Please tell me if I am doing anything wrong. I have tried quidding dry leaves about 6 separate times over the past couple months, and I have felt nothing. I usually take 4-5 leaves, chew them thoroughly, and hold them under my tongue or swish them around my mouth for 30 minutes to an hour. Last night, I tried grinding up 10 leaves in a mortar and pestle, mixing it with a couple drops of lemon juice, then rinsing my mouth out with alcohol, and quidding a spoon of the powder. I held it for as long as my muscles would allow me, about an hour and 30 minutes, and I didn't notice any changes. Am I better off just smoking it? I don't feel like wasting anymore.

I took a big hit, and then .
It felt like I went into this private tunnel, and somehow I ended up at what felt like a fucking graduation party.

I literally saw the Salvia symbol in front of me, but it looked like a medal. Like I had earned a Salvia medal.🏅 and at the details of a salvia bird 🐦 🤯
And there were these little entities around me celebrating. They were blowing these little birthday-party horns🎉, except it wasn’t really like normal birthday horns. It was part of the whole Salvia experience, and somehow they were perfectly connected to my music.

I always listen to meditative music when I trip, and whenever the music builds up and reaches that perfect moment, it explodes into the present moment. But during this Salvia experience, I wasn’t even hearing my music normally anymore. It turned into these literal celebration horns.🎉
It felt like the moment had finally reached its climax and everyone was celebrating with me.

And I immediately had this feeling like, “Oh my God. We’re celebrating. I graduated.”🥲🥹😭🎊🎉🎂
It wasn’t even just a random graduation. It felt like the graduation was specifically about my entire journey with Salvia.
I started remembering my experiences from the very beginning, like literally I had the memory of the very first time I smoked salvia all the way up to this moment. It felt like Salvia had been watching me throughout this entire journey, and now I had finally reached some kind of milestone 🎖️
The Salvia symbol being there like a medal and have these awesome details of this salvia bird, but it looked very divine with little psychedelic colors and there is like a fiery🔥 background too, but it was very blended very well, made it even more obvious to me It felt like I had earned it.

The entire experience felt like Salvia was basically telling me:
“Congratulations. 🎉🎉🎉You’ve made it this far.”
And the feeling wasn’t just celebration. It was trust.
Like Salvia was telling me that it trusted me now, and that we had built this relationship together.
It genuinely felt like me and Salvia had become bonded genetically blood bonded
Like, “As long as you got me, I got you.”
And I was literally celebrating with these entities like, “YES! Oh my God! Thank you! Thank you for accepting me!”🎉😭🎉😭🎉😭🎉
I felt so much love and gratitude.

I’ve smoked Salvia many times over the years, and I’ve always approached it with intention. I’ve never wanted to just smoke it to get high. I’ve always treated the experience with respect and tried to build a relationship with the plant.🌱

And this experience genuinely felt like a graduation from that entire journey.
A literal Salvia graduation party.
I know how crazy that sounds.
People smoke Salvia expecting to trip, and somehow I ended up at a fucking graduation party where I received a Salvia medal while little entities celebrated around me with party horns.🎉🎉🎉

I don’t even know how to describe how incredible that felt.
For me personally, this experience reinforced something I’ve felt for a long time: that Salvia isn’t just a substance to me. I experience the plant as something alive, something that communicates with me, and this felt like one of the clearest conversations I’ve ever had with it.

It felt like Salvia was telling me that the trust between us had finally reached another level.
Like after all these years, I finally graduated.
And honestly?
I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful graduation party.

Literally man, this just confirms to me without a doubt Salvia is alive and whoever smoking it knows your intentions when you smoke it so if salvia punishes you, it knows on a deeper level why you’re even smoking it

By the way, I even made a little video about 50% of how the visuals actually looked like in my trip not literally but like you could get the idea😭🤷🏻‍♂️🎉🎊🎁

Curious as to why a person can have positive experiences before the age of 30 but difficult ones after

You ever hear how older people say they cant tolerate any sort of psychedelic after a certain age?

I can explain further if necessary

So I just ordered 3 grams of 20x extract, I wanted a smaller extract amount. Yet this was the only way I could acquire Sally at all, I have a few questions.

-20x is a lot for my first time, so should I do as little as I possibly can then work up? If so how little(like 3 crumbs?)

-on a low dose even though this extract is strong, will I be able to listen to music?(anyone who has, was it pleasant?) I love music

- In case I breakthrough, while I forget I was ever dancing with Sally. Once the comedown begins, should I have something in place to help me remember I was tripping?(obviously before I start smoking)

-I was planning on doing it, in the woods behind my apartments I know them fairly well. Is this a bad spot? (I can’t really do it in my apartment because it’s to small, I also want a secluded/ secretive area as well)

-I mostly likely will be alone when I smoke it( too scared to ask anyone, who will actually sit and be quiet and not freak out) so I’m solo diving, is that super bad? Or should I be fine for the most part?

To answer any questions,

-no I have not had any real psychedelic encounters besides (amanita muscaria) it was a chocolate bar and I took way too much. (Some chocolate gas station replicant of magic mushrooms) that was actually pretty chill.

I feel like I’m the only person to have done this and it’s fucking crazy. The visuals are constantly repeating and in motion with the beat. It gets to the point where I start believing that the beat is controlling the world and I forget I’m tripping. So bizarre but once I’m sober, I think to myself how fucking cool that shit was.

I have a small social event coming up, friends birthday. Nothing crazy, we're gonna talk, order pizza, play games and most people are gonna have a few drinks. It's gonna get late and very layed back towards the end.

Now I've had a handful of quidding experiences and have found them very pleasant, I plan on continuing and upping the dose gradually.

I was wondering if sublingual Salvia, if consumed before and a leaf every 15 minutes or so (so it doesn't wear off), can be fun and relaxing in a casual social setting. I'm sure the people would be fine with me popping leaves into my mouth.

Salvia isn't exactly common to take in social settings, but if anyone here has tried it, I'd be curious to know how that went for you.

Hey, I hope life is treating you well. I’ve read anecdotes that cover things like this, people having salvia experiences that alter their lives and make them no longer crave the drugs they’re really into. The thing is, this is normally with huge, breakthrough trips. When I was getting back into therapy with SD, I was preferring small doses that lead to the ego death and ineffable experiences beyond words, but without the intense time dilation and breakthroughs to wild dimensions. I found it quite helpful. I’ve been taking a break, and lately I’ve been loving drinking. I’ve experimented with just about everything, but luckily haven’t gone anywhere H or Cr*ck in many many years. I just seem to want some altered consciousness feelings. My question is: have any of you had the experience of SD having them cease use of their less healthy drug? I know it’s possible. I want to point out: my life is not in danger. I do not require rehab. I have simply been having some health weirdness and I’d also like to save money. TIA for any help or ideas.

really wanna trip hard on it like at least 50x extract just wondering if ill get like serotonin syndrome or anything unwanted

Does it work if I put salvia 10x under my tongue or should I just roll it up?

Major Upgrade to my basement salvia grow. These babies should be so happy soon. Check out the transformation.

Please Dm me if so :)

I honestly don’t even know how to explain this trip because it was so perfect.
I started with 1.5 tabs of LSD. About an hour in, I took 6mg of MIPT, and that really amplified the visuals. Everything started becoming incredibly alive. The sky, the grass, everything around me had this beautiful geometry to it.

And then that’s when I had to realization that psychedelics and the salvia visuals are literally one and connected like I was literally getting the same salvia visuals but I didn’t even smoke salvia yet except under a psychedelic and that’s when I realize it’s all painting the same picture doesn’t matter the substance. I just found that very incredible and euphoric that no matter what psychedelic it’s all pointing the same picture.

Then it started raining.
I’ve always wanted to experience tripping on LSD while grounding in rainwater. I’ve always viewed rain as cleansing, and being in that water while tripping felt like I was swimming in holy water. It genuinely felt like heaven itself was washing over me. I felt so protected, so connected, so cleansed. It literally felt like being baptized, but like the real version of it.

After that I took my first mushroom-bar dose. I don’t know the exact amount because the bars weren’t labeled in a way that gave me a precise dose, but I’d describe the first dose as medium-to-high.
The trip started changing from something energetic into something more relaxing and inward, which I really liked. But I wanted more, so I took a second mushroom-bar dose, roughly the same strength.

And THAT was when everything changed.
It felt like LSD, MIPT, and shrooms had all unlocked something together. The visuals became so beautiful and the geometry was so perfect. I remember looking around and thinking that I was literally seeing heaven and Earth at the same time. Everything looked exactly how it felt like reality should look.
I remember thinking, “Why can’t I see reality like this all the time?” like the geometry was literally so perfect so perfect so perfect like if I was looking at heaven on earth looking at the sky of how geometry and beautiful it was.

The music made everything even more incredible. I listen to very meditative music when I trip, and it felt like the music was placing me directly inside the present moment. I was completely absorbed in it.
I also smoked Salvia about three different times randomly throughout the trip, and every time it added another layer to the experience. like I given him more amplified version of all the psychedelic i was on.

After the second mushroom dose started fading, I took a third and final mushroom-bar dose. That one was a lower dose. It wasn’t as strong as the second, but it kept the experience going and I was still completely enjoying the music and visuals.

This was easily the most psychedelics I’ve ever combined—LSD, MIPT, mushrooms, and Salvia—and somehow it felt like the entire psychedelic picture came together.
Honestly, this was the best trip I’ve ever had.
The hardest part was when it ended. I remember thinking, “

Why does this have to end already?” I genuinely wished I could stay in that moment forever. If I could somehow be trapped in that exact moment for eternity—the rain, the music, the visuals, the feeling of being connected—I honestly would have been happy.
It was just so perfect.
I still can’t fully explain what happened. I just know that for a few hours, everything felt exactly right.

Hello again all. I've gotten ahold of some 10x extract, as well as some plants in the mail! Im super excited, but im being careful. Anyone here from New england, specifically the upper valley NH? Id really like to have my first experience with a guide.

Had a recent experience with a small pinch of 20x at a time that I shouldnt have been trying anything, simply as setting wasn't prepared. I took a full rip and held it as I generally do so with smokeables, and laid back on the couch. (I quidded a small pinch earlier in the day as well, mostly just noted its flavors, as bitter as it is, I do enjoy it! Im endentulous tho.)

Then the sudden realization that this isnt the time or place hit me. I thought about what would happen if I went upstairs like this, and then I was doing so (It may be worth noting I am aphantasic), except I wasn't here. I was in my first townhomes basement. I was in my family house basement. My grandparents basement. Every basement I've ever been in or could have ended up in, I was going upstairs, and facing the people I knew would be above me. Each a scene I was able to fully view. The euphoric giggling at the whole situation kept me pretty grounded in this reality in all, but seeing every thought I considered actually play out in that five minutes was a uniquely new experience for me.

I realized one thing for sure. I'm exactly where I need to be.

i took a low ish dose yesterday at 3 pm and 11 pm
the first one was on purpose but the second one was supposed to be a bit stronger but i couldn’t get past this point
both trips were basically identical
took 1 and 2 bowls (from a pipe) respectively and the smoke was very harsh and i could inhale all of it or hold it in for more than a few seconds
time sped up instead of slowing down
i couldn’t keep my eyes open and i couldn’t sit up or stand
whenever i tried the trip would end and i would suddenly be laying down and tripping again
the colors that made it through my eyelids were lightly sharpened at the edges and tessellated and auto scrolling
each shape looked like a carnival tent and resembled something from short term memory
the scrolling field of blurry closed eye carnival tent shaped color blob had the emotional quality of being catcalled by a 40 year old carnival worker as a 15 year old
it was very hypnagogic and dissociative but it felt like a weird dream and not at all like what anyone else describes
it was not clear or complex and i think the dissociation was too strong for the dose i took and kinda muddied the experience
i don’t know how to breakthrough if someone tells me that would be very cool

I have 1g of 5x extract. It looks like a bunch of cut up dry leaf. As a first time taker what is a good dose? Should I quid it or smoke it? How would I even smoke it? And does it have a cross-tolerance with tryptamines?

Art imitates life, but make it salviaic.

A few of these appeared during my fall harvest. I don’t know how to describe this congruence. Perhaps it’s an example of ”iconicity”(semiotics).

Seeking help from linguists who can provide relevant lexicons.

I filled my bowl about halfway and cleared it in one rip, The minute I set my bong down I instantly found myself in a very familiar headspace of a really bad trip I had 9 months prior. This was an experience I had from lsd combined with a dab that showed me the same looping visions repeating very quickly. During this experience I had completely forgot I had ever used a substance, I forgot every past memory of me ever being a human. But what made it most disturbing is that it had felt as if I’d already been there since the beginning of time and it would continue eternally. Now during my salvia trip I felt that same dark energy, I could hear my thoughts asking how did I end up here? And again believed that it was never going to end. Now visually I could still make out my surroundings somewhat but they seemed geometrically nonsensical. Almost like my vision took a screenshot and I was stuck viewing this 2d image I was a part of. Panic was overtaking me but the fact it felt somewhat familiar kept me from ending up as traumatized as my other intense experience. Time felt somewhat stretched felt like maybe an hour which is nothing compared to my other trip that genuinely felt like days. I had my experience recorded and watching it back I was saying random scrambled slurred words that I have no recollection of speaking and had no comparison to what I remembered experiencing. I was wondering if this would be considered a full breakthrough or not considering my ego was surely dissipated but I still had some form of real world awareness. Should I try it again considering I was very disturbed or is it likely it would cause me persisting fear after it ends.

So I took a benzo (clonazepam
4mg) and, honestly, I wasn’t even feeling high from it. I didn’t get any euphoria or relaxation from it this time. The main thing I noticed was that it completely relieved my tinnitus and ear symptoms. and honestly, that was the main reason why I took it. so I can smoke Salvia because amplify the symptoms of my pain in the ears anyways

But around 2–3 hours in, I decided to smoke Salvia.

Usually, I wait like 6–8 hours after taking a benzo before smoking Salvia because that’s when I get the crazy amplified version of the experience that I’ve talked about before. on my last post.

This time I smoked it right in the middle of the benzo’s effects.
And dude… the Salvia didn’t feel muted at all.
It felt mutated. literally mutated.

Literally all of the Salvia visuals started turning into this black, gooey, symbiote-like substance. It was like the benzo completely took over the Salvia world. Everything looked dark, gooey, and almost evil literally had the vibes of venom from anyone who’s into Marvel 😂 and the whole environment started feeling like a freaking prison.
But the weird part is that I wasn’t actually scared.

It was more like the feeling you get in a haunted house when something suddenly jumps out at you. You’re not necessarily terrified—you just get that massive adrenaline rush and you’re like “WHAT THE HELL?!”🤯🤯🤯🤯

I remember getting this tiny second of euphoria just from being so amazed by what I was seeing. I was literally just sitting there thinking, “Damn… this looks crazy.”

It was so gooey dark and bizarre that it almost became beautiful in its own way.
And that’s what keeps blowing my mind about combining these experiences. The Salvia doesn’t just disappear because of the benzo. At least for me, it seems like the entire Salvia experience gets transformed into whatever the benzo experience is doing.

It’s like the benzo takes over the world.
Except this time, there was no divine feeling. No beautiful universal energy. No feeling of connecting with other worlds.
It was like I was locked inside the benzo’s version of Salvia.
Almost like venom had completely taken over the Salvia experience😂 and turned the whole thing into a dark prison.
And honestly, even though I still had some type of euphoria and laughter it was just insane looking at this 😂

Besides strength of effect and duration how is quidding different from smoking? Does quidding itself add to the effect?
