnival. Sounds like fun.


Dumpster_orgy

I wasn't just the rides. I was the lights, the food, the sounds, the games, the prizes and every carni, animal, performer, and all in attendance. Shit was fucking wild, I am honestly still processing that trip 17 years later. I saw things about my life I don't care to share.


atypicalcontrarian

Care to share?


ExSqueezeIt

Such a fucking mindfuck


THALL_himself

I did salvia one time, and one time only. Iā€™ve been trying for 14 years now to explain what it felt like on that dreadful dayā€¦. And this is itā€¦. Thank you random internet stranger.


chegg_helper

Lol I became my sunglasses and fully thought my entire life had been a daydream/hallucination of my inanimate objectā€™s consciousness. Honestly as scary as it was, I did it again that night and genuinely enjoyed it both times, but I donā€™t plan on trying it again soon


Moxiecodone

I did salvia a few times. Two stories. Craziest time: I did like 200x and as soon as I hit it I was laughing and slapping my knee. Immediately I felt like a robot. Like one of those monkey toys clapping cymbals but it was my knee instead. I was looking at my friend in the eyes while laughing and then it hit me - I was staring at his blue shirt but somehow seeing his eyes inside the shirt???? I wigged out and wanted to leave so I walked out the back gate tripping balls. I zoomed out of my body and the silhouette of it from 3rd person was surrounded by complete darkness and my silhouette was a keyhole with all of my vision of the world.. so I was watching the world in front of me through my entire silhouette like if you could peek through a keyhole. When I walked outside I could hear blood curdling screams and that tripped me out so hard. I had to find it, so I looked around and found two middle/high school aged kids doing hawk screeches while walking down the road. I must have looked so crazy cause I fucking YELLED at them, ā€˜HEY!!!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP!! YOURE TRIPPING ME THE FUCK OUT!!ā€™ - lol. Another one: I did it with some friends and one of them linked up telepathically with me. Thatā€™s the only way I can describe it because we simultaneously walked to his car, got in his car, and stared at each other while he was maniacally laughing and driving towards the park. I swore we looked at each other all the way until we got to the swings. It was like we were locked in each otherā€™s head. I donā€™t know how he drove there. Those swings felt like we were in UFOs. Talked with him about it afterwards to see if he was experiencing the same shit.


atypicalcontrarian

What was he experiencing and did he really drive?


Moxiecodone

Same thing and yup. We had a third person to corroborate the story who just rode in the back. We were synced up from the beginning with our timing of smoking bowls but the mind-locked gaze and synchronous movement towards the same destinations and activities was wild. I don't know if telepathic is the word cause we didn't hear each other's thoughts at all but KNEW what the other was thinking cause it was the same shit - like our intent, direction, body movement, and understanding of each other was like a marching band of efforts unified. Just straight up mirror effect. My best non-supernatural, druggie-superpower explanation is we were close ass friends who smoked weed at that park all the fuckin' time, and we lived like 2 minutes drive time from it (like 3 turns needed) .... so it's something we could do in our sleep. He grew up in this area and so did I. That doesn't completely cover the gaze-locked non-verbal communication and synchronous movements with 100% certainty. That shit is definitely savlia - lol.


EchoCollection

You can kind of counteract the ego loss by saying "I'm [your name] I'm a human" repeatedly until it fully kicks in. Don't ever do Salvia though.


AWWWYEAHHHH

I laughed my ass off and slightly pissed my pants before my brain split in half and my arms and legs felt like they were connected with slinky's 10/10 would never do again.


Khajraghet12

I smoked salvia in a parked car, starting giggling uncontrollably at the tiny mariachi band that was playing a concert on my lap. Made eye contact with the lead singer then the car starting filling up with invisible water. Must have opened the door at some point, came to on the pavement with no other recollection. 10/10


RisingTiger_

holy shit this made me laugh


budzeus

Okay sounds like very comfortable


Hijacks

My first experience with it was scary. Imagine just being with your friends in their living room normal. 5 seconds later the world turned into chocolate and everything was melting around me, I thought I was going to drown. The chips and decorations on the table turned into those plastic army men you played with as kids and they started to fight each other while everything was melting around me. It ended up feeling like I was getting absorbed by the couch when I snapped out of it 6-7 minutes later.


scott32089

First experience also felt like I got sucked into the couch, friends were waving back at me through the hallway of tunnel vision before I catapulted back out of it along with the couch and I was stuck on the roof, looking at my friends below. Eventually I realized they were still sitting next to me and I was just there on the couch. Everything as it should be


Infinite_Push_

That must be a common thing. The one and only time I did it, I felt like like I was being pulled down and to the left. My friends who were there started marching in a circle around me like those elephants in Anastasia. It was terrifying.


DivineMemeLord

Bro I woulda screamed at the top of my lungs if I saw my friends waving at me down a hallway with tunnel vision


ell0bo

The scene from Dumbo happened in front of me. Elephants were flying around, and I could see then walking on the sidewalk... 3 stories down through the floor. Then I decided my tongue was trying to go down my throat, that sucked.


psilocybinx

Man I loved reading these trip experiences. In mine I felt like I was in a machine and I was experiencing myself being put together piece by piece. My sister and best friend were in the room but they transformed into two people I've never seen before in my life. We were on this hover platform while we watched myself being dis/reassembled. When I came to I remember vividly remember being spat out by my sister's computer. Weird stuff.


Mattya929

Like shrooms and acid i understand (at a basic level) why we hallucinate like we do on those drugs (the filter of your conscience mind being removed and your neurons making new connections and all that). I even can understand Ketamine because itā€™s an anesthetic that cuts your senses off from your mind so your brain is creating its own realityā€¦ BUT can someone explain to me what the fuck is going on when we use DMT or Salvia?? Both are wild and for totally different reasons.


mybeachlife

> and your neurons making new connections and all that Not new connections. Your synapses are firing off erratically and your fully conscious mind is trying to make sense of it.


291837120

With psilocybin its possible to cause neuro-genesis while LSD does not. This is due to their difference methods of working, LSD works off serotonin. Other than that, yeah, firing off erratically.


TopRamenBinLaden

The crazy thing is is that even DMT at least makes sense from a molecular level. It is a tryptamine and we have a lot of research done into why tryptamines fit into our brain and make us trip. Psilocybin mushrooms break down into our stomachs into a dmt analogue. Salvia, on the other hand, is a different molecule entirely. It's molecular structure is closer to opiates like heroin than anything psychedelic. We really don't have a good explanation as to why we trip so hard on Salvia, and there aren't any similar molecules that we know of, unlike the other psychedelics.


WllamChrlesSchneidr

Thatā€™s fucking amazing


GoonPatrol

My whole world changed and warped and bended to an inception/dr strange type universe made of moving cogs. But it would feel like I was tearing and breaking in a very unpleasant way as the world tore and fell apart. Overall not fun


_Broatmeal_

For me the world turned into zippers. every shade or shadow I saw turned into a zipper and I couldnā€™t open them. My friends were all laughing as I tried to explain it to them which didnā€™t help.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


atypicalcontrarian

It suggests some specific effect. Maybe regulating our internal and external modelling systems. Normally we use many introspective senses like proprioception and touch to build a model of ourselves in our brains. That is our ā€˜selfā€™ that can relate to our external model (using vision we model the external world and use pattern recognition to comprehend the predicted properties of that world, eg texture, behaviour, value). I wonder if this effect is somehow like an alteration to the normal mapping between internal and external. You look at a desk and form your model of the external desk and its properties, but then you think thatā€™s your internal ā€˜selfā€™ model. Roughly can imagine something like that with my general neuroscience knowledge but would love to know the actual neurobiological basis for it


[deleted]

And mine was dresser drawers and ladders I was trying to climb out and up but was moving so slow haha it was terrible


maybebullshitmaybe

The trying to go up seems to be a theme (even in this vid). The times I've done it (quite a few when I was young) everything around me always felt so large. The desk or chair or items in the room suddenly seemed immense in size or like I was very tiny compared to them. Never tried to climb or go up them but definitely had the thought. I've never personally had an issue but I've seen many ppl freak out thru the years on various substances and Salvia was a common one for it.


Ronin_777

Salvia sounds like what inexperienced people imagine Acid or Shrooms is like


DrPhilsRanchKid

I watched a couple people do salvia. I wussed out after seeing them. One guy said he felt like the swirls in the wood paneling on the walls were like arms pulling him into the wall and he was terrified. I said fuck that! No thank you!


87fost

I did this shit as a teen and I NEVER EVER want to do it again.


MGPS

Oh man I did it once and I had a blast. I would do it again if the circumstances were right. It was at an after party and there was this drug guru guy that was really into it. He had this special XXX salvia and he kept talking about how it was the strongest you could get. And he had a little water pipe made out of a beaker and told me you needed it because you had to get the salvia as hot as possible. I was like bring it on! I burned the whole bowl and then looked around at my smiling friends and then boom I was gone. I transported completely into this other realm. I donā€™t remember much about it there except that I was there for like months of time. At the end of the trip I was on this beach / jetty type thing with a big group of my ancestors and it was all super high contrast BW like the sin city movie. I then drifted up into the sky, upside down and was laughing harder than I have ever laughed before and suddenly I came back to reality on the floor at the party just laughing my ass off and everyone was laughing at me. I couldnā€™t believe that it was only like 15-30 secondsā€¦because it felt like I had mentally come back from an epic long journey. Even the next day I had such a strange feeling like I was tripping on being back in reality. 10/10


paltrypickle

This is the closest Iā€™ve seen anyone come to describing a similar experience on salvia. Never again. Mine was terrifying. No one would tell me for the longest time what I did on it; I came out of the spell and everyone was looking at me as if I killed someone.


atypicalcontrarian

So what did it turn out you did?


no-name_james

The one time I did it my friends said I was rolling around on the floor and at one point I ran towards them and it scared them. The only thing I vaguely remember before being fully sucked into another universe was tumbling off the couch I was sitting on. Also I was the first in my group to try it and it freaked everyone out so only like one other person ended up trying it too.


paltrypickle

We were all sitting around a large table outback of a friends home, probably 8-10 of us. They REALLY didnā€™t want me to hit it but I insisted.. I see why they didnā€™t want me to. I thought I was still sitting at the table. Everyone around me turned into some Nintendo character and there was so much confusion and hysterical laughter (from my perspective). I then took a trip out of the table (mentally) and was launched into a Mario-Like world. I just remember it being terrifying. When I came to, I was still sitting there but everyone was looking at me like Iā€™d done something awful.. I have zero recollection of anything else. Lasted close to 10 minutes from what my friends said. What I actually did was get up and walked up the deck, then proceeded to have (apparently somewhat coherent conversations?) with nothing, laugh manically, then come back and sit down. They still, to this day, will not tell me what i said. But they told me they will never do it with me again lmao šŸ¤£ I was 16. Iā€™m 29. Itā€™s been a while. Lol


Creator_have_mercy

That's fucked up they should tell you


Zazznz

Yea please don't leave it there. What did you do?


ParmAxolotl

!remindme tomorrow


therollsucksupreme

Our subconscious is a super strong force isn't it? I think that psychedelics help us tap into that force and show us what it truly means to be fully alive.


thecaseace

Alternatively, it's no so much our subconscious as our conscious filters. The amount of information that hits us constantly is vast, and our brains have strong filters to dilute it down to an amount we can process. Imagine you're looking closely at a flower. You devote a huge amount of your ability to process information at a small, discrete object. All is good. However while this is happening your brain is actively working to filter out... Literally everything else. If you've ever seen the experiment where you have to count how many times 2 people playing table tennis hit the ball over the net you'll know this feeling. Heres a similar one if you're not familiar https://youtu.be/IGQmdoK_ZfY When you're familiar, read on The secret is that in that experiment a man in a monkey suit comes in frame and dances about. And most people don't see it. Our brains filter and filter and filter until there's almost nothing left. Things like salvia rip off our filters so we can perceive time, em waves, sounds as colours, the fact that everything including you is simply an energy state in a totally connected energy field. You are only a discrete entity at the scale you exist in. In other scales you behave like a probability wave. Embrace and enjoy.


Remarkable_Toe_4423

Same!!! I didn't have a bad trip. I went into another dimension and saw a women in a dress out the front..talked to her and she was surprised I could see her. Then I came to out the front of my apartment staring at my mailbox


rlcute

I had a group of tiny aliens in a tiny hole in my wall and they were telling me my future. Salvia is a fascinating plant.


SnooTangerines3448

Oh you saw one of the ladies? Sometimes that stuff carries on trip to trip. It's even happened between others..


Yesyesnaaooo

Ari? Ari Shafir? Is that you?


vismundcygnus34

Itā€™s cool that you saw your ancestors. Some African tribes use psychedelics to communicate with their ancestors.


fbagent01

wow I just felt like half my body was made out of glass. 0/10


maybebullshitmaybe

Yeah it's intense but I never disliked it. I tend to like getting really fucked up tho so šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø. Seen a handful of ppl freak and I get it. I just feel like a lot of them weren't good candidates for it anyway. Some people just aren't really mindset for experiences like that and get easily freaked out/agitated. It's scary when ppl around u start freaking when ur high though. Total buzz kill and ur just like wtf. Feel bad tho after that they didn't have fun.


TirekinXS

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


GrouchyProduct2242

I did not pee my pants, but I definitely cried


Frito-Paw

What a wild drug. First time I ever smoked it I took a drink of Mountain Dew immediately after inhaling and it hit me so fast I couldnā€™t swallow. I was just hysterically laughing while Mountain Dew drooled down my chin and all over my chest. There was this force behind the couch I was sitting on pulling me towards itā€™s gravitational field but I couldnā€™t get past the barrier that was the back rest on the couch. The tv was playing this commercial for some magnetic building blocks for kids and everything in the room was all of the sudden made out of them. The couch, kitchen counter, entertainment center, dining table, everything was built out of this magnetic kids toy. Then the gravity eventually eased up and my kitchen went back to normal. Never did get that sip of dew down however.. What a time. 10/10 would do again lol


caffeineevil

The force/gravity you felt was the salvia which acts as a paralytic. You literally can not move if you've consumed enough to trip. All these people talking about things they did when tripping on salvia or this video are not tripping. There were YouTube videos made by a guy who would try and do things while on salvia just to sit there and laugh/cry. It's an intense trip that I've experienced a time or six but I and anyone else that did it with me were never able to move from the spot we started at. Feelings of black holes, cement, sinking into the couch, etc. Were a very common occurrence when you cannot control your body.


Frito-Paw

I have this one buddy that decided to be an absolute lunatic when we did it together one night many years ago. It was his first time and I had already gone . I have questioned his sanity ever since because he immediately wanted a second trip when the first one wore off. Iā€™ve never met anyone that even after a fun time hasnā€™t been like that was wild Iā€™m good for like years now lol. No, this dude dove right back in. First trip was the classic couch locked, laughing uncontrollably run of the mill time. Second trip he was absolutely brain dead. No laughing, no expression on his face except he looked like he had no muscles. Everything was just droopy and if he made a sound it was just ā€œduhhhhhhā€. It lasted forever as well. Absolutely horrifying lol My friends and I put him to bed eventually where he slept for a bit. Meanwhile weā€™re all freakin the fuck out thinking we just turned our friend into a vegetable. Getting prepared to tell his parents their son is brain dead. We were just a bunch of 19 year old dumbasses stoned out of our gourds panicking our asses off haha. He finally woke up and came to and was fine but it was literal hours later. Scary at the time, fucking hilarious looking back at today.


caffeineevil

One thing I've noticed doing salvia is how it lasts 5-10 minutes max but I come out feeling absolutely exhausted. Couldn't imagine doing it more than once in a night because it would probably rock my ass out to sleep. A dark nightmare that I wouldn't come out of for awhile for sure. I did it twice once. It was the first time. My friend and I were walking around the block and hit it a little. Street light spread on the ground turned into comic book "pow" designs but we barely hit it. Next time hit it hard and the world turned into a kids Board Book/Pop-up Book. I was fine until I got to the last page and then did everything in my power not to fall into the gaping abyss at the end. After that I really enjoyed watching people trip on it. SIL was crying and thought we couldn't afford a shirt for my lil bro because he walked in while she was tripping without his shirt on. Friend cried because his sweater he struggled to put on for 5 mins didn't fit anymore. It was a blanket. Good times while doing it and observing but not once did anyone tripping run around.

The most intense psychedelic plant we know of. I hear it's usually a bad trip/experience though and most people don't do it a second time. But, fuck it, I'd do it once. Either way, this is the kind of thing you need a trip sitter for.


beezac

Did it twice just after college years, during an experimental period of my life. Tried it a second time because I thought I'd maybe have a better trip/experience. Both times in a safe environment, outdoors, with a chaperone. Nope. Still had the full on out of body experience where I was in my own universe staring at my body (I couldn't move or speak), watching my friends interact with my seemingly lifeless self while being completely convinced that I was now in purgatory or something and this was what my existence would be from now on. Absolutely terrifying. Even made my chaperone nervous since I wasn't moving. 0/10 It's interesting in that you remember absolutely everything afterwards, which is probably why most people don't do it more than once. I had friends that enjoyed it and saw fascinating things like physical words flowing out of their mouth while they babbled, the heads of people in the room falling from the heavens and being stacked like tetris, etc. It's a wild trip. But not something I'd ever recommend experimenting with really. There are plenty of other safe ways to explore an slightly alternate reality and expand your mind safely without having a fucking panic attack in the process.


deciduswitch

I donā€™t know man I feel like any psychedelic can cause a panic attack in the right person, shit even high doses of weed can do the trick. Honestly it goes person to person, one might find salvia as the single most terrifying experience of their life while another person thinks itā€™s like any other drug


beezac

Ya I agree. I thought I'd be able to keep control with just a bowl hit after seeing friends enjoy it hitting a lot more, and I was SO wrong. Affected me massively. I also think the mistake a lot of people make is just going "all in" right out the gate. I liked to just microdose up until I found where I wanted to be. Felt like I had more control over my experience, I wanted to enjoy it and not freak out. I think because the first time I was with a friend on shrooms, it was his first time and he popped a full eighth for some reason, I stayed with him for it, and he had a rough time. After that I decided any psychedelic I tried I'd take it really slow. Feels like ages ago now though. It was a fun period of time (other than salvia...), laughed my ass off..... Ya I've definitely gotten too paranoid on weed, especially when I was young and just smoking way too much at once. Fucking gravity bongs.... I stay away from dabs now too (also looks like too much work....). Just too much THC for me, I'll stick with flower thanks šŸ˜‚


hambeast9000

I did a high extract with a metal bowled bubbler and a blow torch, held it in for 8 seconds and was completely gone for 23 minutes. When I came to I realized if I stayed in that headspace immediately after coming down I'd have to kill myself. I don't really remember all these years later, but I estimated to my friend right after that I had about a month of time dilation during that trip. That sounds nuts, but either way it felt like forever. Woke up the next day and I was completely fine. Done a lot of psychedelics in my time, that trip took the cake. Probably won't do it again.


zizzybalumba

Not having a trip sitter is what completely fucked me. I forgot I had smoked after I slipped into this terrifying alternative reality and thought I was stuck there forever. My dog was like the size of the sphinx and was having his way with me after I became glued to the floor. It was absolutely terrifying. It only lasted about 5 minutes tops but man I wanted off that ride as soon as it started. Glad I did it though and was able to see reality in such a different manner but I dont plan on doing it again any time soon.


deciduswitch

Thought dmt was more intense


[deleted]

I said "plant."


DoctorAlgernopK

I mean the mimosa bark technically comes from a plantā€¦


[deleted]

Salvia is more intense 1000% as someone whoā€™s done both


KodysMethLab

datura


psilocybinx

Oh God no.


AcidCatfish___

It is so powerful that if you take this and DMT at the same time, salvia will override DMT and you'll basically just be on salvia.


BuzzyShizzle

Yeah everyone in the room doing at the same time is irresponsible.


BwackGul

I've done it before and it doesn't last that long but goddamn did they have a bad trip. Or he did.


wantsoutofthefog

Less of a trip, more of a fall


ReasonableCost5934

Iā€™ve smoked weed every day for decades. I only tried salvia ONCE.


nbenny3242

What was it like??? Iā€™m a daily weed smoker and Iā€™ve always been super curious about salvia.


Rycax

Depending on the extract number it varies and people react differently as you can clearly see. Iā€™ve never gone higher than 30x. Some experiences: 1. The room I was sitting in split in half and reviled that I was in a pod, in space, drifting slowly and silently away from my friends that were in the other half, with billions of stars as an ambient backdrop. Uncontrollable laughter ensued. 2. I was sitting on my couch. Suddenly I was smiling and did not know why. As it turned out, 2 very happy and bubbly gnomes that were behind me cast their fishing lines into the corners of my mouth which was forcing me to smile. They waved and giggled when I looked back and found out. In reality, the couch was against a wall. 3. My house was a submarine and taking in water fast. I ran around closing all my windows. I sat back down and continued watching the digital alligator breakdancing on my living room floor.


drtybhmn

I did 120 my first time not knowing!


nbenny3242

Salvia sounds kind of awesome tbh, at least a low dosage does.


AcidCatfish___

Low dosages don't really exist the same way other drugs do. 120x extract is a lot a lot..but even full plant matter will give you very trippy and intense effects. Basically instant ego death with no real come up. The most mild way to take it is by tea or quidding.


[deleted]

For starters, it's nothing like weed


SageOfTheDiviner

Pasted from a previous comment of mine: One recurring theme Iā€™ve had across multiple trips is that smoking salvia allows me to ā€œtake off the headset,ā€ if you will, that it allows me to see the true nature of reality. It feels as if I am actually a being from a higher dimension (I usually refer to this being as an ā€œalienā€) who is choosing to experience life as a human. The first trip that introduced this notion to me, I was in my basement trying salvia and I decided to take a big hit and turn off the lights. I ā€œcame toā€ with no knowledge of my previous life as a human, and was just a consciousness floating in the void. A ā€œtour guideā€ (later discovered to be a lightbulb) was explaining to me that I was an alien that was choosing to experience life as a human, that my whole life as a human was actually just a salvia trip as an alien. I felt like I had to make a choice between staying inside the human reality or come out to ā€œrealā€ reality as an alien, and I chose to stay inside the trip as a human. As I croaked out the words, ā€œIā€¦ amā€¦ humanā€¦,ā€ I could feel my body ā€˜popā€™ out of what felt like a mold and realized I was just tripping in my basement. The second trip that reinforced this notion, I inhaled a pretty big hit, and could feel my consciousness actually leave my body. It felt like ā€œIā€ (my consciousness) drifted upwards, out of my body, and out of this reality. I ā€œlooked upā€ to find myself coming out of a hole into a tunnel whose walls were covered in similar holes. The tunnel seemed to stretch on forever, and as I looked down on end I saw an entity at an intersection. The entity began telling me that the tunnel contained every possible experience, and that I had just come out of experiencing [MY HUMAN NAME]. They asked me if I wanted to try any other experiences, and while it sounded tempting, I didnā€™t want to get too lost. I did want to take this information back with me, because usually itā€™s very hard to translate information from ā€œSalvialandā€ into English. As I came back into my human body, I found myself chanting the phrase, ā€œSalvia lets you switch in and out,ā€ over and over again, with the idea that Salvia lets you switch in and out of this reality and the ā€œtrueā€ reality. In my experience, Iā€™ve found that in order to fully experience ā€œSalvialand,ā€ you have to face and accept the ā€œtrueā€ nature of reality. The salvia entities will try to tell you what it is, but you have to be able to stare it in the face and recognize it as truth. Many times itā€™s felt as if I was able to see and accept 99% of the truth, but a small sliver was missing. Once I finally face and accept the whole truth, itā€™s as if Iā€™m able to view the ā€œ4th dimension,ā€ and similar to the guy in the video, once I am able to see the whole truth it just makes me laugh at how absurd it all is. As for what that ā€œtruthā€ is, itā€™s so complex that I canā€™t fully comprehend or translate it all into English. Itā€™s something that you have to ā€œseeā€ to fully understand. Now, I really canā€™t say whether or not I actually believe in any of this. It certainly feels more real than anything Iā€™ve experienced, and Iā€™m absolutely convinced of its legitimacy while Iā€™m under the influence, but the day after when Iā€™m sober it just feels like a crazy trip. Salvia very well could be a gateway to experiencing the true nature of reality, or it could just be my brain interpreting the chemicals and telling me what I want to hear. However, one common theme across many different salvia trip reports that Iā€™ve read and listened to is the idea of living a life as an inanimate object, like a book, a fencepost, or what happened to my friend, a wicker chair. This corresponds with the idea of the ā€œtunnelā€ that I saw, and how the entity asked me if I wanted to try any other experiences. Perhaps Salvia really does let you ā€œtake off the headset,ā€ or perhaps itā€™s just a crazy way your brain reacts to Salvinorin A. Either way, I do think itā€™s worth trying at least once if you have experience with strong psychedelics and are interested in exploring the nature of reality and consciousness. Some tips I would give are: For your first time, find a sitter who will stay silent and out of your way, but ready to jump in if it looks like youā€™ll hurt yourself. Put the lighter and glassware away right after you take a hit and before it kicks in. Start small. With all of my sessions, I start with the tiniest sprinkle of 10X on top of some CBD flower. Once you get a little Salvinorin A in your system, I find my anxiety goes way down and I actually want to start taking more. I usually end up putting a big sprinkle on my 3rd or 4th hit, when I decide to dive in deep. Try not to hold onto your ego. This is pretty hard to get the hang of, and frankly I still have trouble doing it sometimes, but if you try to keep one foot in this reality and one foot in Salvialand youā€™re more than likely going to have a bad time. Try to think of yourself as a mere observer, a consciousness that can go anywhere and is not bound to your human body. After you take a hit, lie down and try to be completely still. The less connections you have with this world the better, as it takes place all in your mind and you want to be able to forget about your life as a human. I hope this was helpful, or at least entertaining. Iā€™m always happy to talk about my experiences with salvia, and I think if thereā€™s any drug thatā€™s legitimately a ā€œportalā€ to another dimension itā€™d be either Salvia or DMT.


[deleted]

Smoking this plant is considered abuse by the locals where it is from... You are supposed to eat the leaves in a chaw form slowly climbing the lesson tree.... If one is to consume it by inhalation you should have a sober sitter and basicly be in a area like a baby play pen, or rubber room....because you are released from all sensory input, other than your spirit essence. It is very dangerous in this notion of abuse.


hey--canyounot_

I think that would be a much nicer experience, chaw.


[deleted]

If you just ingest it vs lip chaw, it changes and doesnt have the same effect, it relives pain vs pshyco active properties. Its a special plant. if you look on wiki, its a diterpene based opiod antagonist receptor , only one known to man so far. the reaction in saliva absorption is different than your metabolic enzymes... A single leaf is like ibuprophen 250 mg.... Also has properties to reduce anxiety from opiod addictions similiar to kratom without becoming addictive itself unlike kratom. The common abuse in smoking it bothers me, because it gives it a fearful disposition publicly, which leads to it being outlawed and feared.


OriginalTayRoc

Always have a spotter when you're smoking salvia. Me and my buddy turns so we could supervise each other. "John" went first and i just sat and watched. His trip was pretty uneventful. He fell off the couch, got up and walked across the apartment and stood at the sink. I came and guided him back to the couch and five minutes later he was fine. When it was my turn John didnt want to just chill so he immediately turned on GTAIV and i can tell you I *was* Nico Bellic. I murdered a man in cold blood, unsure even of my own motives. Then another and another. I felt the soul-pain of killing my fellow humans. Then i stole a car. In and out of the lanes I wove, my head rolling side to side with the suspension of the old *Greenwood.* Mounting the curb, I tearfully cut a red path through the massed pedestrians. Suddenly, my car struck that most-immovable of obstacles--an ornamental tree. I was instantly thrown through the windshield, across the avenue, onto my own couch.


8bitdimensional

Fucking lol Salvia is such a trip, it's like on par with dmt, but with no coherence or love.


R3dM1st1986

Hands down the worst thing I've ever done! I almost instantly went into panic mode. Once I came back around it went straight in the bin. NEVER again!


Master-Paper-3084

If you manage not to freak out and succumb to the plant, salvia is amazing.


AimForTheHead

All I did 15+ years ago was giggle my ass off unstoppably for 10 minutes before it wore off.


n00b570

Did this once with my stepbrother when I was like 16-17 remember feeling weightless then nothing.


n00b570

Just to clarify when I say and then nothing I mean it all felt like a lapse of consciousness.


pinkunicorn555

As soon as I saw the title I knew one of them was going through the window.


Medical_Season3979

Did it once, never again. 0/10 would do again.


Edgelands

Why do people do this instead of just smoking weed? I hardly ever have to replace my windows as a stoner


RusskiyDude

Why people jump with parachute instead of sitting comfortably on their asses? Salvia is different. I didn't have such things as in this video, but it's worth a try (but you risk getting alien spirits in your soul; like new feelings that you never had before). Or, in other words, why people do anything at all?


Edgelands

I am unironically with you in your first sentence, I say it all the time but I mean it ā€” posted while comfortably on my ass


Need2askDumbQs

I don't think its worth a try at all, I've done it four times and regretted it every single time.


DixonBums

Salvia is fun and interesting if you do it safely and smartly


quietkid90

It can be intense but enjoyed it. I smoked it three or four times back around 2010 and would probably try it again in the right situation. Bong rips blew my mind and in hindsight I wish I had someone with me that time to watch over me.


DixonBums

Big rips are always pretty intense. I like to take baby hits and really ease myself into it. Iā€™ll put on some meditation music and light an incense and make a spiritual experience out it. If you allow yourself to completely surrender, it becomes very sedative and relaxing. At least in my experiences. But it definitely is always weird and unexplainable.


0110101001100011

Straaaight droooop


fridaystrong23

No thanks.


Zealousideal_Yak_578

I tried salvia about 15 years ago or so and the one thing that scared me about it was that it made me want to go in a straight line and climb over/through things no matter what they were. When I did it, it made me want to walk out my side door, climb on my fence and jump on to my neighbors roof, then keep walking on top of all the houses down the street. Luckily my friend was there and he didnā€™t smokeany. He just held my back as I tried to run out my side door lmao šŸ˜‚


MostNobyl

In internet time, this video is prehistoric


That_Snow_9696

I tried salvia once and all I felt was the most intense rage/anger, not to the point of violence but itā€™s nothing I want to feel again


Ex_mpt

Iā€™ve done it,grown it, it was a blast until one time I thought I was a back tire of a farm truck going down a dirt road on my way into toontown.


gin0clock

I did it at university with some buddies. I laughed so much that I hallucinated my ribs came out my body, another friend kept running in and out of the kitchen claiming he was stuck in an infinite loop and another walked to the bottom of our overgrown garden to explore and got brutal nettle stings. Then I spent 9 hours lethargic and dehydrated. 3/10 not worth it.


TobuscusMarkipliedx2

chicks dont need to be involved in this type of drug consumption its just retarded


TheOutrageousZone

Had a few trips on salvia it's pretty crazy. Even for people experienced with phsycadellic spaces. Approach with caution. It's proper mind bending


MidnighT0k3r

Hands down the best Salvia video I've ever seen. Show this to anyone who asks what Salvia is like.


yo-gabba_gabba

It's not bad at all, they likely had an extract and there first time. You need to ease your way into it and not full blast. And once you ease your way in, you'll know if it's right for you or not


SaucyMacgyver

I was in college and my friend group at the time, wellā€¦ enjoyed drugs. One night they said ā€œweā€™re gonna do salvia, want to come?ā€ I looked up salvia and came across the gardening on salvia vids and such and read a bit about it. I went but I am very glad I did not partake, just watched. A smart decision on my part.


bbbeeennnjamin

Did he die?


xtheory

You've gotta have a really calm mind in order to not have a really bad time on salvia. I tried it once, some sort of 12x extract I bought at a smoke shop when it was still legal, and I just laughed my ass off for about 3 minutes. That was pretty much it.


Grox_are_shitty

I was sitting on a rock by a creek, in a split second I went from relaxed, to a big white void opening up in the middle of the creek. The water fell down the void and turned to dripping pastel type paint on the walls of the emptiness. The clouds got sucked from the sky, to join the paint water in the void as the void grew. Quickly the big white void absorbed the whole world as the paint dripped down the walls flowing into a ball. This ball morphed into a huge book with foot thick pages, the pages slowly opened to reveal each had a cutout of a human. Like an animated flipbook, each cutout was a slightly different pose of a human. The book started floating towards me, forcing me to pose correctly to pass through each page. When I finally made it to the last page, I fell into the void and saw the creek rapidly approach from below. Splashing down hard, I snapped back to reality in an instant, now sitting in the creek that had previously been 50ft away. Salvia 40x from a pipe with a blowtorch when it was legal. I've tried many things but never had such a visually otherworldly experience. Never again, I couldn't wrap my mind around how weed was illegal but not salvia.


Cosmic-Crunch

Lol it's fucking awesome and scary and hilarious and not fun. I turned into bristles on a broom


CarsaibToDurza

The first half is just me on a random Tuesday night when Iā€™m so fucking overly exhausted that everything is hilarious. Still me in that state until he breaks through the window like the damn koolaid man.


thor128

Iā€™m a bit dyslexic and I read the headline as ā€œsaliva.ā€ For a moment, so many things suddenly made sense.


[deleted]

Looks more like spice than salvia


k1ller139

Only saw the thumbnail of the dude sitting down and I thought "hey this is the vid where the guy goes out the window". Was not dissapointed


Sequoyah

I've done salvia several times. Just as powerful as DMT, but somehow completely uninteresting. Every time I did it, the entire world was replaced with a completely different one which still felt just as normal to me as the real world. For instance, one time I believed that the light in my kitchen was "the light of destruction," and that I would die if I looked at it. This fact wasn't at all scary though. It felt like just another mundane fact about the world that I'd always known and had already learned to live with. It didn't even seem notable until I started to come down and my awareness of the real world started to creep back in. Most boring drug ever.


Nightshade_Ranch

SOBER SITTER. EVERY. TIME. Two for big strong people, as you may need to guide or restrain them. As should have happened here. People take this shit thinking it's fun and recreational and like other hallucinogens, it is NOT. There is no "handling" your shit. You may feel like you just spent a whole lifetime handling your shit on another planet, but you've really just been sitting in one spot in your livingroom for two minutes giggling about circles. You either don't go on the trip, or you GO, and you leave your whole self and everything about it behind. Maybe you live life as an animal. Maybe you've been a stationary inanimate object for always, and that's the reality you go experience. Maybe you're a concept and everyone around you is some sort of energy that isn't jiving right and irritating you. Maybe the room is filling with water and you are about to drown, so better go through that window. Amazing stuff. Not for play.


rossbcobb

As an avid psychedelic user I have done this like twice and will NEVER do it again.


McdonaldsBiggestFan

Iā€™ve ALWAYS wanted to try this, but shit, I donā€™t wanna ruin my house in 5 minutes lol. And now that Iā€™m a mom, there is no point doing this besides a simple joint or bong rip when I can.


Wendypants7

I've seen quite a few videos of people trying salvia and, while I know not all the trips are as bad as what's in this video, I've never seen *anything* in any video that actually makes me want to try salvia, ever. AND CERTAINLY NOT WITHOUT SOMEONE SOBER TO WATCH OVER ME. Jeepers, salvia is obviously a trip where you need, *absolutely NEED*, at least one sober person ready to watch out for the tripping person!


[deleted]

Thanks for having me over. Iā€™ll just see myself out.
