    i wouldnt ban it cos of that though.

    and theres not way its stronger than trips, OP i suspect you've just used a load of "drugs" buzz words and may in fact be a tabloid journalist, too lazy to do propper research.
    either that or a troll.
    which is it~?

    It's IMMENSLY stronger then trips / mushrooms if done the correct way. It's not even comparable.

    For instance if you did infact smoke 40x extract properly you wouldn't have been able to leave the toilet or be in any way coherant for the next 10 minutes.

    I'm convinced anyone who thinks that's a good drug just doesn't know drugs at all. It's ****e! About a minute of feeling weird and that's it, pure muck.

    That's the most Ironic statement I've read in a long time, seriously stick to your weed and class A's you'll be better off. :rolleyes:

    if you think it only last for a minute and all you feel is "weird" then you obviously didn't take it right.


    the amount of people who put it in a joint or burn it with a ****ty normal lighter and then says it does nothing, makes me wonder if they even knew what they were supposed to do in the first place....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,794 ✭✭✭JC 2K3


    Nah, not into non natural drugs. Regardless of what is in it, it looks like there are an arse loads of chemicles in it. Pills, powder, liquid (apart from alcohol) is not in my "I like" list. Bit of homegrown or a few pints, fair enough.
    Eh... Salvia is a plant...

    What's natural that's should be legal!:)

    What kind of fancy lighter am I supposed to use? I put it in a bong and it was ****e.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭galwaybabe


    I tried it once and spent the entire time wondering if I would get my sanity back afterwards. Horrible stuff

    Normal lighter should be fine. how long did you hold it in for?

    you're supposed to hold in each toke for as long as possible. ;)

    also, how strong was it?

    Not a lot of knowledge on salvia here i see!
    If done right you'll know it's done right. As for the comments about no one enjoying it, anyone I know that's taken it has enjoyed it!
    Although it's not a party drug, but it's worth experiencing once or twice.

    I wish the head shops in ireland had proper staff that know what they're talking about and could give you advice. The staff in the shope in Amsterdam are great, the ones in ireland are rubbish.

    I think it was x40, maybe 25 the strongest one they had at the time. I split the contents of the vile between me and a friend. I held it in for as long as I could, I do hold in smoke for a long time anyway it's a habit I picked up from smoking weed.

    As far as I'm concerned its a mickey mouse drug for collage students that want to be adventurous (but not to adventurous).

    I strongly disagree...

    The fact that you split he contents of a vial of 40x extract (or even 25x) with a friend and think this makes me think something isn't right.

    Poor quality extract perhaps?

    Also, remember that there seems to be a "reverse tolderance" effect, with many users finding it diffuiult to get strong effects for the first few times.

    From first hand reports I've heard from seasoned (read: burnt out) drug users Salvia is an intense serious drug.

    Are you just mad cause it didn't work for you?

    I'm pissed because it's a rip off. All I got was pins and needles all over my body, a slight problem with balance and very mild hallucinations (as in colour changes).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭Prof.Badass


    Salvia is not a psychedelic, it is a kappa-opiod agonist (nothing to do with opiates).

    You won't get much from the visual side of things. It's more of a mindfúck type of thing.
    If you're just looking for trippy visuals and if you try and fight the trip you will be dissappointed.

    Salvia makes you a cabbage for a few minutes. You can't do anything on Salvia. It's ****. There's no reason to make it illegal though. I'd imagine it's not that popular with that many people. Most people buy it, try it, don't like it, and don't ever do it again. Who was the last person you heard of who does Salvia on a regular basis?

    Good post. I enjoyed salvia the first time I did it, scared the f*ck out of me and then had me in stitches laughing.
    the next time I did I knew what to expect and it wasn't as good. The appeal for repeated use isn't there but it's fun at times. haven't done it in a while though...

    It's substantially stronger than any other hallucinogen I've taken even though the effects only last for a few minutes (thank f*ck some might say). TBH the first time I did it I was amazed that it was still legal (not saying that it shouldn't be here BTW)
    Why you'd take it at a work party is really beyond me...it's certainly not a social drug in the way alcohol, Es or coke might be...it's a "few mates sitting in the house" type of drug. I'd go as far as to say that taking it in a public place like that is downright stupid, since you loose control of your mind for a brief period.
    Buzz words? Journalist? WTF are you smoking?

    Anyone who smokes that sh*t deserves a stern dig,stupidity why cant you just drink a pint

    Because it turns me into a raging alco that does and says stupid sh*t and sometimes leaves me unable to attend work the next morning.
    Do you advocate violence against everyone with different life views than you? Maybe years of alcohol consumption has made you intolerant of others...
    [edit] That's not to say that I don't enjoy a drink, only that I've gotten more life troubles through drink than through all the other illegal drugs I've taken, combined. Funny that.

    lol just lol.
    Salvia is natural, although the extract is treated to concentrate it.
    Hell of a lot more natural than any mass produced lager/beer/stout.
    Alcohol is a bodily poison BTW and causes much more damage to you than nearly any other drug, especially when abused or over-used.


    BTW salvia is technically an entheogen, not an hallucinogen. It's been in use for a lot longer than LSD and probably alcohol.
    I expect harney to have it banned in the new year...if she doesn't get thrown to the wolves over her hair do by then.

    Salvia should be given to every primary school child in the country. It'll scare the sh1t out of them so much that they'll never try any drug.

    Salvia more changes your perception than your vision (can't really explain it).

    Everything will become "angular" and you'll feel forces and stuff and it'll be kinda like that ad. But still, despite all this it's not really very visual.

    For me everything seemed vastly different, my perception of the 3d world was drastically altered. But things didn't really "look" that different when i thought about it. I just kinda percieved them as different. again, really hard to explain..... maybe it was different for you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,259 ✭✭✭starn


    Salvia is the only drug I have ever tried. I was reading about how it effects the users perception and couldnt belive that anything could possibly have that strong an effect on the mind and still be legal.

    So I smokes about a fifth of a vile one evening a few christmass ago. Not a plesent exsperiance. At first I got tunnell vision next I thought I was spongebob squarepants the next I belived that I could see the interdemensinal membranes and interact with them. I then spent the next few minutes wrigiling around on the floor and knocked a Christmass tree over myself.

    I think the story about the guy smoking it at the christmass party is BS. There is no way I would smoke salvia and try to have to interact with real people.

    haha id say that was ****ing hilarious.. still wouldnt do it, the thoughts of not being at in control freaks me out. Going away in a few weeks and a few guys are bringing that salvia ****e, must video record it.

    I heard you can get high by smoking toasted banana skins.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,960 ✭✭✭DarkJager


    Its a great laugh when you get to do it right - I was amazed the first time I tried it at how powerful it was. I suppose like many things purchased in headshops, only the stupid people underestimate the effects they will have.

    So why don't you just drink your pint and leave discussion of this type to the people who might actually contribute something worthwhile?


  • Posts: 3,918 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I'm sorry but if you've smoked salvia and didn't get much off it/were able to think/act normally, then you did it wrong. I tried it before and christ, The whole world split into vertical lines and then went rushing back past my face. It was like I was in a realistic version of Tron for 5 minutes, laughing my ass off.

    Then again, before that I had done it once or twice with no decent effects.

    Doubt I'd ever really do it again though.
