Salvia Makes You See Aztec Gods

June 19, 2008 - 5:30 pm By CC Staff

salvia7in.jpgI’ve never been one to say no to an experience that sounds interesting. This inclination has led me down a few paths my parents would probably not be happy to learn about — one of those paths being recreational drug use.

Now, before certain readers out there go all NARC on my ass, let me say that I make it a point to stay away from hard drugs. No coke, no herion…nothing that’s genetically altered to speed me towards an early death. I like to stick to the hippie stuff; weed, shrooms, hashish…you know, things that come from nature. And I’m very careful about who I purchase this stuff from. Those of us that partake in these sorts of relaxation techniques should always be careful about that sort of thing. People are a**holes.

Right, so public service announcement over. What I’m really writing about is this article I recently read on Salon.com about Salvia, a hallucinogenic substance that’s illegal in about 10 states and is probably going to be made illegal in a bunch more very soon. According to the author of the article (and a few friends of mine), Salvia is super potent — but only for 5 to 10 minutes. Apparently, you will trip off your ass and see the weirdest sh*t in the world (including Aztec Gods…or at least that’s what the writer saw), but it’ll all be over in minutes.

Lots of people want Salvia banned because, well, I mean…it can basically be classified as a drug, and if weed is going to be criminalized, allowing Salvia to be bought over the internet kind of makes the whole keep pot illegal argument look stupid.

Based on the descriptions in the Salon article, and descriptions from my friends (”I was sitting inside the sun, dude. Like, literally inside the sun. It was all round and hot. Like SO hot. And crazy BRIGHT!! How did I not go BLIND?!“), I’m not really eager to jump on the Salvia bandwagon. It sounds a little too intense for my taste. I smoke to relax, not travel to the 5th dimension, and any trip that people recommend having a “sober buddy around” for is not a trip I really want to be taking.

Have any of you ever had experiences with Salvia? Do you think it should be illegal?

    I’ve never personally tried salvia, but I have seen a number of people trip on it. It’s legal here in Texas so you can buy it over the counter at head shops.

    Honestly, it seems like a waste of $20. I’d much rather by a G of dro for 20 than make an idiot out of myself for 2-3 minutes (that’s how long the intense part usually lasts.) Also, the trip is nothing like shrooms.

    Trust me, if you ever see someone in the midst of their salvia trip, you would NOT want them out driving or even out in public for those couple of minutes. All in all from what I’ve seen, not worth it. Stick to the grass my friend.

    I was with my brother when he did it, and let me tell you, it was pretty intense. I’ve never seen anyone trip out like that in my life. I’m in Canada, so it’s not illegal here.

    I tried salvia a few times. The first time I tried it, it was with about 7 people. The girl who went before did it and everything was fine. She sat on the floor in front of a window, and sort of dazed out. I took my hit, and breathed out. I felt like I was sucked into a green tube like Mario, and I started laughing hysterically. Just then, the girl who went before me stood up, but she had a bad left knee and it gave out and she tumbled through the window, glass shattering everywhere. I was still hysterically laughing, even though I knew I shouldn’t be because she just fell through a window. Everyone else was panicking and pulled her out (she got stuck halfway through the window). She was fine except for a couple scratches. I continued laughing this entire time, and it grew into one of those obnoxious, crazy laughs that you hear on television sometimes. I was crying and laughing and apologizing for being an awful friend. When I came out of it, I felt so incredibly guilty.

    I decided to try it again, the next day, without someone falling through a window. I was sitting on a couch. I took the hit and I breathed out…and as soon as I finished breathing out it was like a brick wall hit me in the face and everything went black, sort of like when you stand up too fast. As everything turned from black to gray speckles, I felt myself being pushed backwards into the couch. My vision cleared and I could see everyone in the room, but they weren’t paying attention to me. I thought I was talking to them, but they weren’t answering. I wasn’t really talking, it was in my head. Because they weren’t answering, I thought maybe I had died, and I started freaking out a little. Then they all disappeared and I felt like I was 3 years old, laying on the couch in my parent’s old house. I could heard a movie on the television, but there wasn’t a television where I was. When I came out of it, I was slumped REALLY far sideways on the couch, with drool coming out of my mouth. Once I was able to talk, it sounded REALLY hoarse in my mind, like I was talking but I wasn’t. I didn’t like the experience, but I did like the feeling afterwards. My entire body loosened up, and the aftershocks of it lasted for about 20 minutes.

    My old roommate did it and she felt like she was in a book, and the pages were being turned and each page had a different thing going on. She said it was like Narnia.

    I haven’t done it sense; I don’t really like being out of my body like that. But I do look forward to hearing about your experience.

    I haven’t tried it but I have seen people do it. I watched one guy trip and it lasted for about 5 minutes, he just started maniacally hysterically laughing and would not stop and he couldn’t talk and he looked like he was so drugged out. he was drooling and mumbling and couldn’t keep his head up he got up and started laughing and stomping on the ground. It was the weirdest thing i’ve ever seen, but I do think i’d like to try it one day. I would have tried it that night but I was with my boyfriend and he told me he didn’t want me to do it, and he didn’t want to see me like that because he would be so worried about me. (I went to bed right after and then he did it, which kinda pissed me off). But one day i’ll try it.

    I do think it should be illegal because it is so much more dangerous then plain old pot. You do need someone sober around because people try crazy shit when they do it, like jumping off roofs. or chopping down the “trees” which are their friends, with an actual ax.

    my boyfriend and i tried it once because we couldn’t find any weed, and we live in texas so it’s still legal here. it did absolutely nothing for me. I smoked an entire bowl of it by myself and still felt absolutely nothing.. i thought it was a complete waste of time and money.

    Thu, 19th Jun 20089:25 pm 

    Same here… I tried it once with some friends and I didn’t trip at all, but apparently I was really mean and angry, which is a side effect of it and a reason people want it made illegal. My friends say that when you expect to trip you won’t and when you don’t expect it you will, so hopefully I will the next time…

  7. Ashley says:
    Thu, 19th Jun 20089:26 pm 

    Oh, but one of my friends that tried it thought he was a lion, so he was growling and swiping at all of us and then biting his girlfriend (you know how lions do that to show affection, lol).

    I tried it during my sophmore year of college and was very disappointed. I have wicked dreams all the time (its no wonder I have insomnia), but what I experienced using salvia was nothing compared to my dreams. I should have just taken my xanax instead.

  9. Dana says:
    Fri, 20th Jun 20088:56 am 

    The reason it doesn’t work for some people is because you need to use a torch lighter to smoke salvia. You can’t use a regular lighter because the salvia doesn’t get up to the right temperature. You can get a torch lighter at a gas station; it’ll be the kind you have to refill.

    I have done Salvia a few times and I recommend trying if you want to experience a crazy hallucination. Why not? I mostly just laughed hysterically like someone said about and felt myself getting pulled into the could. I drooled which I think is the worst part about doing this drug. You look absolutely hideous while your trippin. But then I was at this awesome Carnival and some Asian children were like coming at me from the ceiling. None of this was scary though, I loved it and was disappointed when it was over so quickly. Some friends of mine didn’t like it as much. I think just like with shrooms it matters if you are in a good environment, with people that you trust, and understand what can possibly happen before you start lighting.

    I’ve tried salvia with a group of people and there were different reactions. One guy just began to laugh hysterically. Another went to the roof of the building and started jumping up and down claiming he could fly. When did it, the second I exhaled, instant trip. I didn’t have clear vision (everything looked specked) and it felt like everything was moving like a broken record, like it was repeating itself. I felt a sense of deja vu and I just felt like I knew the “scene” i was in wasn’t going to end well. Then I got up, said “And I’m dead” and just fell on the floor. (don’t know why) I got back up and went to the couch and just sat, then the trip was over. I actually liked it. It’s better than tripping for hours/days like with shrooms but it was a pretty awesome trip. For the 5 minutes that it lasted. I would definately try it again.

    I done salvia a while ago, and i didn’t really hallucinate as i thought i would have. I did however laugh uncontrolably and seen a gremlin but it was only there for a sec, then i started licking the couch. I myself had the drool experience, but i also felt as if there was a million pieces of glass all over my body and i got a horrible feeling all over me, which made my experience non-enjoyable.

    I don’t know if it’s illegal over in the UK, but i don’t really think any narcotics should be made illegal, they are growing naturally ya know. just like tobacco.

    I’ve tried Salvia a couple times, although it was a lower grade. I think the most common experience for most people is just laughing hysterically and having loss of control for all of 5 minutes.

    I think it’s a bit absurd to spend tax paying dollars on making it illegal. I’ve never heard of anything ridiculous such as someone trying to ax someone down while they’re on a Salvia trip. I don’t think the trip would even last long enough for anyone to retrieve an ax in the first place. Now a coke head addict fiending for his fix…? That I could easily see.

    Responsible people aren’t going to go out and smoke Salvia out in the middle of the highway or anything ridiculous of that nature. Now irresponsible people who have no regard to other human life or the law..they’re not going to care if it is illegal, they will do what they want anyways.

    The same goes for alcohol. The effects of alcohol are infinitely worse than a 5 minute trip on Salvia. People drink and drive every day, and you don’t see a ban being put on it, correct? Intoxication from alcohol lasts much longer than Salvia and is much much more dangerous.

    For those who have not tried Salvia..it is a waste of $20+. After once or twice you’ll wonder why you even bothered spending the money or wasting time. It’s an experience you must have to be able to judge, but you really aren’t missing anything..at all.

    Just because stupid people use something in a dangerous way does not mean it should be made illegal (e.g. cars, guns, ALCOHOL).

    What is your intention? To “get high”? To have a spiritual experience? How about reading up on entheogens and learning how other cultures use them instead playing around. Plants that have these qualities have great potential, but most people are too ignorant to use them correctly.

    I love salvia. My first experience was bad, I did 20x and sweat alot and everything spun super fast. I am also big so I hardly was tripping…

    My second time scared the shit out of me while I was doing it then after a bit I loved it and looking back I loved the scary shit.

    What happend was… if anyones seen the above the influence commercial where the girl melts…. yeah… I melted into my lawn chair.

    Then my legs got really long and I was trying to reach my friends and was like “What the f***…..”… Then I got stuck in a giant bag and it kept closing. It was weird. The light on the porch got in the way of the bag and I yelled at my friend to turn it off bc it hurt my head.

    Then, I had to stand up and move. I had to be in certian areas of the porch… idk why but I did.

    Then after that I sat down and looked at the log cabbin ceiling – some parts dark some light – I thought it looked like a forest of perfectly even pine trees and I wanted to run thru them but I couldnt because they were on the ceiling ya know.

    I loved it, but I was also extremly stonned.

    I am personally going to look into extracting my own salvia to make it as powerful as I can so I can sell “the best shit ever” to my friends…. and so I can smoke the strongest shit around. If you have any salvia questions email me at ampullano52@yahoo.com or get me on AIM at anthonypull3437. I love drug talk :)

    once i smoked a 60x purple sticky salvia i bought at the headshop as soon as i exhaled i saw 4 oompa loompa midjit looking things raising off the ground the one at the front was a fat lady they were like whispering something i couldnt understand they were pushing me into the closet i felt like i was being dragged. then i looked at my leg (i was sitting down on the floor) and it looked like a bridge, i looked at my dad (he was my sitter) he looked like a house, i laughed at all of this and then tried to takt the bong with my right hand from my left hand and it looked like if the bong was glued to my hand with melted marshmellow i tried to pick up my leg but my foot was also melted to the ground, then i looked at the midjits that were dragging me in what looked like a lake going to my closet i felt like my soul was being dragged out nof my body..i closed my eyes and when i opened them the oompa loompas were gone..the effects were wearing off and it ended with a 10 to 15 min buzz. i loved it, i will do it again. salvia is good, as long as being used with the right intentions not for people to looking for just a high, fucking crackheads

    just wondering, what are the ‘right’ intentions?

  19. loosetragedy says:
    Fri, 19th Sep 200812:01 am 

    The right intetions simply put, is any reason that leads to escape from reality i.e. (your everyday problems). The right intentions would be to enhance reality. to, in a sense, acheive ascension from what we define as normal perception.

    But is this too nothing more than an illusion for our brains and five sense act as bio-mechanical holographic projectors. think about this our brains cant tell the difference between what we experience n what we quote unquote imagine we experience the same nuerons fire for each perception thats why when you think about lemons you begin to salivate. besides anyone who knows anything about physics particularly at the quantum level that what you see is not what you get. most of the out there, out there is just empty space the only thing that keeps this comsic soups of energy and light from phase through itself is the electromagnetic feild. relaxation leading to prayer or meditation which ever you choose to call it which lead to spiritual enlightenment. how does one classify a drug from medicine? they’re one and the same only the amount used and the intention for usage define its purpose.

    Okay so i tried salvia when i was in the backseat of a car and before i hit it i had to take a leak real bad so i hit the bowl and held it in for at least 15 seconds and as soon as i released the smoke i started feeling really wobbly like my body was giving out. Salvia makes u sweat A LOT. so as i was feeling all loose i felt like someone was pissing all over my head and i also started kicked everyone around me in the face cuz i thought i was chained to the car and i was trying to break free. SO i kept screaming PULL OVER PULL OVER and as soon as my friend pulled over i ran out of the car and ran inside krystals drooling all over myself and sweatin balls lookin like a complete tool and i look at the bathroom door and its literally 3 inches wide and im sitting there acting like i cant get through it while a couple feet away my friend whips out his dick and starts peeing in the krystals garbage can since he also thought the door was too small and when i came out of the bathroom i saw everyone staring at me and their were question marks on their eyes and i just said IM SORRY IM JUST TRIPPIN SO HARD and when i came back my friend was upside down in a feetle position screaming DAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

    Not everyone has a good salvia experience. I like the out of body feeling and exploring the deep areas of my mind. If you use it correctly it can be a good experience. Your not suppose to be in a moving car or with a bunch of idiotic kids. Your suppose to be in a quiet relaxed environment like your living rooming, NOT OUTSIDE RUNNING AROUND. Make sure everything is off and you have some one who is close to you with you (best friend or girl friend, one that wont laugh or fuck with you). Using a torch lighter seem to be the only effective way since the Salvia has to be burned at a high temp with constant heat. You also have to hold it in for about 20-30 seconds. If you use salvia for the spiritual experience, rather than looking for a “trip” with your immature idiot friends, it can be a good experience.

    Let me just put this right out in the open for some reference. I have experimented with everything at least once (except peyote and heroine) including Marijuana, LSD, Mescaline, Speed, Cocaine, Meth, Mushrooms, and Ecstacy. This was many years ago and I have been completely clean (no addictions) for over 3 years.

    Last night, I had the chance to add Salvia to my repertoire, and I must admit I was pretty hesitant. After watching my friend do it first and realized it didn’t look much worse than huffing a can of Dust Off, I took my chance after dinner and a few beers. We filmed the whole thing. I’ve read about using a torch ligher to burn it at 240 degrees Fahrenheit but we used a regular BIC cigarette lighter, and smoked it from a brand new waterbong with an ice catcher. The hit I took was decent, I held the smoke as long as possible and exhaled after about 20 seconds, but the feeling was similiar to that of Mescaline mixed with a California Dream without the visionary hallucinations.

    My vision slightly dimmed, my forehead broke out in sweat (as did my friend’s). I felt like I was experiencing about 6G’s of downward force, about 2-3 times what you feel on the Starship 2000 or the Gravitron at your local carnival, where you stick to the walls. I couldn’t stop laughing, and my lungs and my ab muscles felt like they were melting together. I could speak with normal articulation, although with a slight lack in comprehension. I was trying to describe what I was feeling and the closest I could come up with was as if every ounce of knowledge you have ever known along with all your experiences in your lifetime had materialized into physical matter and were imploding towards a blackhole singularity in space, and in an instant your soul had swallowed and condensed all of that matter into the size of a pinpoint and had been reabsorbed into the Earth through your feet.

    Thats the best words can do.

    I’ve tried it before and had the same melting affect…I felt like I was melting in my chair and being blown away in waves by a fan nearby at the same time…then I walked around for a while feeling like I was in one of those toys that have the metal pins (the kind that shows your handprint)…I felt like that was happening all over my body..and then it was like I could see the outside but from inside.

    Anyways towards the end it was awful because I started to snap to and i wanted to make it stop (it got kind of confusing being normal and then on salvia and then normal again)

    but apparently I told someone I was in salvia world and that I wanted to go walk in it…

    btw this stuff is the only thing I have ever tried besides weed…that being said I would not try this stuff first! It’s a little too crazy so if you’re inexperienced either do this with someone who knows a lot about this kind of stuff or don’t try it at all

    so iv done salvia a couple times and all i gotta say is FUCK that it hit me so hard i forgot i even smoked it when i was trippin, all i knew was that i felt rEALLY hot and sweaty and it felt like my skin was being pulled off and my friends were laughing all loud so that tripped my shit out and i am not even going to try and explain what i saw, i was surrounded by a very different place with vibrant colors and odd shapes and i had no body.. deff. the most intense thing i hav ever experienced.. tho that was the second time. the first time i took a hit and jus coughed it out and started laughing way hard for a minute. if nebody wants a tru trip (that doesnt have the uncomfortable side effects) that still makes u feel like ur in another dimension i suggest DMT.. look it up its crazy its produced in ur brain and can be found in almost any ecosystem. hav fun and be safe kids. ;]

    I tried Salvia for the first time on Jan 4th 2009 at 6PM. I read up on the stuff and decided to buy some. I paid $40 for a gram of 40xxx. That’s a lot of money for such a tiny bit. The Internet sites told me to start off at 5xx but with all the pot I have smoked to me it would feel like bag weed.

    I smoked it by myself without supervision. After taking two big hits holding it in for 20 seconds it took a few moments and then BAM. I began running around the house being pushed by a force I couldn’t see. I tried to stop but the power was too great. My dogs were looking at me with great concern. They knew something was wrong but I told them every thing was fine but in reality begain to be concerned myself. I came back down shortly afterwords and smoked some more.

    This time the same force was pushing me forward again so I laid down on my bed to see what would happen. I covered my eyes only to go to another place. I had no idea where I was with these dashed colors circling above me. I uncovered my eyes only to catch a glimpse of my ceiling fan which brought me back home. I recovered my eyes only to go away again.

    I was happy to come down from this trip I was on but have deceided not to smoke it again for a long time. I’ll stick with pot. It’s a better high. I think Salvia is a drug you should not take if you haven’t already done so. The government should make it illegal.

    i am a seasoned salvia user, and i must say when salvia is used the right way it is an amazing experience, but ive sat in for people who smoke pot, and when you treat salvia like pot you will not have a good experience. it is more of a spiritual experience. unlike pot, when using salvia you should be in a calm comforting enviroment maybe with calm music at a low volume. i have experienced salvia many times and have had no “bad trips”. dont go into the trip expecting some great hallucination, go in with an open mind and dont fight it (let it ride its course). get a sitter that has experienced the sage and knows what to do and will not ruin your trip. salvia is a great drug that is not as harmful as weed to your lungs. definatly do your research before your try it, this will garuntee a great trip and overall experince. be safe and have a good experience. i hope this will help some people have a good experience.salvia should definately be kept legal stupids kids dont ruin it for everyone just because they’re looking for some hallucinations

    I smoked salvia divinorum and continue to do so once in a while. The effects are very strong but brief with no adverse side effects that I have experienced. It’s my belief that salvia, along with marijuana, should not be illegal to consume, purchase, sell or possess.

    If the government could control and tax the sales of these substances then you’d see they would be made legal. But since the plants do not require any special factory production and can be grown in one’s home fairly easy. There is no way to control it besides demonizing it, making the majority of people believe it’s bad with grossly exaggerated and inaccurate scientific “research” and making laws against an innocent herb using people’s blind fear to gain support against it.

    The intolerance shown against plants such as salvia and marijuana is disgusting when you take into consideration that children are freely allowed to guzzle gallons of caffeine-rich soda and energy drinks and are specifically marketed to by the companies that make those drinks. Caffeine is a drug and can effect a growing child’s body and mind in their developmental stages in many horrible ways; becoming accustomed to and even dependent on the drugs stimulation.

    The plant isn’t evil: people just make it out to be.
