Re: Salvia?
Ok...I've done Salvia and had a pretty insane "trip" from it. Story time...
As the consummate "psychonaught" I was at a PHiSh or maybe Trey solo show at SPAC in saratoga (perfect timing for this story as I'm listening to the man play SPAC as I write this via someone holding up their phone and broadcasting over mixlr! but I digress). So yeah, SPAC...I was walking around checking out the scene and someone was giving out Salvia samples. I took one of the "really strong" samples after having a brief chat with the guy who asked me about my drug experience which wasn't too crazy compared to my peers, but in hindsight, I've lost my mind more than a couple of times. In any event, I put the thing in my pocket and went on with my life.
It wasn't until a LONG time later, I wanna even say over a year or something that I was in my apt my now wife in NYC and was itching to get high (sounds bad when I say it, but it was the truth) and I had nothing. In my desperation (again, sounds bad, but oh well) I went digging for some buds or scraps or something and stumbled across the salvia sample. I figured it was nothing and would do nothing, after all someone gave it to me for free....so I stuffed it into a 2 ft glass bong and proceeded to get that thing milky white before pulling the full hit in and holding it and before I had put the bong down I was FULL ON IN IT!!!!
BOOM - SLAM - KAPOW - I was peaking in a trip that was like I had taken 3 hits of acid. It was INTENSE. Especially to go from sober to that within seconds of exhaling the smoke. I must've immediately shown that I was fucked up cause my girl (wife now) noticed, she was not into partying like me and didn't really even smoke at the time and certainly hadn't tripped or wasn't looking to do this salvia thing with me. She asked if I was okay almost immediately. She had the weather channel on and it was storm stories or some shit and they were talking about some crazy storm from history and it seemed like a live report to me so I started to freak out about this killer storm that was reaching land.
Having realized that I was now in a trip, I tried to pull my shit together and just kinda pushed everything off and asked to be alone to get myself together...and my girl was worried so she obviously did the opposite...ended up getting into a little fight and me deciding I needed a walk to figure out what was going on. The intense part of the trip lasted all of 3 or 4 minutes but the after effect confusion lingered for the rest of the night. By the time the fight happened and I took my walk I was already back in sane-ish mind so I knew I was okay to be out in public, but when that first hit...I was NOT ok. It was instant heaviest peak trip I've ever experienced. A good buddy of mine that I used to do PHiSh tour with also tried it once and had a similar intense but brief experience.
As for Salvia...I wouldn't really recommend it. If you are big into psychadelics, sure...then I'd say give it a go, but if you are scared of acid and mushrooms, this is WAY more intense. Granted, I did it wrong. You aren't supposed to take a bong hit of the strongest variation...I think you are supposed to take a one hitter of it, but still. If this happened to me, it is safe to think a similar thing can happen. I will say, all the crazy youtube videos of people jumping out of windows and stuff...I get it. Totally. If that's something you are seeking, then it delivers.
As for "kids" and drugs...we all need to figure this life thing out for ourselves. There is enough information out there to see what could happen if things go wrong and there are plenty of movies and what not that glorifies it so there is enough info out there to know that fun can be had. 20something year old girl 2 doors down from me died from heroin about 6 months ago...and that's a pretty common story these days, so whatever you do in life, go in eyes open. I did my drug experimenting through late high school and college and after college it was more of hey I just like to smoke a joint on the regular. I went a little wild, but it is what it is. I'm fine now, productive and functional member of society with a wife, 2 kids and a great job. Most of my college drug friends are now doctors and surgeons and also moderately to extremely successful. And yes, there are a few stories of drug friends who never got it together and their lives just suck...it's all a fine line. Whatever you choose to do, own it and understand whether you dabble and keep it under control or lose grap and destroy your life...it's all up to you...
