still seeking wrote:couple of questions please regarding salvia and dmt.
i have tried salvia x20 twice now and both times it blew me away and i was not in control of my body,although it lasted only about 5-10 mins.i saw someone else on it and that was a scary experience to watch them.
this was our first time.
then there was the video where the couple smoke salvia and the guy falls out the 2nd story flat.
Salvia is legal in the uk,but how dangerous is it actually if you are not aware or in control of the situation?
Dmt i have tried a couple of times and seems much calmer than salvia.
you are still aware of who you are ,what you are doing and it it managable(from the experiences i have had).
is salvia a much stronger leaf than dmt?
was 20x too much for a first time smoker?
i,ve seen people running into walls and doors or squirming on the floor with salvia on you tube.
is this irrisponsible smoking of a to a high dose.
thanks.
Salvia simply has this tendency that you've noticed that DMT doesn't, and that's to create this sort of "zombie" (Sally D Zombies). The user often becomes unaware of his body and its actions, and the body can feel compelled to get up and stammer around while you're "off" somewhere else. For this reason, salvia can be a bit more dangerous than most other psychedelics including DMT, and is more necessary to have a sitter.
DMT on the other hand, whereas it may facilitate out-of-body experiences, the body is usually safe and immobile while you're off exploring the universe. There are some very rare cases (most often on high overdoses and 5-MeO overdoses) where the user has been reported to thrash out of control of which the user was entirely unaware, and may have even been in a blissful state, but I stress that this is rare with DMT.
Salvia is much more of an ego crusher. It can make you truly forget everything about yourself in such a deep way. With DMT, when I "forget who I am", it's only because I've stopped thinking about who I am or what I was doing or any of that. The instant it hits me that I don't entirely realize what's going on, it all comes back to me. It's more like just being so incredibly distracted that I've forgotten about myself in the equation. Now with the dissociating salvia on the other hand, the ego loss tends to be much more severe. Upon being faced with the dilemma of not knowing who I am, where I am, or what I am doing, I remain clueless. When I wonder what drug I've taken to make me feel like "this", I can't remember, and if I can come up with the name "salvia", I wonder to myself "oh, I wonder what that does"...even though of course it's going on full-blast in my face at the time. In general salvia (particularly at high smoking doses) is a more negative and uncomfortable experience than DMT. It's easier to smoke "right" than DMT so it's easier to feel its effects, and it's certainly more potent than DMT with its dose range in the micrograms.
It's really hard to say what's too much. As a first time smoker, I suppose you should start lower to better acquaint yourself with it. It can be extremely powerful. One time I merged completely with the couch - identity and all; I thought to myself, "I'm just a couch. No friends. No one to talk to. People just sit on me...I'm just a couch." Exercise caution, and have a sitter present.
