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:
Initial 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.
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.

I 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.
