There was your first mistake. Several hundred times?? Salvia is something you do a couple times and then get bored with it. Doing almost any drug that many times (except maybe pot) will have bad consequences.

You smoked an enormous amount of it. You’re an idiot.

Want to know who is responsible for your fractured psyche? Look in the fucking mirror. YOUR incredible irresponsibility did this. Salvia DID not do this. That’s like blaming the car instead of the driver in a hit and run scenario.

Jerk.

What you are doing, and what the original poster of this story did (and paid for) was severely misuse and abuse a very important plant.

I have had two experiences with Salvia. Each were extremely horrible. You get over it. Salvia does not affect people like this if used in a proper dosage, say, half a bowl of 10x, and it must be smoked by a mentally stable person.

What I think is the issue behind many of these “fucked up by Salvia” cases were mental and emotional instability brought to the forefront by the drug. Many people who use Salvia for non-spiritual use find themselves never touching it. I simply wanted to experiment, and see how far things could be taken.

The original poster has my eternal pity, but I would like for him to confirm that the fault was not Salvia- it was him. Benedryl taken in high doses can also result in traumatic and horrifying trips, and it’s sold over the counter. There are many drugs out there with more potential for abuse and less potential for benefit than Salvia.

For now sir, you have my pity eternally. I understand how difficult your situation is, but I do not believe the fault was the drug. I believe that you severely misused Salvia, and that you may have had some pre-existing condition that it brought to the surface. It’s also possible that all of your effects are placebo in a sense, a powerful delusion, maybe.

I would appreciate if you posted the concentration of Salvia which was used (I’m assuming 100x), and possibly the amount of Salvia. Then that could be weighed alongside common doses used for Salvia, and to doses of other drugs. Then it could be properly demonstrated to any reader that if you had taken an equivalent dose of any prescription drug or over the counter drug which is commonly abused, you would have suffered perhaps more harm.

You do have my pity, you really do. Despite my horrible experiences I can recognize the power and potential of Salvia. I swear to God though, if you ever appear before State legislators in any state to share your story, contempt will be all that will be felt.

Salvia can make people change themselves for the better. Or it can go the other way. It’s a roll of dice, and the ignorance of others should not cost the better-suited their toss of the dice.
