i have been curious about Salvia divinorum for a long time, and tried it sublingually once but didn't break through. i was worried that i might be a hardhead, so when my buddy told me he had some salvia and wanted someone to act as a sitter for him, i took a train to his place as soon as i could.
We went into his room, weighed a .25 gram pile of the 5x extract for each of us, and flipped a coin to see who went first. i lost (won?) so my buddy went first. Once he was back to this plane, i put on Trane's 'A Love Supreme' and sat on the bed to (hopefully) be introduced to the plant/goddess.

i got the first hit of harsh smoke down fine, as deep as i could, and held for as close to 30 seconds as i could perceive. As i exhaled, i looked over at my friend and noticed he had sort of a halo of light around him. Unnerved by the fast comeup i almost stopped, but then decided against it. i took the second hit, and space started to shift disturbingly around me. Three-dimensional objects turned flat, but two-dimensional objects seemed to grow and twist at impossible angles and become three-dimensional. i perceived that i was on the bank of a river in a desert of some kind, the sun was out and it was incredibly hot (i sweated a lot during this). i tried to take a third hit, and suddenly felt a presence to my right telling me not to. It felt sort of crocodile-ish, but definitely wasn't a crocodile. i can't describe it. But the way it was telling me not to was not the kind of way you'd tell someone not to run into the street blindfolded, it was more of a jealous thing. Like it didn't want me to be able to see what Salvia had to show me because it wanted it for itself or something. It was very insistent.

i tried to take the hit, but i couldn't operate the lighter anymore anyway. i think my friend took the pipe and lighter at this point. i fell down on his bed, lost in Salvia space. The visual end of the trip sort of fell off quickly, but i got spatial hallucinations for minutes after the peak. Sort of like i could see an object from two or three perspectives simultaneously.

A couple minutes later, i thought i was pretty much down so i sat up and tried to talk to my friend, but couldn't get words to form. i gestured incomprehensibly and after a while got out 'the cd, first track, cd' or something close enough to it that my friend picked it up and obliged.
After that things fell off pretty fast. We sat and talked about the experiences for a while, then i went home.

Do not be fooled by its availability. Salvia is very serious, and incredibly useful. i plan to experiment deeply with her.
