Is salvia bad and how should I smoke it?

It's very dangerous. You can easily kill yourself during the trip on accident. Afterwards you can have anxiety and hallucinations enough to commit suicide. DON'T DO IT!

First off don't listen to people saying its horrible for you. Just like any other mind-altering substance, for you to properly use it you need two major things. A high maturity level and common sense. To answer your question, Salvia is NOT bad. It is not dangerous for you. There has been no known case of over dose, nor has anyone ever been killed by taking it. If this is your first time, stay away from the exceptionally high extracts. >x20. x20 is already high, and anything higher than that, is not natural. The only thing Salvia can and probably will do to you, it won't kill you, but it will certainly force you to let go of everything you know. Anything that rules your life, the things you think you are not. Salvia takes who you are and slaps it right in front of your face. This is where critics come in. Some people don't like what they see, they get scared, mad, whatever the case may be. They say its a horrible herb. Which is fine, Salvia is honestly not for everything. The people who use Salvia use it as an aid to self fulfilling prophecies, or to learn more about yourself or everything around you. If you don't feel comfortable doing it alone, then get a sitter, if you are going with the smaller extracts like x5 or x 10 you probably don't need a sitter, but a sitter is always advised doesn't matter the amount of strength smoked. Hopefully you are older than in middle school and you aren't using this herb to "trip balls" That is not the purpose of this plant, in my opinion, it is used to see the world in a different dimension and experience feelings, knowledge, and sights you won't ever have experienced if you never used Salvia. Another funny thing and frustrating thing about Salvia, i think is what i like to call. Salvinorum Memory. When you are tripping and you are somewhere not here, you have a realization of certain things. Mind set, your way of thinking, in the mind of a sober person or even when you are sober again. You remember it has a bunch of random thoughts that crossed your mind, you can make sense of it, but not Truly, you only Truly understand it when you are peaking. Its wonderful. Below I will attach an experience i had. I wrote this while i was coming off the high actually. I took about bowl in my bong of x15 extract.

My heart is racing, just the simple thought of smoking this herb and knowing where it takes me it makes my heart race. I lay still with the bong in my lap, concentrating for my heart to slow down. I hear the boom loud in my head. It is mesmerizing. Drawing me ever so close into that boom. With adrenaline coursing though my veins, my conscious effort to slow my heart rate. I take a massive hit of Salvia x15 out of my bong. I look at the extract glowing bright red. It is so beautiful. I stare at the eyes of the cause of where i am going to go. I set the bong down, lay with my back on the couch. I have my beat by Dre's in listening to Dub step, while watching a trippy video on youtube. In an instant i am ripped from my universe. The very soul that makes up this dimension, i take a step back and look. I come to a realization, a realization that can only be understood when in that frame and state of mind. It feels like raw knowledge, equivalent to the Elder Scrolls from the games. The image that my eyes create see this dimension, as i “wake up” i look away from that screen to see many other screens. Each its very own dimension. Its own universe, all the possible outcomes and possible consequences. That “hub” if you may call it, that houses all these dimensions is run by figures. I don’t know what to call them, but they feel like family. They felt like my parents. They got mad at me, because it was time to do something very important, and they yelled at me because i was wasting my time watching “our screen” Our screen being the universe and dimension we live in. I come down from the high, i feel it. I don’t want too. I concentrate my mind to hold on to that knowledge and images I have just encountered, because i know soon it will not make sense. It will make sense but not to the point where I knew how much it made sense. I hold on to that thought, those feelings, that knowledge. I am consumed by feeling to relax and to let be. As i become more aware of my surroundings i get mad at everything. Imagine a toy you love being given to you at a small age. Your parents let you play with it, but only for a short while then they take that toy away from you. You suddenly become mad at the world. Because you don’t want anything else but that toy. I wanted nothing else but to have that feeling. To see the world as it really was. Then as i meditate on what has just happened. I come back to reality. I am grateful for my experience.

I really hoped this helped

Your taking your life in your hands. Stay away.
