Ultimate Salvia FAQ (updated 10/17/05)

[slayed]

It came from a local head shop and was sold as 20x, but Ive smoked 6x from iamshaman.com that seemed to make everyone trip a lot harder.

[FiD420]

so you take a hit


you trip for 5 to 15 minutes then it's done?


do you have like a weird head buzz or feel sleepy at all after that?

or if you do it like all day and then go to sleep wake up...will you feel all mushy brained?


If I can trip for 15 min at a time that would be great...I love acid but have no time for it anymore. You have me very intregued.

[Ollie]

The after-effects are pretty minimal. You're good to go about 20-40 minutes later. But the trip is pretty much unlike acid or anything similiar *at all*. Total ego loss isn't even close to a good description. Inanimate object is a lot closer.

[Dodilicious]

If you actually trip, you're pretty much mentally retarded for the duration of it.

[FiD420]

well I shall be ordering this asap.


green what would you suggest?...er ollie..my bad.

This is really quite a good description. I inadvertantly "decided" I was connected to the wall during one trip. Me the wall and the floor just flying around as entity connected to the TV through a corridor. It was the only way my mind could enterpret the situation. My packet of buiscits were sober though. (I dont know how my head came up with that either... nor do I know what it means ;)) As for a good amount to trip on, I would say 10x is a good place to start.

Try DMT, you will be out of your fucking skull.

Try DMT, you will be out of your fucking skull.

Completely different. That's much more visual than salvia, which actually makes your thoughts much much more naive and simplistic, yet confused and complicated at the same time.

And for the record, some people have stated in reports that they found a very high salvia extract to be far more overwhelming than a DMT experience.

[FiD420]

ordered mine should be here tomorrow.

got 5x for free since my order was over 30$ w00t.

[FiD420]

will be trying this tonight..looks cool though.

[sas01]

Just like to add that Salvia is totally legal in France.
Don't do it without a sitter. Don't do it if you're in a bad mood. Salvia isn't a recreational drug like weed or coke.

Another good site is, click my sig. We're cheaper than Iamshaman.

[Weedy]

Do they sell torch lighters at head shops? Where can I get one?

[LeMorpheus]

Does anybody have any information on oral use, rather than smoking? I love salvia, from past experiences, but I'd be curious what the experience would be like in its original spiritual context as in, buying actual leaves and trying that route. I know it'd be weaker, obviously - no doubt there, but has anyone ever tried this?

Either way, I'm buying some salvia tonight and setting aside a few hours next weekend to have a little meditation session.

EDIT - Actually, I was just doing a bit of reading elsewhere, apparently the oral use is a more prolonged experience (longer onset of effects - ~20 minutes, plateus quickly, and last nearly an hour and a half) - any confirmation to this?

ANOTHER EDIT - I just bought an ounce of the leaves through a supplier and I'll be experimenting with those next weekend. I'll write up an experience report, if anyone's interested.

Plants that are used in indigenous cultures tend to be brewed into a tea. Ahayuasca, for example is brewed into a tea as well. You can try experimenting with a tea mixture. However, I don't know what would be the optimal fashion for extracting the psychoactive chemicals (i.e. cold bath vs. hot bath); or what amounts would be needed. Since most commercial Salvia appears as a potent extract, I would believe liberal experimentation with a few leaves wouldn't put you at risk for over doing it. Just a suggestion.

I've only ever smoked it, but if you find a good way to ingest it orally, let us know.

I'll definately give a heads up and let everyone know what I find out. I'm going to try the quid method first and foremost, because I've found information relative to that (as to, dosage, method, ect.), but I will try brewing it as well. Thanks for the suggestion. I can't wait to give it a try.

[Thanatos]

I tried Salvia two days ago. It was pretty crazy! 20x extract is definitely enough to make you trip.

[NorCal_ChiefMama]

Thank you for this tutorial. I know it's kinda old, but I clicked the link for the google video you said you posted and it no longer works. Could you possibly share a link to the video that works or provide a new video? It would be greatly appreciated because I would really like to see the proper way to hit the salvia. Thanks again...
