Diviner's Sage

[sifer]

Before I go on, let me state that I have never done any sort of drug in my life (never did or smoked), I don't drink much alcohol, because I was raised that way plus I lift weight and need to keep a healthy body.

I was talking to a friend about it and turns out he seems to be a user of this particular leaf called Diviner's Sage. He was telling me how there are barely any side effect, however upon reading about it - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvia_divinorum

There are controversies about it, I am curious as to how this work? Why would one say there are no side effect, the other touting how dangerous it is?

I would actually try and put this effect into my journal if I ever do try it. I want to know if anyone has ever tried it? What exactly am I looking at here if I try and smoked these?

i asked a similar post about a year ago if you wanna search for it. I didn't get much response. I thought about taking salvia a few times and I have read everything i could find on it. I suggest lots of research. I never ended up trying it. I tried to buy some but my local place was out.

Ooh, SALVIA ?

Tried it once........ if you don't smoke pot then why would you consider this ? Its actually legal here in Ontario, Canada ...but not too common.

Its basically a messed up version of pot. Smoke it, give it a minute, then trip out hard....everything is hysterical, your rollin on the ground for no apparent reason, but it soon wears off and turns into a high similar to pot. The End.

Nothing like pot.

I had a bad trip from it when I tried. I could see the "sketch" of everyone. Imagine the sketches that a comic artist makes before he adds the details, thats how I saw everyone. Its like I saw God's preliminary drawings. The bad stuff happened when everything went 2D (like a sketch pad) and my friends were being ripped off the paper. Was put off from drugs for a while after that.

The stuff is pretty goofy.

You have to have a "spotter". Basically, one person is there to cool you out if you start freaking. Um... it's one of those things where you want to do it in the company of people you trust and in an environment where you feel comfortable - otherwise you will have a bad trip. Like any "trip", it's very subject to mood and location. Don't do it in public, don't do it around shady peeps: you will lose control, and if you fight it, you'll freak. If you go with it and know you'll be fine, good times.

I tried it for the first time with my aunt and uncle (cool, eh?) sitting in the grass next to a campfire. My uncle claimed to have gotten lost running around "inside himself". Me, well, I melted. I started doing backflips, and when that stopped, I couldn't let go of anything... because I melted to it. Damn grass is sticky stuff!

Another time, I was in the living room with a couple of friends. Everything started swirling and pulling into me like I was a black whole, again melting into everything. I kind of got snapped out that trip because my friends started laughing at me when I was trying to swat away the music. That damn music is sticky stuff!

That's alright, my friend smoked up, he got to laugh some more - I've never heard anyone laugh as crazy as that guy did. Scary, maniacal laughing.

Anyway, everyone trips different on that stuff - hence the "spotter". Sit down, preferably on the ground or floor, otherwise you will likely fall down. Basically, when you first smoke, it's a little buzzy until suddenly sh!t goes bonkers. Then, after a few minutes, you have a high sort of like weed. The trip wears off shortly, which is cool to keep in mind if you are rookie: especially if you are having a bad trip - it will be over soon. It sounds scary, but it's a rush if you use it "safely". If you get stupid and use it alone, then go running out in the street, or do it while driving, then yeah - unsafe, duh. Have one person at a time have their trip, without a loaded gun in your hand, and you'll be fine. Use some sense.
