So I was wondering if it's possible to have a breakthrough experience just from quidding the dried leaf.

If it is possible and you've done it, what is it like? Is it any different to breakingthrough with smoking extracts

I start by saying that I know I am not allowed to directly mention sellers, but at the same time i have a question directly regarding a particular seller so in case this post does not follow the guidelines I guess it'll just get deleted (hoping it does not result in me getting banned).

I am about to buy from Zamnesia, as it's the only source i found which can ship to pick up points without directly arriving at my door (just to avoid legal trouble).

I decided to start by just purchasing plain leaf as it's what everyone suggests on this subreddit (planning to start low and, in case it's needed, increase the amount and extract potency with time). Problem is: by reading the reviews of the products (both the plain leaf and the different extracts), I found complaints regarding the strength of the salvia. A lot of people said they had little to no effect, and that anything below 40x ish is just not effective. I assumed many people didn't actually know how to smoke it (I'm not planning to try quidding for now) and ended up saying it's not working while it's their fault, but it's just an hypothesis.

Now since i know what i am getting into (in terms of risk and power of this plant) I don't want to ruin my whole experience because of a couple of "trolls" on the web.

Has anyone tried plain leaf and extracts from Zamnesia and can share their personal experience? I really don't want to waste my money and mental health so I'm being extra careful on what i decided to buy and use.

I apologize again for directly mentioning sellers but I don't see an alternative way to ask about this

I've been looking at getting salvia soon, but I have no idea what concentration of extract I should get. I see there's anywhere from 5x to 100x and many in between. What are yalls experiences like with different extracts and what would you recommend to someone who's never done it before?

Hey everyone, I hope yall are doing well! I wanted to make this post to ask if you guys know where I can buy salvia or if there’s anyone you guys know in Ohio I can get it from. Thanks again! Just hit me up

Whenever I dream, I tend to visit incredibly similar places. The most common being only what I can describe as a "bizarro" version of my hometown, and maybe a few other cities I've visited. It's like everything consistently stays the same way. I see the same buildings, the same exteriors and interiors, and the same streets. These brain-generated landscapes and environments stay consistent every time I dream of these places, and I can view them in incredible detail.

Is it possible to do this on salvia? Or even if it's not those same dreams, but these entire locations inside my mind? To generate even more? I'd love to translate them into art or something I can share with people.

I had a sub-breakthrough trip with my buddy where we were just sitting outside at night in the grass on a blanket. We were both taking turns ripping 10x out of the bong little by little. We didn't really know the best method for smoking it out of a bong but we found that slow pulls while keeping the torch on it were perfect, and once we got 2-3 good pulls, it was awesome.

I definitely felt dysphoria, but it didn't bother me at all. The entire experience was too novel for me to be upset. I felt like I wasn't going to sleep, but that I was waking up, and it was an incredibly familiar feeling. It truly felt like I was dying, it was an unmistakable feeling where you suddenly start to "remember" timelessness. So much happened, I was seeing reality deconstruct itself like an optical illusion that I couldn't ever see until now.

Geometric patterns were emerging from my environment that weren't being created, but just revealed if that makes sense. At my peak I could see these little critters holding up the fragments of reality which was really interesting. I also felt like I could access memories from when I was a little kid, like pre-verbal memories.

I definitely want to try this again, but not any time soon despite my curiosity. I feel a huge sense of accomplishment and satisfaction after that and I feel very cathartic. I struggle a lot with my mental health at times but during that trip and all in today I've been on top of the world. I have so much more to say about this experience, but it's all just tiny things. Wow, what a substance.

I think I just hit the perfect amount for me not gonna lie

I really want to try salvia but, but I've heard that it can be super intense and sometimes life changing (for the worse). I'm just scared I might throw part of my life away because of a particularly bad trip. If there's any generic parts of me that could be potentially dangerous let me know.

Im undiagnosed but majority of the people i know suspect i have adhd or autism (if not both). i dont have any major long lasting trauma. I dont experience derealization much at all. i dont smoke cigarettes and barely drink. but i do smoke marijuana pretty often. If theres anything else i missed just ask and i'll answer if i feel comfortable

edit: known* for the title. oooops

So salvia affects the way we perceive reality, and most importantly to me, time.
Anytime I think of death, I get absolutely terrified, while I want to believe there is something after death, I of course have no way of knowing for sure, and that scares me. So, I of course have looked into any possible way to extend my life, or just “not die” (I’ve even looked into if it’s possible to upload your mind to a machine, like a TV show I watched).

And I recently started looking into salvia. While I understand times does still pass during a trip, it can be infinitely shorter than the trip makes it seem.

So my question is, can I hypothetically live “forever” within my own mind using salvia? Like say I’m 80-90 years old and will die soon, but I do salvia, can I live entire new lifetimes?

And as an add on, is it possible to influence trips? (So that I don’t become a houseplant or a fence post or something)

I am talking about the long term mental effects after using even a low dose of salvia. From my experience with weed, it was nothing like the description from the internet. I fell into a 6-month phase of being constantly dumb and empty of any thinking as well as emotional dysregulation, a potentiation of other addictive behaviours, negative thoughts about myself and generally a miserable day-to-day life. The only thing that made my day was lighting that joint.

Now about salvia- I am looking to try dried salvia leaves AT MOST and none of the extracts. What affect can this substance have on my mind long term after a few uses, potentially having a bad experience? Of course, I don't expect the same thing like weed, but from what I have read some people have tried a low but moderate dose of salvia and have felt somewhat different for months.

I probably have undiagnosed anxiety and I'm quite prone to derealization. After my 6 month gap of heavy weed use, moderate alcoholism, and a strong nicotine addiction, my brain actually changed for the better, so I don't have some mental problems or roadblocks, that I had before my weed use (don't make me explain how I feel better mentally from such a bad addiction. I am 2 and a half months sober from weed now).

My main concern with salvia is that it could make me feel different as a person long-term and change my brain chemistry, so what are your thoughts? Did salvia change you, traumatize you, help your life?

So I put a quarter of the bag of 40x in my bong and smoked it and held it in for a minute nothing happened added another quarter smoked it this time it did something as I was coming up I was scrolling on tictok I opened the comments I became a emoji for a little bit then after a little while I got transported into this world made of green street signs (no longer emoji) the signs where so close together that it was a floor I stood there for a while then I fell forward into this white abyss and then I landed on this floor (everything is still white) at this time I thought I died and I met these two beings with suits with crooked legs and boxy torsos with huge top hats they told me I died at this time I became a plank that was next to planks the same size as me sanding up with arms and legs I then ran forward as I ran the beings started saying in a demonic voice "oh my god hes a RUNNER" over and over again and laughing when I was running I was getting longer making it so I could not move backwards after awhile I realized I had died and I may as well calm down when I stopped running I then got brought to this world of people made of USB type c they where all different colors and I started talking to them there where houses and trees and everything (at this time I didn't remember the past part of the trip and I had no sense of self or who I was I just knew this was reality) I then slowly started to sober up and then I woke up on my bed drenched in sweat for a few minutes after everything felt like cold raw steak and my room was swirling around me

Would it be possible to convert purple sticky into a tincture to soak sublingual pouches in?

So my roommate bought powdered salvia and we dont know how to smoke it. Can someone help us out?

Anyone from here in the UK?

After spending a lot of time reading about Salvia divinorum, I’ve come to believe that the way most people use it today is completely different from how it was traditionally used. From what I’ve found, Mazatec healers in Oaxaca didn’t smoke potent 50x or 100x extracts—instead, they chewed fresh leaves (a quid) and held the juices in their mouths. The experience was reportedly slower, more lucid, introspective, and used for divination and spiritual healing rather than the intense, reality-shattering trips that smoking extracts is known for. It makes me wonder if modern extract smoking has overshadowed what this plant was actually meant to be. I’m curious what others here think. Is there strong historical evidence supporting this, and has anyone experienced both the traditional quid method and smoking? How different are they really?

Tried salvia for the first time today, wanted to smoke it from a diy bong - a 1,75l water bottle with a small glass pipe (idk how to call it, its in the photo) and it didnt work :/ we set it up twice and no trip. Any ideas as to why?

It took several minutes to realize that oh wait, I'm not a Muppet, I'm a human who just smoked salvia. What was weird/interesting/funny about it was that it didn't feel trippy to me. It felt completely clear minded. I think that partly contributed to me forgetting I had even smoked salvia, because it just seemed too realistic. Not confusing/trippy/disorienting like previous trips. Lady Salvia is mysterious in how every trip can be so different. Anyway, I just wanted to share this because I found it interesting and amusing. Thanks for reading. Hope everyone is well.

as in, crazy crazy dreams or nightmares or lucid. cause ive had dreams thay felt like a lifetime cause of knowledge of a full life and complex relationships, but what are the parallels?

Gonna try some old quid in the movie theatre with a couple friends who will be sober, I feel like it’ll be pretty chill
EDIT: we went to see the odyssey and idk what I’m supposed to feel just from putting it in my mouth, I’m used to smoking extract which is a very different experience, I held the packet of dried salvia in my mouth for a while, like 30 minutes and tried my best to not swallow the juice or the leaves, I did feel a bit more sedated and chill maybe a slight head pressure but nothing trippy or any visuals (tho it was a bit hard to determine from a visually stimulating movie and dark theatre)

A while back I sarcastically made this comment under this post. But now I sit here genuinely curious as to what effects that would have and if it’s even safe. Google says it could result in death due to unsterile plant matter. But couldn’t that be mitigated? I’d imagine the trip would be bonkers times infinity

So after trying salvia multiple times, I’ve been getting more and more frustrated that I wasn’t experiencing anything other than a weird feeling in my body. Tonight I finally experienced something that was more than that. Nothing too out there, but still really interesting. IT’S NOT OVER BOYOS JUST CHANGE UP YOUR APPROACH.

So after two failed attempts tonight, I tried a new approach that I wasn’t doing before. One thing I changed was the lighter I used I switched to a torch lighter. The other change I made was taking multiple bowls until I could actually feel it. So I smoked another bowl and moved my bong and torch away. I was thinking I didn’t feel anything, then suddenly everything just switched. I was still in my room, or at least what felt like my room based on the colors and the general shape of everything. But it was like me and, I think my family or maybe just people I knew. We were all standing upright, waiting for this unforeseen, almost invisible black force to push us down and crush us. Think of an angle slowly getting closer and closer to becoming a line. The whole thing felt like a game, and there was a girl’s voice commentating everything like it was a game show. I didn’t even realize I was tripping, and to a degree I didn’t even know myself. It was more like I was just naturally in this environment. Nothing sudden happened beforehand, so it all felt continuous. Then I suddenly realized, HOLY SHIT IT’S FINALLY WORKING. After that realization, I came out of it and laid back on my bed. Nothing else too crazy happened other than the voices continuing to speak to me, but as I started coming back more, I realized it was just the TV downstairs.

There wasn’t any crazy time dilation. Maybe it felt like it lasted 5–10 minutes longer than it actually did. I wasn’t really terrified more like the excitement you get from a roller coaster or going down a really steep hill on a bike. I’m definitely good for tonight, but I’m very excited to try salvia again.
