DOSE:
2 hits smoked Salvia divinorum (dried)
BODY WEIGHT: 150 lb
I recently express ordered a half ounce of Salvia from an internet company. I was very sceptical about the whole idea that a legal hallucenagen could exist.

The first night I recieved it I was so excited. I got out my shotty and packed the bowl. I hit it as hard as I could several times and felt nothing. In fact, I smoked a quarter ounce on the first night and felt nothing. Finally, out of desperation, I decided to look on the net to get some tips. I found that the only truely effective way to adminster this leaf is through a bong. After I relized this, I tried again.

This time the most profound experience of my life occured. I was sitting on the edge of my futon and had just taken my second hit from the bong. I remeber thinking that I had better take another hit when suddenly I noticed that the floor in my room had risen up to my knees and my legs were stuck inside the tiles. I became overwhelmed with fear. It was like being in a nightmare. I tried to convince myself that I was sleeping but I knew I was awake. After about a minute of terror I saw the bong in my hand and relized that it was the Salvia. I began to calm down and decided to sit Indian style.

After sitting there for a minute, I started to feel as though my soul was trying to exit my body. I became frightened again and had to fight to keep it in my body for about five minutes. It finally wore off and I was fine again.

In retrospect, the memory of it is really cool. I can't believe that it actually had me convinced that my legs were stuck in the floor. Even if a sitter was there, I don't think that they could have convinced me that it wasn't so. As for my soul, next time I will use a sitter and just let it go. This drug is for real.
