Yesterday evening i decided to give it my first try. Together with a friend I prepared my wooden pipe with some dried leaf.
I have had a couple of experiences with extracts but I was very curious to see where this would take me. I filled up the pipe to the top and took a very deep hit. I didn't even realise it and there i was. Staring at the decoration of my room and all of a sudden i burst out laughing. It wasn't just a normal laugh, it was so intense and it came from so deep that it seemed I was laughing the whole world away.
The strange thing was that it took me some time to realise i was tripping. It seemed so normal and casual that i didn't even notice. I couldn't stop laughing, it kept on coming from my deepest bottom of my stomach.
My movements became a bit robotic like i always experienced on Salvia.
Visually i had what i call a tripvision. The way you see the world when in altered states of mind.
All in all I didn't expect to reach this kind of level with dried leaf as i have read that most people don't feel a lot. I should have taken a few more hits as I didn't take all of it in in the first hit. I think this way i could've gone further, but i am very satisfied with this first experience.
Peace
