100X Salvia. One Puff will do ya trip report
Doc Kunda
I work part time on a volunteer basis at a local
eclectic herb farm and gift emporium as a Gardener
and Laboratory Technician, Kitchen Chemist. This
month using tried and true extraction methods and
new purification procedures I produced a quality
100X salvia divinorum powder extract. Being that
part of my job description is to actually try out
new extracts and products and that nobody else on
the farm had the gonads to try this 100X, I became
the first. The things I am expressed to do for
work sometimes :-)~
I carefully weighed out 25 mg (1/40th of a gram) and
put it into a new onyx pipe with a clean screen. I was
careful not to disturb the powder after placing it into
the bowl, to keep it from falling through the screen
prior to lighting. I sat down on a couch in the
reception and meeting room and began my deep circular
breathing exercises to help clear my head of all
distractions. I made sure I was alone in the building
as anybody walking in and unaware of the fact that I
was doing meditative visioning with helper plants
could interrupt the experience for myself. I am a big
advocate of setting the mood for use of this visioning
aid, as distractions can easily overtake the subtle yet
profoundness of a salvia Journey.
See http://www.dockunda.com/helpfulhints.htm to read a
helpful hints guide on how to reach Salvia Space. In
it I discuss more about setting the mood for this plant.
Although I was alone in the building, I do not recommend
anybody use this helper plant alone until very well
versed/experienced in their personal dosage requirements
for and their reaction to this particular visioning aid.
Caution, this plant can and will cause OBE's and NDE's
(out of body experiences and near death experiences)
Once I had cleared my being of all distractions with my
circular deep breathing exercises, I then smoked the
scant amount of material in the pipe. It was a good
amount of smoke coming from such a small amount of
powder. At one point I thought, "it must be all gone",
and stopped inhaling. I put more flame to the pipe to
check and realized there was more. I took that in as
well. I would say these 2 inhalations, one on top of the
other without exhaling either, took place over 15 seconds.
I put the pipe down and laid back in the couch. At about
30 seconds after the last of the smoke was inhaled I
wondered if anything was going to happen. The about 10
seconds later I felt the first familiar precursor
sensations and I knew that I was moments away from my
majestically journey.
I never had time to exhale before I awoke into the
magical realm of Salvia Space. The first thing I
remember doing upon becoming aware once again of the
grandeur of Salvia Space was that I stood up off the
couch and made a verbal declaration or pronouncement
while stomping my right foot down that, "I'm staying
this time." I was exclaiming that I was not going to
go back into my body and be trapped by my limiting
existence of common perceptions again.
As I stomped my foot, my experienced was deepening.
Simultaneously my legs were weakening and I fell back
onto the couch and approached an immaterial existence
as I melded with the couch and the other objects around
me. As I came out of immaterial existence I drifted
back into the awareness of the OBE I was once again
experiencing
The place that I go to when doing Salvia divinorum is
full of other beings or conscious energies. They
typically pay me no mind. When I try and talk and
interact with them, most of them tell the others to
leave me alone, that I will only be there for a brief
minute or two. I long for more interaction, but I
often seem more of an amusement or a curiosity to the
other energies or beings I experience.
During the time of my OBE I still could see the doorway
in the room I was in and was hoping that nobody would
enter which might lead to a shift in perceptions out
of the divine place I was at. Eventually I merged
back into my body, maybe 4-5 minutes after having set
the pipe down. I tried to get up and felt dizzy. I
went and told somebody else at the garden that I just
tried the 100X, then I went and sat back down on the
couch for 10 minutes, still not ready to cope with
normal work duties. I then went and visited the store
and told our Herbalist what I did. I sat on the couch
there for 15 minutes, still veging out, sort of.
I was pretty much worthless for productive work tasks
for the remaining couple of hours I was at work. My
girlfriend (the store Herbalist) has told people since
then that I was out of it the whole evening all the
way until it was time to go to bed.
Although I typically experience an afterglow of an hour
or two after doing Salvia divinorum, I never was so
throwed off as this time. I wish I had been in a natural
wooded environment and not at work when doing this test
product. I am sure the initial experience would have
been far longer lasting and the afterglow would have
been far more enjoyable and profound in and of itself.
I checked the pipe the next day and saw some resins still
on the screen and under it. It seems that I did not get
all of the 25 mg of 100X. I now want to try this product
again, administered by smoking, but at a smaller dose
taken in a natural environment and at a time when nothing
in the way of work or having to focus on tangible objects
or specific tasks are required or expected of me. I
think 15 mg (less than 1/60th of a gram) may be a
suitable dose under these conditions for me. One small
puff away from a whole new world of experiences
My Salvia divinorum experiences are always short lived
due to the plant being administered through vaporization
and inhalation. I am working on new methods of
transdermal or soft tissue absorption to enable longer
journeys. The liquid Salvia divinorum tinctures
available online burn and blister the soft tissues under
my tongue to such a level of pain that I cannot even
begin to do meditative visioning. I will post a new
report if I am successful in producing a less painful
way of administering this wondrous helper plant.
