English is not my first language, so please bear with me Smile



Last year, a very weird series of circumstances and coincidences (I won't get into it because it will make my report too long) led up to me getting Salvia. This series of events ended with someone whom I barely knew coming up to me, handing me a vile of 20x Salvia and saying: ''here, a gift'', before walking away. I knew I had to do it but I was not ready. I held on to it as the months passed. In the meantime I meditated and read everything I could about the shepherdess, trying to go into the experience as respectfully as possible.

On a winter night, everything lined up, and I knew that it was time. I was with my tripping buddy, no one else was around, we were both sober, it was a weekend night, and it just felt right. I am usually very nervous about these things, but that night I wasn't. I knew that it was time and it all happened naturally.

I filled the bong with the herb, I looked at my buddy, and I said : ''look after me, I am going in''. I torched the herb, kept it in my lungs, laid back on the sofa, closed my eyes, and waited.

The instant I exhaled, I felt the sensation of being pulled up from the center of my chest. I was blasting through a multicolored tunnel at an incredible speed. Complex geometric patterns were whizzing by me, and the colors were melting in to each other until I suddenly reached the end of the tunnel. I was still floating in the tunnel itself, but I could see what was on the other side. It was a sunny, unbelievably bizarre, cartoon-ish village. It felt like the end of tunnel was a portal in a yellow brick road right in the center of the village. By then my ego was completely gone. I forgot who, where, and even what I was. It was sort of like watching a movie from a first person perspective.

At this point, three beings looked down into the tunnel at me. I don't know if anyone remembers the old cartoon ''strawberry shortcake'', but they seemed to have the same hat as her. They kind of looked like three red amanita muscaria people. They were whispering things to each other, and although I could not hear what they were saying, I understood them. They were saying: ''what is he doing here!? He shouldn't be here yet!''. This is hard to explain, but they did not make me feel unwelcome. It wasn't as though they were mad that I was there, but more as though their world was my real home, but I was here (on earth) for a while for some kind of game, and being back there meant I had failed at the game. The strangest part in all of this is that no matter how unbelievably bizarre this other dimension felt, it felt incredibly familiar to me. So familiar that ''over there'' felt like it was more real than this existence here.

They followed by discussing whether they thought I got the message, or if they should ''take me further''. After they agreed that I got what I needed to get from the experience, I started to come back. I started to remember that I was in my apartment, on my couch, that I was a human, that I had smoked salvia, and that this world existed.

When I opened my eyes, I saw my friend sitting in a rocking chair looking at me calmly, with red beams of light coming out the side of his face. I realized that from his perspective, I was just lying on a sofa with my eyes shut for a few minutes. He had NO IDEA what happened to me in those few minutes. He had NO IDEA that I had just gone all the way to the other side of the universe and back. This was hilarious to me and I burst out laughing. I don't think I have ever laughed this genuinely in my life. It was primal. It felt like the laughter came straight from my soul. It felt like an orgasm of the soul!

After the laughter, I was back. Back from the single most confusing, scary, wonderful, intense, disturbing experience I have ever had.

I am not saying this experience wasn't valuable, but it certainly was not easy. It took me a good few weeks to a month to be back to normal. The night after the salvia, I smoked a joint and that is when the sheer weirdness of my experience hit home. I was afraid I was going crazy because I simply could not accept this as a mere hallucination. I REALLY feel like I went somewhere that night, saw some real beings, and a whole other dimension. I still get shivers just writing about it.

This is the experience that reinforced my faith. This is the experience that made me realize there has to be more than just what meets the eye. Even more so when I talked about this with other people on a different forum - people whom I have never seen or spoke to before - who have encountered the same beings as me during their own salvia experiences. Now there's something that makes you think!

Guess my post was too long.

here's the short version:

I went through a tunnel.
I saw some beings.
They sent me back.
I laughed.

Sounds intense! I've had some bizarre experiences with salvia but I haven't gotten that far, at least not and remembered it. It is usually pretty disturbing though, unless I smoke it multiple times in one session and it starts to become euphoric. Reading that makes me want to go back in for another try!

I can't help but respond to this:

I see this a lot, but I see it the way it effected me a lot as well. The first few times I smoked salvia I burst out laughing the same way, and each time I couldn't get over how incredibly fake and hollow the laughter felt, like it was completely forced and didn't reflect the way I felt in the slightest. The trip actually felt overall positive, but I couldn't get over how mechanical the laugh was. It's interesting how far it can go in either direction!

Exactly! Alyzarin, that laugh that you're describing is what my experience with sally was like... Interesting to hear a trip report like THIS, thanks.

Never had much desire to seek it out though. Confuses me why it was/is legal in some places. I need to look that up maybe, unless someone can enlighten me.

Yeah, I never understand it when people describe this rich and euphoric laughter from salvia lol. It's a bizarre plant!

I think it just hasn't really been in the public eye until recently. Everything is generally legal until it becomes infamous enough.

Thanks for your replies guys! That IS weird about the laughter. for me it was exactly the opposite of that.

That being said, salvia didn't feel all that psychedelic to me. More dissociative than anything else because there was no mind left to expand...

I have been through that, yet I don't have the guts to take mushrooms. The mind is a weird thing!

Speaking from personal experience only, the first hit in a salvia session feels nothing but dissociative. While I do get "visuals", they don't have any genuinely psychedelic feel. They're more like very bizarre and realistic misinterpretations of reality. The first hit also comes with, as long as I got a big enough hit to get any effects, near or total ego loss. But again, it's more of a dissociative feel... that sensation of having fallen into the void. Anything beyond that would be too difficult to describe, to the point that my memories of individual aspects of the trip are incongruent to my memory of the big picture, so to speak, and yet they're all mutually undeniable.... Anyway, with each successive hit the trip is much more in-body for me. Things start to bend and distort in a way that shares some similarity with LSD or mushrooms, and I start getting entity contact that reflects my mind and feels much more psychedelic than the first hit. However, it's also going so fast that there's not really much time to think about anything.... So I don't know. I'd bet a higher dose non-first hit could be impressively psychedelic for me though.

Haha, you don't want to take mushrooms even after this? Laughing If you started with a gram of cubensis just to be extra cautious I think you'd get over your fear pretty quickly, it would be like a joke in comparison. You can start small AND have lots of fun doing it with mushrooms. Not so much with salvia.
