My experience with drugs/psychedelics began when I was in, appropriately named, HIGH school. Since then I've tried Cannabis, Psilosybin Mushrooms, Salvia Divinorum, MDMA, & Cocaine. After high school I stopped doing all drugs except Cannabis until about 15 years later when I was re-introduced with Salvia.


My 1st experience with Salvia was not a pleasant one. My "friends" (no longer my friends) packed me a bowl of "weed" which of course was a rim rocker full of 10x Salvia Extract. After I exhaled my bowl I had an instant feeling that my bowl was laced with something. The next feeling was pretty frightening, that I had just died, I could no longer see anyone in the room or anything that I can remember actually. When I smoked the bowl I was standing (stupid friends) however when I came back I was sitting on a couch at the other end of the room, at least someone must have taken me there. I now understand that this was much too large of a dose. I lost interest in Salvia and continued to only smoke Cannabis for the following 15 years to date.

I've always had a mild interest in spirituality, dreams, states of consciousness, alternate dimensions/realities and drugs. The more I find out about all these things the more I feel like they are all related.

My interest with DMT started when I heard about ayahuasca on the show Blue Mountain State. Season 2 Episode 8 - Vision Quest (you can actually watch it here http://www.spike.com/full-episo...on-quest-season-2-ep-208) At the time I did not really know anything about this and believed it to be a made up drug specific to the show. I did some googling and of course discovered it was indeed real. I know the depiction isn't the most accurate but it is quite amusing. The length of the trip reports put me off from trying it, as I had stopped doing Shrooms because I didn't always enjoy the length of the trips. When I found out about the active ingredient being DMT, and it being very short acting, I became very interested in finding out more. I found the book which I'm sure many of you here have read DMT: The Spirit Molecule. I enjoyed reading it very much. I find the relation between psychedelic trips, near death experiences, out of body experiences and dreams to be extremely fascinating.


The duration of trip reports from DMT reminded me of Salvia's intensity and duration. I began to research Salvia and DMT more thoroughly. Since Salvia is still legal in Canada it is very easy to obtain. I picked up some various extracts from different suppliers to compare quality since I had only seen Salvia once before. I have smoked very very small amounts of 5x 10x 20x and enjoyed it every time and have had some interesting intense experiences, however I have been holding myself back and don't believe I've had a breakthrough experience due to anxiety. I am also ordering a milligram scale so I can take more precise doses.


In my everyday life I have anxiety/panic disorder. I've been dealing with it for over 10 years and I'm pretty much used to the feelings of anxiety however once in a while I have full blown panic attacks that are very intense. I've been on Wellbutrin 300mg daily and still have panic attacks so I'm hoping it will be the same without it. I am slowly weaning myself off my medication (with doctor approval) as I do not want them to interfere with any psychedelics I may take in the future. I wanted to find out if it would be safe for me to take any intense trips and find things that would help reduce my pre-flight anxiety. I found DMT-Nexus and have been reading the threads and am learning a lot. Also everyone here seems to be very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. I assume there might be other members who have anxiety and/or take antidepressants that could provide their opinions and related experiences.


Quick question that's on my mind about Salvia....I noticed some members here praise the plain leaf over the extracts. I was wondering if you're smoking fresh/dried leaves from your plants? Do they turn black when dried? I ordered plain leaf from an online vendor and it's all black broken leaves. I plan to grow some live plants but haven't had much luck finding any locally to avoid stressing them during shipment. I have since put my Salvia use on hold to continue obtaining more information before diving in too deep.


I am finding all the teks about DMT extraction very interesting and am still trying to find out if there is one that doesn't produce a noticeable smell of any kind. I also have been informed by a friend that he will be obtaining some DMT in the near future and I may be interested in trying it. Thus I decided to make an account. Hello all

I hope that was a satisfactory introduction, I know it was kind of long so thanks for reading this far. I am usually prone to lurking but feel very comfortable posting due to the wonderfully positive attitude throughout this forum. Kudos! <3

I have my own triffid, er Salvia plant (IT'S TAKING OVER THE HOUSE! SEND HELP!) and the leaves once dried are regular green. I have a few 5x/10x vials of enhanced leaf (haven't even tried the 10x yet, the 5x is more than enough for now) and that leaf is a bit darker though I wouldn't go as far as calling it black
If it's still legal in Canada (as it is here in the UK) I'd encourage you to buy a plant. They're super easy to grow. I keep mine indoors mostly to avoid insects and the winter snows/frosts, seems to be quite happy inside.
As an aside, have you looked into using Passiflora to help with anxiety? If you're on pharmeceutical medication of course I'd recommend checking there aren't any contra-indications in using it in conjunction, but I had episodic panic attacks for a while about 10 years ago (I think in part provoked by having used cannabis too much). I self-prescribed a combo of passiflora, hawthorn and motherwort to regulate heart function and soothe anxiety - to very good effect. Just a suggestion anyway

So, I've done a little searching online and I found this


The dosage he talks about is Wellbutrin XL 300 mg.

It doesn't mean much to me, but I know that Wellbutrin does belong in the SNRI category, thanks to google. So yeah, I honestly don't know much at all about this stuff, but maybe you can find something useful there. If you'd like a link to the forum I found it on, pm me and I can show you the thread, if it's not against dmt-nexus guidelines, that is. Sorry about the fact that I couldn't find any info from a reliable source, I'm sure there's probably more out there. Keep looking man! No one wants to waste good entheogens.
