I think the moral of the high every time I've done salvia, isn't something I remember vividly, it's just the feeling that the observations and experiences that aid sentience are only a contrived reality. And not in just philosophical manner, you actually understand this concept.

I've yet to try this, but I'm very curious. According to this site (http://www.erowid.org/experiences/), which is an interesting compendium of various drug experiences, bad trips are very common with salvia. Seems like the kind of drug you want to experience when your head is in a comfortable, low stress space.
I won't be doing this anytime soon.

I can't remember if you're one of VideoSift's fellow former "psychonaughts" but I'll tell you, salvia is nothing like weed, shrooms, or acid.
It hits really fast and it's very disorienting. You don't really learn anything from it, either, and I always learned a little something from the other stuff.



No argument.

I think I'm more sensitive and observant than most, but for me, there's nothing in the land of salvia that will guide me to a greater understanding.

Every time I've done it, whether it's the 5x or the 20x I once survived (joke/not joke) it feels like something is screwing the back side of my head off, and I feel like I'm being watched, and the world around me melts into a scatological dreamscape of absurdity and meaninglessness. No music, no art, no understanding, no insights.

I can't say the same for weed, shrooms, or acid.

yeah it's moved to the tainted webfolk, who need to use their powers for good and not with what they have been programmed with....Perhaps a drum circle or some recycling...Stop the poison-Plant a tree and watch it grow instead of television-teach your children that information is what you can take in with your 8 senses-smoke more pot, eat more shrooms ,max out your credit cards and refuse all phone calls and correspondence on the matter....

Thanks, but I'll stick with weed and shrooms.

Here's my description of what doing salvia is like.

The first time smoking, it was like I was being flattened out by a huge rolling pin from my legs upward. Not terribly pleasant.

The second time, the extreme physical effects are reduced but walking through a room was like walking through water. Everything happens just a bit slower. Still not very pleasant. The only good thing about it: the smoke smells nice.

I don't plan on doing it a third time. Choose weed. or shrooms.

I wouldn't want facts to get in the way of Shroom's asshattery, but all of the cases that I've heard of have been traced back to people vacationing in Mexico.

Not that all of these are in my rotation, but asking "which is your favorite" is kinda like asking "what's your favorite aspect of life?". Each state of mind is useful/entertaining and valuable; each is a part of the same puzzle.

Oh, and I think that the upcoming perfect poll should substitute "psychedelics", yes the entire pantheon, for "shrooms".
Oh+, don't forget to add "food". All of us use this to modulate our mental state, whether we have noticed it yet or not.

It is a hard thing to say, but yes, I need drugs sometimes.
Sometimes I need a beer. Sometimes I need a shot of tequila or scotch. Sometimes I just need a little buzz. Sometimes I want to tie one on and get a little crazy.
Weed especially helps me and I need that. It picks me up and gives my world a different perspective. It puts me into the groove and everything I do, whether it's writing poetry, drawing cartoons, or washing the dishes, becomes a little more magical. And I hate having to sneak around to find it.
LSD, shrooms, ex, yeah, I need those sometimes, too. I need to get away and get out. I need a peek into the other side.

Weed does tend to enhance your natural talents and abilities. I remember when I used to smoke daily. I'd pack a bowl before going into a calculus exam. It really lets you "see" things that may not be apparent. Once you're in that groove you're unstoppable. Unfortunately it can lead to complacency and general laziness (at least in me). I'm kind of glad I quit, but it'd be nice to have that ability on occasion. Plus I miss how music sounds while I'm on it, the best ever...maybe with the exception of LSD but you're pretty much useless on that.
