I have been reading some articles of the experiences that people have using Salvia Divinorum. Just wanting to see if other peoples experiences are the same. ( Please don't post info about the plant, I know about that)
How did you consume the product? (Smoking it, in a Tincture, Chewing Leaves?)
And what were the effects?
If you have never tried it, please don't respond.

Salvia Divinorum is a very interesting experience that is different for everyone, and currently, completely legal. I have tried it in a group/Ritual setting and each time I had positive results. It is quite useful for use during meditations to produce visions and is thought to be one of the herbs used by the Mayans and Native Americans in their spirit quests.
We smoked it in a water pipe and made sure that one of us acted as a 'Watcher'. That person was completely sober and kept a close eye on everyone who smoked the Salvia, in case there were problems such as an allergic reaction or a panic attack.
I really enjoyed it and found the visions I saw were similar to vivid dreaming, but you had more control over the actions.

It can really mess with your world for about a half an hour. Obviously different people experience different things. I've smoked it and it makes you so incredibly high you are just blitzed. You can hallucinate (I didn't but some friends did). It's a fun experience although a lot of people don't like it. If you haven't tried it I say go for it. If you don't like it it's over in 30 minutes. It's really not too big of a deal.

I have tried it, recently. I chose the 20x extract that I found at the local hippie hut. They had 10x power, and 50x power, but I went for the 20x. I smoked it from a water pipe, from what I am told this is the only way to do it so you will feel the effects. I didn't like it that much, but everyone I know who has tried liked it. It made me feel paranoid, and like I was in trouble, or going to get in trouble. Spaces you out for awhile, it made me feel like a cactus. I know that sounds weird, but when I do shrooms I feel like slimey and like a shroom, but this stuff felt prickly and like a cactus. Everything in the room looked like it was made of wood paneling, and like trees and plants were creeping across the floor. It only lasted like 15 minutes maybe. So, have fun, but I would suggest buying the extract, I understand you have to smoke a lot of the just regular dried leaves to get a good trip.

Um, salvia divinorum *isn't* always legal. It's illegal in my state, and it might be illegal in yours, too! Wheeeee!
I haven't smoked it or anything but you should keep reading:
Read From Chocolate to Morphine by Dr. Andrew Weil. He and his co-author talk about eeeeeeevery mind-altering substance, from, well, chocolate to morphine. Legal, illegal, used-to-be-legal, might-be-legal-someday...it's all in there. It's very detailed and seems accurate--it has lots of personal accounts and doctor-talk on substances (but it's not too science-laden.) You should read it anyway--it's a great book.

I tried that once.. bought a tin of it from Hawaii holy smokes.
A buddy of mine and i Smoked a decent sized bowl of it. this is where i might loose you but just stick with me....
after the second hit, while i was exhaling it, it was like time froze and i was stuck in the television. in order to get out i had to turn to my left to pass the bowl to my buddy, but the simple task of turning seemed impossible, and i had this hopeless feeling that i was stuck for ever. this lasted for what seemed like 20 mins, after it wore off, my buddy said i was just sitting there, mouth agape, staring at the television. it was mildly unpleasant for me due to being " stuck in the TV" but in another setting, (ie. the woods or a lake ) it would probably be quite pleasant

I have smoked it for ritual purposes in a ritual context and did not have any ill effects from it. If you are going to try it I do suggest a controlled environment.
