My Spiritual Experiences with Psychedelics

avatar

Cannabis and Salvia Divinorum

Marijuana triggered my first spiritual experience and was largely responsible for my spiritual awakening.  Salvia Divinorum demonstrated that Heaven truly exists. Naturally, I find it difficult to condemn the exploration of such drugs.

We’ve come quite a long way in accepting Cannabis.  Currently, 18 states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana, Washington and Colorado have legalized possession, and almost 30% of the nation has decriminalized possession it in some form or another.  More and more studies are demonstrating that Cannabis may offer an incredible array of medical uses, and that Hemp is a much neglected natural material.

While the health benefits of cannabis have been highly touted, little has been written of the spiritual benefits, as if it were still an inconvenient secret.  The stigma is still in place, fostered by decades of recreational abuse.  Western culture is rather schizophrenic about drugs.  We rush to the doctor for a pill to cure our ills, yet discount the possibility of spiritual growth through psychedelics.  We treat them irresponsibly, as recreation.

For example, MDMA, or Ecstasy, was initially regarded by therapists as a breakthrough tool for treating emotional and physical trauma, yet once it hit the street as a party drug, the potential for clinical use was quickly discarded, only now making an unconventional comeback.

Cannabis may yet turn out to be nature’s miracle drug; that doesn’t mean everyone should run out and smoke it.  If I’ve learned anything, it’s that different people will experience different effects.  Just because I experienced a spiritual awakening doesn’t mean someone else necessarily will.  My situation may have been unique, and when my ride had run its course, I quit.  It was no longer pleasurable.  It was never meant to be a lifestyle for me, just a spiritual journey, the impetus for awakening.

Like many people, I experimented in college, many years ago.  It was the 1980’s, and Nancy Reagan was promoting her “Just Say No” campaign.  My generation was already laughing at this simplistic slogan.  I was rather innocent at the time.  I was an honor roll student – I didn’t drink, I didn’t do drugs, and I had never had sex.  All that changed when I went away to college.

When I tell people about my early experiences smoking marijuana, they usually look at me funny like they don’t quite believe me, like the stuff I was smoking must have been laced with LSD.  And of course, I assure them that it wasn’t.  I never once hallucinated, or saw colorful visions, or thought my hands were melting.  LSD would have been way too much for me to handle.

Most users treated marijuana as light entertainment, a pleasurable way to spend a lazy afternoon.  When we smoked, my friends would giggle, but I didn’t get the joke.  My amusement was always laced with the profound.

The first several times I smoked, I experienced Gaia on a very intimate level.  I could sense energy fields all around me, especially from trees and plants.  I could sense their vibration.  Everything seemed more three-dimensional, more radiant and alive.  I felt more alive, as if I had awoken from a long sleep.  Everyday perception felt foggy, dull, and deficient in comparison.

There were many beautiful sunny days when I would lay on the grass and stare up at the clouds, when I felt something akin to Unity consciousness, completely connected to the Universe around me, experiencing endless peace and an ever-present divine love.   If marijuana had a religion, it might be a form of Pantheism, a belief that God is found in nature, that we reside within the consciousness of the Divine.  For that reason the energy feels feminine.

Image at top: Not unlike waking up on the planet Pandora, from the film Avatar.

There were days when I felt the presence of God in everything I saw and touched.  I was literally walking with God on my shoulder, and this deity taught me many things – that everything was symbolic, holding a layered meaning: that books, chairs, tables, trees, and little suburban houses all represented some larger concept that overlapped our pedestrian reality.  It was like living inside a computer program and learning a new language, a symbolic language of the subconscious mind.  Synchronicity became an everyday experience.

When I was experiencing all of this, I didn’t know anything about New Age spirituality, Synchronicity, energy fields, or Gnosticism.  I was raised with a  traditional Christian upbringing.  I didn’t have words for the things that I was experiencing, except maybe Science Fiction concepts.  It was an album by the band, The Police, “Synchronicity,” that introduced me to this term.  And yet one overriding metaphor seemed to apply to my experimentation – the Garden of Eden story, the temptation of forbidden fruit, and the gift of forbidden knowledge.  This is a major archetype of the psychedelic experience.

Cannabis has a long history of ritual use.  According to Wikipedia, its consumption dates back to 2,000 BCE, to India, China, and ancient Greece.  It was one of “five sacred plants” mentioned in the Atharva Veda.

My own spiritual lovefest with weed didn’t last very long – only a couple of months, off and on.  It’d be nice to pick up where I left off, to experience this vivid connection once again, but for the most part I’m unable to.  Brain chemistry adapts, something changes, the experience is never as good as the first few times… who knows.  What I do know is that using any psychedelic is merely the first step of a traditional initiation process into spiritual mysteries.  You can not live in that first stage of the quest forever.  You must move on.

For me, the door was permanently closed.  I was kicked out of Eden.  And then things turned dark, very dark.

There was a Shadowside to my marijuana experience.  Paranoia can, of course, be a side effect of smoking dope – one of the reasons they call it dope aside from the clumsiness, the absentmindedness, and perpetual laughter.  And my paranoia was epic.

Looking back, I was probably in touch with something dark, a negative spiritual entity.  I received this intense concept of a vast artificial intelligence that was trying to control the universe, that had imprisoned us on Earth.  Long before the film The Matrix arrived in theaters, I was experiencing it as a literal spiritual reality.  The Gnostics would have labeled this the Demiurge, the false god of the material world, of which the Archons are its minions.  I looked at nature, and I no longer felt connected and loved.  I saw darkness behind every brutal act of natural survival, a carnivorous circle of life. Everything became a crucifixion.  And this  entity was not unlike a deadly spider, tangling us in its web of lies.

matrix-squid

There was a certain Eric Clapton song on the radio now and then, called “Cocaine.”  (I had no desire to try cocaine.)  Yet one verse of the song stuck in my head.  It was significant to me.

“She don’t lie, She don’t lie, She don’t lie… cocaine.”

We used to refer to alcohol as “Spirits,” probably for a good reason.  People used to believe that you were susceptible to specific spirits when you imbibed.  Native tribes in Central America or the Amazon, who ingest peyote or some other form of psychedelic, are actively trying to connect with the spirit world, with entities attached to the drug.

There may in fact be a spirit of marijuana.  As spirits go, she is relatively harmless, she amplifies what you bring to her.  If you bring her light, she will shine a divine light.  If you bring her your darkness, she will magnify that darkness.  Yet she can be a trickster.  She will allow you to completely deceive yourself, making your illusion a grand one.  It’s a theory anyway.  I do believe we open ourselves up to the spiritual world when we ingest certain drugs which is why I often frown upon casual use.  I don’t think of it as entertainment.  My experiences tells me Cannabis is a spiritual tool, one that should be respected and used responsibly.  I wish that I had learned such respect and discipline during my brief honeymoon with marijuana.

bookcover2-smMy experiences were the source material for my fantasy novel, Season of the Serpent.  While fictional, the story is somewhat autobiographical, how I found myself surrounded by Synchronicity, propelled into a larger reality, one that I wasn’t quite ready for.  But then we’re never quite ready for transformation, until we pass through it.

I was constantly surprising myself as I wrote it, as if I were channeling something bigger than my own story.  Not Truth with a capital “T”, but rather metaphorical truth.  You may find you reach a place where the idea of truth and deception become indistinguishable, where it’s all about listening to the wisdom of your  heart, and not your head.

salvia

The only other psychedelic I have ever experimented with was Salvia divinorum, which you can still buy legally in some states, which will produce a very short hallucinatory experience.

This is definitely not a recreational drug.  People who ingest this drug report all sorts of strange experiences, from an induced out of body experience, to communicating with bizarre, multi-dimensional alien entities.  The experience typically lasts a few seconds to a minute, however the perception of time is quite a bit longer.

As most people will report, this is not a pleasant experience, so I never attempted a second trip.  I’m not sure if I ingested enough to induce a full out of body experience, but I certainly felt the unforgettable discomfort of my soul trying to break free.  The sensation itself was strangely horrific.  I felt as if I were tangled up in a web of dark cables, like black rubber bands, which were trying to prevent my consciousness from escaping my body.  It was quite unpleasant.  Yet, I was standing on the threshold, and I sensed so much that was just beyond the veil.

pearly-gatesThis was the really interesting part – I sensed that there really was a Paradise hidden on the other side, just out of sight.  I could feel the periphery of it, as if it were just beyond my grasp.  Heaven was real, and it was absolutely amazing.  Just being there would instantly cure any emotional injury or sorrow.  The people, and there was a multitude of people like a huge thriving city, were miraculously happy.  That is what I sensed, as if I were standing just outside of a fabulous nightclub where a bouncer was refusing to let me inside the VIP door.

I actually sensed the presence of some type of guardian, an invisible authoritative figure who was very gentle, yet very strict, who deliberately kept me from seeing the other side, telling me: It wasn’t meant to be.  It wasn’t my time.

I wasn’t angry about it.  For some reason, I just understood.

And that’s what I remember after quickly returning to normal reality.  Not all mysteries are meant to be solved in this lifetime.  Some are deliberately hidden from us, for our own growth.

A Recent Salvia Trip of Mine

A Recent Salvia Trip of Mine

October 27, 2014 By John Reed 1 Comment

Dose: 4 hits of Salvia Divinorum extract 10x
Method: Smoked
Body Weight: 180 lbs
Gender: Male
Age at time of experience: 19
Experience Year: 2011

The other night I drove to a secluded area outside my town to smoke some salvia. Upon arrival, there was a deer and a buck that galloped off into the distance a little. I brought a few blankets which I laid out and one I covered up with, and a pillow to lay my head on as I looked up at the star covered sky. I packed a bowl in my bong and sat there for about 3 minutes, breathing and relaxing my body, preparing for the journey. I decided it was time, I reached over for my bong and put it up to my mouth, lit the lighter and took a hit. I set the bong at my side and looked up at the stars again. My eyes got heavy and my senses diminished slowly. The visuals started to come, I saw a bright yellow wall with a blue meditating person at the bottom, kind of resembling Buddha. At first there was a single wall but it quickly become four separate walls all visible, the meditating person was 3D compared to the wall but the overall feeling was of 2D visuals for a short while. The walls became bright colorful shapes, used to create a beautiful environment. Many colors started to show and things were quite distorted in terms of organization, things were all over the place. Once the colorful visuals were all prevalent, the chanting sounds came into play. There was enthusiastic laughter and giggling that sounded as if it came from the colors and shapes themselves, sort of like everything being part of one connected mind that thought independently for itself, even inanimate objects. At this point, all things became part of one big environment that I could feel myself as part of; there was houses, plants and pretty much a city that I was in the middle of that was made of only bright shapes, mainly squares and circles. Once the visuals became most vivid, the effects started to wear off. I could feel it all diminishing, just like my senses before entering the foreign land. My physical sight started to come back and I was able to feel myself in my body again. I stayed laying on the ground with a blank expression on my face, listening to everything from cars driving in the distance to my thoughts and intuitive wisdom. I did have a blank expression and my body felt paralyzed, at least for a minute until feeling came back into my nerves, but I was in a complete state of bliss and enlightenment, the energy in my body was aligned and I could feel both my heart and mind in harmony. There was more than just thinking about what was around me, I was feeling it on a very energetic level. I had no worry, anxiety, stress or any other negative feeling. I was completely aligned in terms of energy and I was connected to the world around me. I got up and packed everything into my car once I felt feeling in all of my body, I sat in my car for a few minutes just thinking and allowing my body to fully adjust to being back in physical reality. I thought about how over confident I had felt, so I went to the corner store and bought a scratch ticket and it won (this is not the first time I have won on tickets right after using salvia). Earlier that day I had smoked a little salvia and went to buy a scratch ticket and I ended up winning on two tickets in a row, which only helped me maintain my state of mind and understand the harmony of my heart and mind. The experience that night was beyond enlightening; salvia divinorum is an amazing tool for obtaining nirvana and expanding consciousness.

My First Salvia Trip

My First Salvia Trip

wavatar

October 20, 2014 By John Reed 1 Comment

Dose: 3-4 hits of  Salvia Divinorum extract 20x
Method: Smoked
Body Weight: 173 lbs
Gender: Male
Age at time of experience: 25
Experience Year: 2010 

I have tried Salvia divinorum dozens of times, each time trying my best to understand what is happening in my mind and my body; I can say from experience that understanding what is happening allows the affects to become more profound and enlightening. My first salvia experience was completely unexpected, I am sure most people who have tried it can relate to that feeling. I was unprepared for the sudden journey my mind was about to embark on, shifting into a unique dimension of the universe.

For my first experience, I was with 4 friends and my stepbrother Mason. We went to a park that had all kinds of trails and we found a nice grassy spot under a tree to smoke. Keep in mind that my first experience had more hallucinogenic perception effects, the time frame in which my mind was in another place was not vivid or perceived consciously. So, I packed a bowl of salvia 20x and took a hit. The term “unprepared” doesn’t even come close to the feeling of my experience. The effects kicked in fast, roughly around 15 seconds, maybe even less. I remember Mason throwing a lighter at me and asking if I was alright, probably because at that point my eyes widened and I was entering a trance, feeling the shift from physical reality into an extreme level of connectedness to the things around me. Within the first minute my mind was in another place so I had no perceptions of physical reality, the first couple minutes was blank but I learned later that Mason had picked me up and tried to get me to walk, which was not a good idea. I had no control over my body and when using salvia, it is not a good idea to do anything but sit back, relax and stay calm. Well they struggled to keep me up and continued to bring me back to the car. After about 5 minutes my visionary perception came back, I was being held up by Mason, who was to my left; to my right was my friend recording me with his phone. Another not so good idea for a salvia experience, being recorded affects your experience greatly. I felt Mason, not on a physical level but on a mental level. I could feel his energy which was a unique feeling but when I looked to my right and saw the phone, my mind got stuck on repeat. Everything started playing over and over. I saw the orange trees, the cement path under my feet, to my far right in my peripheral vision was a muddy stream and a log. There was roughly a frame of 1 second that I saw all those things and within my mind I saw that 1 second scene repeating probably hundreds of times and when the repetition started a voice was with it, repeating. After the scene repeated for however long it did, I started to think again and the effects were still happening so my thoughts were not completely clear. I felt like the entire city of Merced had come to watch me walk around the park over and over and I was some kind of entertainment for everyone, the feeling wasn’t the most pleasant but everything was bright and had a positive vibe to it. By the time we got back to the car, the effects were wearing off and I felt myself coming back into physical reality. Mason was freaking out trying to explain what I was doing but my mind still had to come back completely. He was in a hurry to get me home so we ended up leaving 2 friends at the park, I got home and passed right out. The experience would have been much better if Mason and my friends had more control over the situation and did not freak out and try to get me up and moving. Later, when I thought back to the experience, it was very enlightening. An experience so different than everyday life, a shift in consciousness and expansion of mind.

My first experience wasn’t the best it could have been, but I did not let that fear prevent me from trying it again. I did more research and strived to understand what was happening and it led me to trying it again and having a much better experience. Once I realized that relaxing was the key to having a good experience, I started using salvia a lot and over time I learned more about the effects both mentally and physically.

I have had many more experiences. The first experience is always be most memorable in my opinion. My experiences were much different after the first. Now my experiences are much more dimensional based, when I use salvia now I can feel things, not just perceive their existence but actually feel their energy, in trance and out of trance. Now, I feel the physiological and psychological changes. I feel my emotions completely stable, the energy in my body balanced and my heart and mind harmonized. When I come out of trance and I am back in physical reality, I have no negative feelings such as worry, anxiety, frustration, Etc. but I feel everything positive, I feel connected to everything around me and in turn I do not emit any negative emotions that would destabilize that harmony and connectedness.

The Outdoor Connect – A Salvia Trip

The Outdoor Connect – A Salvia Trip

July 4, 2014 By John Reed Leave a Comment

Dose: 2 gram of  Salvia Divinorum extract 20x
Method: Smoked
Body Weight: 170
Gender: Male
Age at time of experience: 30
Experience Year: 2014 

Equipment and Trip Preparation: Just used my glass pipe and a butane torch as equipment. Knew a website I could buy salvia from without fuss so I ordered some up, of the 20x persuasion. Took the day off work, cleaned up the yard and set up my trip area a little, brought out something to play music on. Turned off my alarms and electronics. Put on my light weight waterproof watch and some standard Sunday relaxing t-shirt and shorts combination. I knew what the after-effects would probably feel like so I made some lemonade for later. I brought some pillows outside too in case I didn’t feel like moving for awhile

Mental Status and Environment: Some people like me with low stress life styles (no kids or wife) and easy enough jobs don’t have enough stuff to push them towards a big change. I have used Salvia before to soul search and just for fun, it always takes me deep. I like looking at who I truly am, even if I’m a pretty normal guy I know I have so much potential to unlock beyond my surface.

Tripping inside is very safe in my experience, and that is my go to environment. This time I wanted more, so I went outside. I took my preparation of dry salvia extract , my pipe, my favorite butane torch and sat down in my backyard hammock. It was warm outside but not too uncomfortable for me, I would probably get a little sweaty on the trip anyways.

Dosage: An oversized lump of the 20x salvia extract went into my pipe.

My Salvia Trip:

Salvia Trip - HammockInitial response – I lay back onto my hammock. Totally taken aback by my decision to smoke salvia at all.. I feel like I am transforming in the hammock. I feel like I am becoming electrically connected to it. I’m used to the heavy sinking feelings and I just go deep. There are birds chirping and wildlife springing around me, and I feel them slipping away as I get deeper and deeper into the hammock cocoon. Bright spring light drifts between the branches and leaves shading my hammock. It goes a little dark from there..

Looked at my watch, must have been about 4 minutes had passed. Tried to grab my pipe to smoke more if I had not finished off the bowl. Didn’t know if I wanted to get a more intense trip but I Leaned over and nearly fell out of the hammock. Let out a laugh but my voice was gone. I felt the dirt almost touch my fingers. My backyard was like a warm womb, I just closed my eyes and considered what it might look like in my mind.

I fought the sleepy eyes for awhile, the trip was becoming a nap session in the garden rather than soul searching. I couldn’t look inside when the backyard was so open and the nature was almost consuming. I felt like I was becoming a part of my hammock.patio - Salvia Trip

There was a new connection to my surroundings I had not felt before tripping. This was the feeling I was missing, connection and concern for the nature of reality. Not some room with books and lamps.

Eventually, and I cannot remember why, but I made it out of the hammock and into the grass beneath. I layed in the grass then. I never got the boombox on but I was content enough until the sunset and bugs started biting. With a ton of effort, I remember it was really hard – I got myself inside and enjoyed the lemonade I made earlier that day and went off to sleep.

The space between  – A Salvia Trip

The space between – A Salvia Trip

wavatar

June 25, 2014 By John Reed 2 Comments

Dose: 5 hits of Salvia Divinorum extract 15x
Method: Smoked
Body Weight: 120 lbs
Gender: Female
Age at time of experience: 21
Experience Year: 2014

Trip Preparations:
It was about to be my 21st  birthday. I lived with several roommates who liked to party on the weekends and sometimes we would trip together on different substances. I decided it was time for me to trip alone, I wanted to see if it would turn out differently if there were not other people involved.

My house was in a normal suburb neighbourhood with other homes 40 feet away or so. I went to buy salvia one afternoon on a whim because I never really got to trip seriously on it. Before, I had combined it with other drugs, which I don’t recommend. This time I bought 15x salvia extract for my own personal use and I only told one other person I had it and when I planned on using it.

For this trip I planned on smoking salvia out of a glass water bong in my room. I bought more than I needed, I really wanted to trip this time. I had smoked other herbs before but never felt like real mind bending things were happening. I planned on staying in my room but left the option open to explore my house if I needed to.

The roommates were gone for the night. I wanted to explore my house and my mind while tripping, it seemed like a safer space than my garden or outside roaming around. I put up all the breakable lamps and electronics I might fall on or stumble over or try to play with. I got out some blank pieces of paper for drawing if I wanted to, some colored pencils too.

Mood and Atmosphere:

Salvia Trip preparationI decided to do the deal at dusk, my favorite time of day. There were no annoying birds chirping or yucky feelings from having stayed up all night. I left out some paper like I said, and some colored pencils and some stuffed animals. My mood was playful and curious. There was some debate if I should leave some music on or some silly movie.

Would I finally lose interest in my childlike cartoon loving stoner world and get into some serious soul searching? I tried to be open minded but I thought if I felt anything at all it would probably be more of the same, I was pretty wrong. I really thought this would be like smoking weed.

Dosage: Packed the deep bowl of my water bong loosely with the 15x extract, I seriously fit two grams in that beast. Then I took like 3 small hits and finally forced two more big hits.

My Experience: The first hit I didn’t feel different. Just normal me in my yoga pants and tank top, still in one piece with my eager lighter still in my hand. I took another hit, I felt like I was in my own dream all the sudden, no longer in reality. This dream like state could only be great I figured so I took another hit. There were some electric feelings connecting me to the ground at this point. I was connected to the room grid.

I paused after these three short hits. Should I smoke more? this was the only thought I could manage to complete. Or at least that’s all I remember. It wasn’t like when you’re addicted to something and you have to have more, it was like.. how far down the rabbit hole should I go. I can see now how my childhood was still coursing through me at this point.

I was excited and feeling a little perspiration. I looked around my room, tried to stay awake in my own dream. The white paper beneath me was so bright, everything was bright, I felt eager like so eager I was warm and smiling so much my eyes were trying to close because my cheeks were so raised from smiling. It felt like time was flying, like the sunset was going to last forever. I managed two more hits before I was incapacitated by the trip.

So I had taken 5 hits that I can recall. The last two were to put the nails in the coffin, not in a scary or bad way but I really wanted to feel something. This was the only time I tasted anything, the smoke was bitter but the taste did not linger. There were minutes of what could be described at meditation after this. I wanted to keep my eyes open but that’s not what happened. I was sitting on my floor and I just closed my eyes and laid down. I rolled over with my face on the ground and stayed there for what felt like forever. The sun was past the treeline by the time I opened my eyes. I had just seen inside myself and it was empty and dark but totally liberating. I could do anything now. I wasn’t who I thought I was.

I looked up, still laying flat on my stomach and I stared at my blank paper that I had laid out.. 10 minutes had gone by according to my wall clock. What a scary amount of time to be face down on my floor in any other circumstance but it was perfect this time. Instead of picking up a pencil I saw my life in between the paper and the ground. I saw the space between things in my room. The books on the shelf nearby also had the same kind of space between them. I was getting into this part of my trip where I felt like my breath was creating space and life in everything around me. I understood that air I had in my lungs was filling space between things, between sheets of paper and books and sheets on my bed and even between a lamp and the desk.

Sometimes I touched things. I only made very small and controlled movements but when I did this it felt like I was misbehaving, the sweat and humidity was giving my fingers a sticky feeling so I only nudged stuff. Like moving paperclips nearby to a more pleasing parallel arrangement. Geometric shapes were surrounding me, the angles were so complimentary to how I was feeling.

This whole experience was becoming a reality check. I felt the salvia effects weighing me down physically with knowledge. The seriousness of the world had just been awoken in me. The trip lasted about 30 minutes before I felt like I couldn’t see the space between everything so clearly. My eyes were readjusting to reality. I was feeling introspective again. I stopped looking around my room and sat on my twin size bed next to my stuffed animals. I’m lucky I didn’t knock over my bong when I got up because it was not easy to get back on the bed. Standing up straight was very very weird.

When I got introspective again it was more of an after effect. I sat on my bed and considered the trip but more so I was caught up with missing the heavy feeling, the electric feeling of being connected to everything in my room. There was this lingering thought that I was a new person and I felt some anxiety from the growth spurt.

I felt confidence that I had made the right decision to trip alone in my house at sunset. I felt like the spiritual awakening was more scientific than religious. The after effects flooded my body for an hour, but I laid on my bed for a lot longer until I needed some water and a shower. I tried to focus on feeling positive, on thinking positive stuff and being kind to myself. The new perspective I had gained was heavy but enlightening, the scary exploring of my room had brought a new level of truth to my mind. There was an appreciation for the space between things I didn’t have before.

Salvia Trip Preparations:

It has been at least 10 years since I used Salvia, but a friend reminded me of that night and we decided to prepare ourselves again. Having a free weekend, and having seen it around available at local shops our interest was seriously peaked. With my new interest in it, I did some searching and found a spot online to buy salvia, 5 grams of unstandardized 10x. The 5 grams was more than I needed but I wanted to be able to share if my friend really wanted to join me. I would also have some extra if I needed more from not smoking enough. When the time came we bought the 10x extract, split the cost so we planned on splitting the batch.

Mood and Atmosphere:

Quiet - Salvia Trip Salvia Trip - duskI decided it was best to have a buddy for this. My friend and I went onto my private back patio, we were alone in my house, and there we packed the bowls. We sat down on some comfy folding chairs, the kind for tailgating or taking to a festival. The atmosphere was pretty normal, just another back patio hangout It was after sunset and felt sort of damp. The porch was covered and screened in so no bugs or creatures could interrupt the trip. No neighbors were nearby either to distract us.

The house inside was not lit, just a candle on the back patio illuminated us. We both had brought our own bowl to use, using the most clean bowls we had so we didn’t accidentally combine any drugs. We decided to go in together, lighting up and smoking the entire bowl at the same time. It only took a few hits to burn through it.

Dosage: I packed 1 gram into my bowl, he might have packed a little more or less but we did not compare before going in.

My Salvia Trip Experience:

Initial response – The beginning of the trip, the effect is hard to describe. it was dark out and it felt like I could feel the earth slowly spinning and my mind go to darkness. I did not feel my body at this time. It was not that I was without sensation but the sensation was absence of my body. Mentally, I knew the candle was burning in front of me and I could hear some animal noise in the distance. I was still at my house but everything was so dark and still it was like time was frozen.

After the initial feeling of darkness – 5 minutes into the trip. Of course I wanted to ask my friend how he was feeling but I could not find the words to form a proper sentence to ask him out loud. I felt curious and lost in a good and simple way. I quickly stopped caring what he was feeling and started trying to keep some ground. I was not sure if the earth was going to disappear. Because I did not believe my feet would support me in the darkness. I started imagining walking into my house, taking the trip in my mind rather than physically getting up.

I could not get up to go into my house. Also, there was no chance of me making it over to my friend who was on the other side of the patio in his own chair and having his own trip. We would both sit there until we cared to talk about how we were feeling. His eyes were closed. I was cold and dark and comfortable and I projected that was how he was feeling too. I am lucky I stayed in my chair.

The urge to get up went away, I just sat in my chair and tried for a minute to close my eyes and keep them closed. Mostly I tried to go with the motion I was feeling as the earth moved. I reached an acceptance of my surroundings. My location did not change but I felt like I was moving and it was pleasant. The sounds came and went but I felt quiet inside, I did not miss the sounds when they left. Darkness did not feel scary, I closed my eyes with all the strength I had to make for a more intense trip and then I was floating.

The floating went on for 5-8 minutes, that was as long as I could keep my eyes shut. Then, opening my eyes I tried to make out shapes again. It was not hard readjusting to the light of the candle or the atmosphere. I had gone a little cold from staying so stiff in my chair and I was feeling warmed up a little, slightly damp from the humidity outside. I played with my mouth a little, opening my jaw and feeling how different it felt, like I had been a stone statue for years. I looked down to make sure I was still attached to my chair and the patio.

15 Minutes in – Scanning slowing, I checked to see if anything was out of place, everything seemed fine except for the lighter on the ground I must have dropped. I checked for the candle and it was low as a puddle of wax has melted around the wick. The low light alerted me a little, I did not want to be in total darkness now I had the feeling in my limbs back. I looked to my friend, his eyes were still closed and he was smiling. We greeted each other and stewed in our chairs stretching.

The most notable effects wore off after 15 minutes – I had not smoked salvia enough for the more intense effects, and I decided it was a fine time to go inside for a lay on the couch. I stumbled through the dark kitchen and into my living room, I left the patio sliding door open for my friend to follow. I sat down on the couch and looked at my ceiling. It was incredibly satisfying to stare up at it, these were the after effects. Like I had just gotten to know myself at a deeper level and felt some of that inner peace. There was a dark and quiet peace for some time after that and eventually I yelled for my friend to come inside and he rested in the lazy boy nearby.

We did not speak but rested for another 15 minutes. After that it was late enough to go to sleep. No dreams after the trip, just a very deep sleep. It was an intense feeling, much more than the first trip I had taken, similar to the first time I did not get up and move around much. It was peaceful and insightful and very quiet.
