Salvia Stoned Weekend

So This weekend was the first time i tried salvia. from my knowledge, saliva only makes you hallucinate, i was never informed of just exactly how intense it really was.

I was at a friends house with 3 of my good friends and this weekend was my turn to hit salvia. so they moved the table out of the way, dimmed the lights, and put on really chill music. i packed a bowl with Mendo kush, and a hit of 40x salvia. I took a really phat hit out of the bong, and i couldn't ghost it, so i took another and held it in. There was no wait, I felt my soul flying out of my body within 5 seconds. It flew upward somewhere, i am not sure where. The next thing I know, I was surrounded by white, everyone faded away and there was only me. I think I reached the end of the universe, because I kept walking and there was nothing, no up, no down, no walls, just white. Then I could feel my soul coming back into my body, but it felt different, it was going through my ears and mouth and it hurt a little, but I could handle it cause I knew i had to get my soul back. I guess there was a song playing in the background, something by the GorillaZ. I started to see my friends again, but they looked distorted and far away. Next thing I know, I get trapped in the song. I turn into a fence made of popsicle sticks and the words become my body. I freak out a little bit because I see my friends looking at what i'm doing and i can't speak, i just wonder why they aren't helping me get out of this situation. Then, I realize that I smoked salvia and it all made sense. I remembered that there were Tater-Tots in the oven and told my friend to take them out, when he opened the oven the tots flew out, LOL. I came back after that, but i couldn't speak or move. I was wondering why all these thoughts were going through my head but i couldnt control them, or make them stop or go in order. I hear my friend say ''either she's trippin hard, or her brain is gone'' next thing i know i look down and my brain is on the floor. I was so confused.

Overall, that was the most amazing experience I felt in my life. I've done a lot of shit, but nothing made me feel so peaceful after. I felt like god had taken my soul and washed it. I feel like a new chapter in my life was written. You can't live your life and not try salvia because without it you'll never know what it's like to leave your body. I guess salvia trips are like death in a sense. You get the chance to leave your body and experience something spiritual on a higher level. Your journey back may be good, or not so good, but in the end it was worth it to die and come back before you really leave.

The next day I couldn't stop thinking about my trip, I still can't. My friends came over and he had some salvia left from the night before and I packed a bowl of weed in my pipe and put a little salvia on top. I only got the body high that salvia gives you but it felt amazing. We were in the jaccuzzi and kept blazing so it got more and more intense. I made myself a Pina Colada and was watching a movie, but all I could think about was the salvia. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I really love salvia, It's great.

It's like a slice of heaven.
