Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi guys If you are considering trying Salvia I recommend a sitter and sitting down. Go for the x2 or x5 strength - leave the stronger stuff for later. Salvia is unlike the others, you may forget you have taken it, you may forget where you are, who you are and even what you are. This can be interesting for experimenting with ideas of egolessness. Some people get up and move around. Some climb out windows. Some travel in time, space etc.. It is over in 10 minutes (unless you chew). I haven't tried it too heavy yet - I am chicken, I like my brain - I use it most days (though Salvia is supposed to be safe) Read some experiences here ...http://www.erowid.org/plants/salvia/salvia.shtml As for DMT an interesting recipe for its creation complete with pictures is listed here ... http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dmt/extraction_guide1/dmt_extraction_g uide1.shtml (DMT is not legal so don't make it) Erowid is good for San Pedro cactus prep (San Pedro is legal)and Ayahuasca. The site is good for legal aspects too. I want to say be careful but I don't want to sound patronising - you are all adults (I think) if you are not an adult be extra careful bad things can happen to your head if you are too young - legal or not beware of the risks. Good luck stepping through the looking glass. Peter -- In , " a_seventh_son " <a_seventh_son wrote: > > For the record (and my lack of credibility), I've no experience > with psychedelics.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Yes I do not recommend any of these as it becomes more of an experience for the plant than the human. And can really mess with you. Ayahuasca is the only one that will sit you up and teach you. " Hello Master Condrey and this is our lesson about you today! " as an example. I am happy that you brought these others into the mix Peter, as I was waiting for this and it is indeed an aspect of the ease we as a fast food culture have come to appreciate. " Just eat something and you are enlightened! " No work just consume this and your there. Kundalini isn't a drug or an entheogenic experience it is far beyond those areas and yet as some of you are reaching the edges of this experience it will seem to be as an addiction. The seeking out of bliss for the sake of bliss or the yearning for Shaktipat as a way of attaining bliss. So I feel it is best to come from a more personal " In body " perspective. Condition your self and work with in yourself and you will have and hold her /him and him/ her as the internal wedding is consummated. Then, everything changes.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also amused by the presence of 'distilled essence' of higher concentrations priced accordingly, that's very capitalistically funny. actually online merchants of the stuff selling grams for hundreds of $ an ounce is even funnier. then again we expect everything else to come in a little pill, or other ready-to-consume package, why not this? set up a hierarchy (say the chakra system) price it in tiers, cultivate an aura of mystique, go forth and sell. sorry for the cynicism -brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I would agree with and Brian's assessment of Salvia. I have " breathed of the essence " you might say, a few times. It's a weird plant. It will definitely hand you your sh!!!t. I don't see it as anything that would help to enlighten oneself. I really can't see any productive use for it. The tea, I'd try, with proper instruction/mindset, etc. Love, Ray , " a_seventh_son " <a_seventh_son wrote: > > > > Yes I do not recommend any of these as it becomes more of > > an experience for the plant than the human. > :-) nice way to put it. > > > I am happy that you brought these others into the mix Peter, > > as I was waiting for this and it is indeed an aspect of the ease > > we as a fast food culture have come to appreciate.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I've read that an infusion (i.e. tea, basically) or chewing the leaves of the plant itself was the indigenous practice. As it's going - concentrated dosages of pure salvinorum-A -- legality of this drug won't last long either. This type of irresponsible behavior by people seeking a quickfix or " ultimate high " is the reason most of these drugs became illegal (besides the ones that would heavily cut into profit margins of the pushers of legal drugs of course) in the first place. An unfortunate consequence. -brian > The tea, I'd try, with proper instruction/mindset, etc. > > Love, > Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 A friend of a friend took some salvia and was out for 3 days, he ended up commiting suicide not long after. It's a strong one, not to be taken lightly. You leave the body. (thats what I've been told). You don't know what you are doing. I don't think I'll be trying that one in a hurry.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 .. . . the Ayahuasca tea that is. I've also tried the Salvia tea and chewing the leaves. Only had very slight effect.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hello again Elektra, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I wonder if your friend might have had some other issues going on. I know Salvia is not recommended if you're not of stable mind. Still, this is a substance to be given the utmost respect. It's best to take it quite easy until you're more used to it, then decide if you want to go further. Myself, I only have partaken of the normal stuff, not enhanced (2x, 5x, etc) at all. I've experienced extreme (read constant) body rushes and thinking that I am part of the program that I am watching, that they are all very close friends, and we all are related and care about each other and are so connected. Very wild. It really rearranges your thinking for a short while. The strange thing about it is that you feel it coming on, but never really realize when it's got you. One time I took a hit, felt it coming on then . . . I was watching a movie (I really was) and they were talking about going out to do something, and I was like, " Yeah, I'm all over that " and was preparing to leave my apartment when I got distracted by a sock on the floor (good thing) and I realized what I was doing and went back into the kitchen (I was cooking chili). That's why it's a good thing to have a sitter, especially if don't know how to handle altered perception. Coming back to earth, for me, is a big let down cause you realize that the people on the program don't know you, don't care about you, and have no idea what you're doing. I had hoped that Salvia would be good for deepening meditation and spiritual experience, but I can't see it good for that. I also would tend to mistrust a spiritual experience that was induced externally. Consequently, I've put it on the shelf.
