Should I take salvia divinorum?
Question:
Answers:
There are no tests that look for Salvia divinorum metabolites at this point. Also, it is perfectly legal, so while I suppose potential employers might frown upon using it (if they are even familiar with it), I don't know that it would be an issue. I also don't know how it would look if you are on probation (alcohol is also legal but violates drug-related probation, but cigarettes and caffeine don't…).
I'm linking you to the Erowid vault on Salvia, which is full of FAQs, user experiences, and other information. Erowid.com is a great site for researching drugs and intoxicants, from prescription antidepressants to run of the mill alcohol and pot to hard drugs like MDMA to drugs I've never even heard of. The wiki is also quite detailed.
If you are going to smoke it, I recommend using a torch lighter and smoking it through a bong. Salvia smoke is much harsher than marijuana smoke, and it also needs to be burnt at a higher temperature than cannabis, hence the torch lighter (meaning the smoke itself is also hotter and will be harsher on your throat/lungs). A bong or some other water piece will filter out some of the smoke and cool it before it enters your mouth. If you cannot get a torch lighter, hold two lighters to the bowl piece, rather than one, which should increase the heat at least somewhat.
I recommend having a babysitter. The effects can be quite intense, although they usually do not last as long as, say, mushrooms. The first time I smoked Salvia I had an intense, terrifying experience that only lasted for a few minutes. It may have lasted longer, but I actually brought myself down by telling myself that it wasn't real (and that I needed to get a handle on myself because I was in the dorms). In subsequent experiences, I've smoked a lot less, and in combination with weed, which was a lot more pleasant and just gave me a crazy, different high than I'm used to.
no detection, but have a sitter, as you can wonder off, in a high dose you wont know where your at, when you walk it will be like a robot. Ive never used it but have heard and seen people that have, its not a fun drug, it can be very scary, if it was me i wouldn't do it. Always have a sitter, you could walk out in traffic and not know it?
I don't think you should. From what I have read, it is very frightening and why would you want that?
You might turn from the Studliest to the Dudliest. Honestly, don't do it. You asked for my opinion and that's it, I would hate anything to happen to you.
TO answer your question: Only if you really want to, as with any drug. Ask a friend who's alright with it to be a sitter, and no it wont be detected since it's legal.
It depends.
If you want to take it for recreation then i dont recommend doing so. its not a recreational drug, its an entheogen.
depending on how much you have, it can be a very profound experience, and it is also very full on.
Entheogens are not for everyone, this much is for sure. your mind really needs to be ready and you have to be open to anything. remaining calm is of the uttmost importance or things can go bad, as mostly they enhance your own mind and thought process, not force specific thoughts onto your mind.
if your focused, calm and in control, it can be a valuable life changing experience, that can provide insight into your own life and the world around you.
however if you are not focused, panicky and out of control, it will most likely be a bad experience.
as i said it depends on how much you have, but i feel that if somebody feels that they are up to it then they should definitely do it, as much can be gained. but only if they are absolutely sure they are ready.
Just do it if your up for it. I wouldnt recommend to start off with a very high extract (if that is what you plan on trying) I have done many times. It a starter hallucinogen which isnt too bad. It will only last up to 10 minutes. I would say start off with a 5x extract and then make your way up if you feel your up to it. It can be enjoyable and at the same time you can hate. The more you take it less you need to feel it. Make sure to keep the smoke in as the smoke can be a bit harsh. Just prepare to feel like your out of your mind for a bit. I say try it but have someone around. I did alone and was fine.
salvia is a waste of money
