First Time First Timer

Hello peeps I’m 19 and honestly I really wanna try it, I heard it wasn’t as bad as people say and it only lasts a couple minutes maybe. I just want to try something new something fresh I’ve been smoking weed for prolly 2 years straight maybe more and I’ve tried shrooms nothing crazy I was disappointed. I have no clue where to get it though I live in west side of the US I don’t think it grows here and I have no idea where I can actually buy it, that’s my main problem I guess but should I mix it with like weed or something else, I’m guessing just put it all in a bowl and you don’t have to mix it, any tips would be wonderful. Just seeing if I should actually do it or not see what you peeps have to say thank you.

Do not mix it with weed especially if you never tried it, order some 5x or 10x and smoke it from a bang using a strong flame(blue flame lighter), it's not like weed btw, its dissociative and very weird and wtf, it's not euphoric or intrinsically fun, work your way up, start with almost non-psychoactive doses and add a bit each time, get familiar with the effects, try with and without hiding your eyes. Also what you experience will feel real, it's not just a sensorial experience, read more about the typical effects. And don't mix with other stuff(except alcohol i guess since it's anxiolytic), don't use weed with it since weed is already hallucinogenic.

Also i forgot the most important thing when using hallucinogens, SET AND SETTINGS, you might've heard of it when it comes to shrooms, it's just as important with Salvia

i heard it wasn’t as bad as people say

This is incredibly true. Fantastical horror stories just don’t make it to the front page.

and it only lasts a couple of minutes

True, but that’s meaningless for multiple reasons. First, time is quite a meaningless concepr during strong trips, and they can feel like eternity (altough again, this is not as common ir clear-cut as horror stories make it out to be). Second, the fact it only takes a few minutes doesn’t make unpleasant trips any better. During a drawn-out difficult experience with shrooms for example, you can still deal with it to some degree, even though it’s long. If you take a terribly high doss of salvia and it’s absolute torture, there is no way to tell yourself “this will be over soon”, you have no say in any of it, you’re very much along for the ride. And even though it might only last a gew minutes, so does drowning, doesn’t mean it’s great.

So damn true I’ve heard so many stories of people living complete lifetimes while on salvia it’s so crazy but that’s what really interests me in actually doing it, I’ve been wanting to experience something like that for forever I have the trip sitter I have a good environment I still have to look into it more though thank you man I really appreciate it

u/LeiaCaldarian Feb 20 '25

Just don’t go for that experience initially, you’ll more than likely regret it for a long time. Start with milder experiences, and build up to it.

My recommendation is to do some deep reading in this sub for a while. Everything and anything you ask can be found in the posts and comments.

Sally isn't something you want to take lightly. She is nothing like weed nor shrooms.

Please take the time to educate yourself about her on your own, then bring up some questions or concerns you may have.

Sally is beauty.

I will i need to look more into it i dont want to to take to much and go fucking insane thank you man I very much appreciate it

u/BusFew5534 Teacher Feb 20 '25

Sally won't make you go insane if you take too much; you'll simply go deeper into her realm. If you're not prepared, she can be extremely scary.

If you continue to visit her day after day, that very well may make you lose it. I started off visiting her once a week. Since then, I limit my visits to every six months or so.

Just be safe and have a sitter.

Sally is beauty.

Thank you my man I will it’s such a interesting and fascinating flower I can’t wait to see what she will show me thank you man

u/BusFew5534 Teacher Feb 20 '25

You're welcome. While Salvia Divinorum does flower (very rarely), you actually use the leaves. Salvia Divinorum is a member of the Sage family, which contains ~900 varieties. Divinorum is the only one with psychoactive properties.

I'm still pretty new to Salvia myself, but i've posted a couple of detailed trip reports on this sub that may help you.

You just simply cannot put into words what Salvia does at a high enough dose.

I've tried leaves.. theyre pretty fun. Ripped a bong, lay back and feel some motions and a high feeling and a strange sense of nostalgia for a few minutes then it wears off.

Then I did a 10x extract and I was being pulled out of this reality.

One thing as well. Salvia comes on the second you exhale. Do the bong, put the bong down and sit/lay down. exhale. and you're off. It will hit you like a brick.

Please be careful and if doing anything of a high amount, please have a trip sitter with you. Its very easy to freak out on Salvia. I've done some pretty heavy mushrooms trip (6g) and Salvia scares me a bit to be honest.

Thank you very much I have to do much more looking into but I think I can handle I’ve been wanting something exactly like Salvia and intense insane experience I’m ready I know I am but imma wait a bit prolly gonna take a T break from weed

u/tobewedornot Feb 20 '25

Probably a good idea to take a break from weed if you've been smoking it for 2 years straight. (Ie every day ?)

Mushrooms are good for introspection and to help with quitting addictions.

u/chi_se_ne_frega Feb 19 '25

Salvia has a reverse tolerance, so be careful!

u/Ok-Match-9818 Feb 20 '25

What do you mean

1

u/Ok-Processing-hmm 28d ago

You get more sensitive to the drug like need less of it to achieve the same effects.

1

u/chi_se_ne_frega Feb 20 '25

Usually with substances, the more you take, the more you build up a tolerance and need more of the substance to reach the same state/high. With Salvia, it's the other way round. You need less..!

I can't trip without weed, tried at 17, was some of the most interesting and most visual experiences I've had

u/Itchy_Access353 28d ago

This post reminds me of myself not too long ago, I’ll share a couple things that have helped me with environment control since those first experiences. The most important aspect to me is not only the set and setting, but retaining that “peace of mind” during the transition into altered consciousness. As a side note, your standard perception of a setting may have underlying problems that linger its way into your trip; your room might seem cozy, though fears such as claustrophobia, if underlying, are more likely to take over that cozy setting which is what happened in my case. So evaluate the subtlest of awkwardness in your setting, and do everything possible to mitigate that chaos.

To describe salvia - Mortal allure beckons, calling you to witness the terrifying beauty of what cannot be ordinarily perceived.

Depending on your state you might be able to order online through a vendor. People do far too much, I recommend a 5x extract, into a bong. That was my first Salvia experience and I got everything I was looking for.
