Looked like a fried egg, hangin' from a nail.

I tried it years ago. Didn't do much, but the effect it DID have was extremely eerie. Whatever direction I tried to move in (e.g., walking forward, leaning sideways, etc), it felt like somebody or something was physically trying to push me in the opposite direction.

Stinkin' Hippies!

I tried it a few times too a few years ago. It did nothing. I think a glass of water would be more intoxicating.

One of the funniest things I have ever heard.

I've done salvia more times than I'd like to admit... how messed up you get really depends on the concentration and method of smoking... from my experience.

I've had a few light trips, and I've had a few that were more like taking a 24 hour acid trip and condensing it into a 15 minute period. The only GOOD thing about that stuff is the effects wear off quickly. We had our good times with that stuff but honestly... I'll never touch it again. It can be the absolute most mind altering drug available if you do it "right".

That feeling the guy got where he started moving back over the couch is not something new. I've had it a few times, and I've seen a few friends do the same thing. You immediately must flee wherever you are... although we never crashed through a window lol... we mostly just ran out the door and did weird stuff like talk nonsense to mailboxes and throw our shoes. good times.

Does anyone have a Salvia Cider recipe??? I'd like to start brewing my holiday batch...

 

[ben the brewman]

Yea I have done it before plenty of times too and you can only really feel anything if you smoke the extracts. The leaf is a waste of time and money and not to mention it will make you damn near choke. I have never tripped balls on it but it dose get you pretty high for 15 min or so.

Mingia am I that old? I don't get it.. is salvia a strain of weed? I've never seen anyone freek out over a couple bong hits

 

[FlatcapBrew]

Did that back in my day. tripped out for about five minutes then just felt fecking retarded after. was a waste of time IMO

Salvia isn't intended to be "fun". It's not a "fun" experience. Those who are smoking it to "get high" or "messed up" deserve the bad experience they are getting. It's not like weed. It's a serious psychotropic that will completely change your perception, and is not to be toyed with lightly. Treat it with the respect it deserves; it's not a party favor.

No, salvia is an entirely different drug.

As for those saying it didn't do anything for them, or didn't work on them, or whatever... you're doing it wrong.

It's a surprisingly difficult drug to smoke. And it absolutely requires very high temperatures. Bics and Zippos don't cut it, you need a jet lighter, or at least a torch lighter.

And of course, you need potent extract from a quality source. Just smoking unprocessed leaves doesn't accomplish anything. I don't know if it's still widely legal or not, but I remember years ago when I did it, many producers seemed to be unable or just unwilling to produce the actual potency that they were claiming. But if you got it from a quality source, a good starting point was salvia standardized to 15x or 20x extract. Which means that the active component - salvinorin A - was extracted from the leaves, and then added back to only 1/15th or 1/20th of the plant material by weight, effectively making it 15 or 20x as strong as unprocessed leaves.

Heat it up in a pipe or bong with a VERY hot lighter, and quickly take as many hits as you can, making sure not to just exhale immediately. Holding it in just a little bit was usually pretty important, depending on the strength of the stuff, but it was pretty difficult because it was unbelievably harsh, and stronger extracts were even harsher. But the reason I say to quickly take as many hits as you can, because, if done right, you'll get 2 good tokes in, MAYBE a 3rd weak one, and then you'd simply be done, unable to take a 4th even if you wanted to.

Not true. I grew my own for a while, and got quite an experience from smoking just the leaves. Never made extract. Also, if you roll 8-10 fresh leaves up into a quid and chew on it for a while, you can lay on the couch for 30-45 minutes and take a 3 hour tour through your mind...

I have done it a few lot of times i kind of like a 8 hour trip in 5 10 min then you pull yourself out of your couch and +1 on high heat

Never heard anyone who's been able to do that, but I'll take your word for it. Especially since you are spot on about the absolute need to properly respect it. Psychedelics CAN be useful tools, but just like many of the "tools" in my garage, people treating them like toys and not respecting their power can wind up hurting themselves VERY badly.
