Something You Should Definitely Not Do...

Salvia.

Just so you people know, I do not smoke marijuana or do any kinds of drugs. After checking the legality of Salvia I thought I'd give it a shot. Some good friends all said that they just laughed really hard and that the "high" lasted only about 2-10 minutes.


Salvia divinorum, an extract which is legal in Texas as of this moment seemed like a neat thing to do the other night. Oh Lord. BAD IDEA.

Apparently Salvia comes in a few different strengths. I think it comes in 20X, 40X, and 60X. Smart Phil decided to try a little bit of 60X salvia.

So after creating a makeshift bong out of a Dr. Pepper bottle I sat down on the couch at a friend's house. With some friends around to make sure I didn't eat a kitten or dig a hole in the kitchen I lit up and inhaled a nice blast of 60X Salvia divinorum.


As I hand the bong away the room started shifting UP as if my eyes were rolling downwards and I had to keep it from flying away. Then everything turned into tiny pinpoints of light. Then ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. It SUCKED.

For one reality ceased to exist completely. Waves upon waves of hopelessness and despair just washed over me, and all I wanted was to make it stop. But of course I was stupid and decided to try this crap and it was gonna be in me for a bit. I felt as if what I was seeing was all that there ever would be and I couldn't get out of the damn feeling. The world was black and white and it was all just static rolling upwards. I melted into the couch. I felt like I was doing flips. I couldn't feel my body or smell anything. Objects kept changing form and flattening. The worst part was when everything became 2D. What the hell. Why is everything 2D. I feel like I've been flattenedi into a sheet of paper and I'm in a drawing. I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream, but nope! OWNED! I felt like a little druggy punk who had just realized that he had OD'd. I tried to talk, I could get bits of words out but not anything intelligent. I tried wiping what I assume was drool from the corner of my mouth and trying again and again but nothing would happen. I could hear my friends talking but since I was part of the couch and they were smudges of color nothing made sense. I heard "Stop freaking out," "you're going to be fine," and "it's only going to last a few minutes." Trying to take consolation in my friends and realizing that the feeling was just getting stronger and not going away I asked the time again. 5 minutes. A longer feeling than what I heard from everyone else. My vision became like watching TV static with channels just barely getting through. STOP. STOP. NOW. Nope, you're stuck buddy. You're screwed. I wanted the feeling to stop so badly I apparently mentioned the word "hospital."

I asked the time again since I kept sinking into the couch. The sound of "tr" from trouble and "sp" from the word hospital kept echoing in my head and for some reason it was my main focus. I felt like I wanted to go to sleep but I didn't want to because I was so scared that I wouldn't wake up.

Does it sound fun? IT WAS NOT. At one point it felt like nothing mattered and I wanted to kill myself. Suicidal? That's not me at all. Every negative feeling in the world was just amplified a hundred fold. Fear, Guilt, Sadness, Anger. It was as if the feeling of joy would never come back to me.

I ask a friend how long it had been. 35 minutes. THIRTY FIVE MINUTES. I was panicking out. Never have I heard of anyone tripping out for that long on Salvia. 45 minutes. What if I messed up my brain and this is what it was forever? More fear and more sadness. More hate at myself for ever trying this crap. At about the one hour mark the feeling started to dissipate slowly. People actually began to come back into focus. I still felt cold and I had to have a blanket over me. My muscles would not quit tensing up.

At about an hour and 15 minutes I was able to talk normally and realize that the feeling was going away and that I was going to be alright.

I may have been one of those few who get the feeling of dysphoria when smoking salvia. Maybe not. But for an hour of my life I went through hell. I won't ever be trying it again. EVER. No, screw that, I'll never be trying ANY hallucinogen or other drug ever again.

So that was my salvia experience. The worst hour of my entire life. It's going to be illegal soon with effects like that. I guarantee it. I am NOT glad I tried that. Haha, which reminds me! Somebody said to me as I was coming down from my experience that I should be a spokesperson for D.A.R.E. Most definitely.


I wouldn't recommend Salvia to anyone. Ever. I feel good now though! Sheesh! I mostly feel good because I know I'm not gonna be suckered into trying drugs in the future. It would really suck to be addicted to LSD or Acid or something. Hell, I hear Acid trips last like 13 hours. F that.


Alright peeps, it's New Year's Eve and I gotta look pimp. L8rz.




Drug free is the way to be!
