Modern humans must learn how to relate to psychoactives
responsibly, treating them with respect and awareness,
working to minimize harms and maximize benefits, and
integrating use into a healthy, enjoyable, and productive life.

DOSE:
1 bowl smoked Salvia divinorum (dried)
BODY WEIGHT: 125 lb
I'm not a pot smoker, or an alcohol drinker. Nothing good ever seemed to come from either one, so about a year after quitting the two, I got into alternative drugs. Remembering a drug my friend had tried before, I went out and bought some salvia. Later that day when I tried it out for the first time, it automatically became my favorite mind freeing substance. One large hit on my friends bubbler (I make sure I use a water bong of some sort, dry pieces have never worked with me), sent me on a beautiful trip. Before exhaling I could feel my body slipping away and the effects beginning. I didnt remember anything until about 2 minutes after the hit. What I do remember is standing up, because sitting was incredibly uncomfortable, and wanting to explore this new world.

The only way to describe my view of the world was a wonderland-like-funhouse, which seems to be my general experience in subsequent trips. It was dusk, but there were still colors to be seen all around. The ground at one point became a puzzle piece that attached itself to the sky as I tried looking up, without sucess. One fun thing to do was play a didgeridoo, which became my spirit tunnel. Closing my eyes I could see a tunnel that seemed to be the tunnel to somewhere, but I didnt feel like going. As time progressed I came to full conciousness and went to eat. The after effects were pleasurable in themselves, in that I became tired but definetly peaceful and more introspective. It is really the most pleasurable enthenogenic experience I have ever experienced.
