Sobriety from all but regular foods (preferably vegan) for as many days as possible greatly facilitates the salvia experience from what I’ve tried. I smoked a 20x salvia purchased from your site a few years ago. I was sitting in a folding camping chair atop a hill surrounded by pine and sweet gum trees. my vessel of choice was a small hand-blown glass bong with a twisted stem and green accents. I took one big breath of it and held it for about 15 seconds before attempting to take a second. I set the bong on the ground in front of me before getting the second in and sat back in my chair. The chair began to feel most unnatural and very sharp. While struggling to keep my body in order, my mind/soul was lifted in a vortex of energy to the height of the surrounding trees. I felt very strongly the presence of angels/familiar spirits who seemed irritated by my actions as if I had intruded on their space. After that my mind was back in my body and I had to work very hard to remember how to operate. It felt very uncomfortable like a very heavy organic robot. The effects settled down and left me feeling very grateful for the comfort of my normal state as it came back to me.
The consequences of this experience were long-lasting affecting my mind and subconscious even now. I ask Christ to forgive me for my trespasses any time I remember this experience, whether that’s what it was or not. My curiosity led me to try it again several times each being different and wild as the first, some feeling more welcome than others. Another time I took one long slow hit and held it as long as I could while sitting in my apartment by a window. That time, my mind was taken into another space where it felt like I could see/feel higher spacial dimensions around me and very clumsily moving in them felt like turning pages in a book where the pages were different layers of existence that had always been there but I wasn’t usually able to see. The come-down was very tingly, overflowing with laughter and babbling incoherently trying to explain what I had been feeling.
These experiences have excited me for years now, running over into my dreams with feelings lingering from them into everyday life. Also, it is most bizarre to me when I get friends to try it who are heavy weed smokers and they don’t have much reaction to it at all..
