DOSE:
3 hits smoked Salvia divinorum (extract - 5x)
BODY WEIGHT: 170 lb
I just got the Salvia extract(5x)I ordered. I shall report the three attempts I've made using it thus far.

1. I put a small amount of extract into my bong. I drew as deeply as I could (I'm still recovering from a bout with bronchitis, so I had to take relatively small hits) and held it for about 30 seconds. I took one more which cleared the bowl, but for some reason I exhaled after only 10 seconds at most. My body started to feel somewhat weird and I began sweating profusely. This peaked as I exhaled and gradually faded away in less than a minute. It should be noted however that it was daytime and that the room wasn't very quiet.

2. I put a little more than last time in the bowl. By this time a friend and his girlfriend were over, it still wasn't dark and she was making a lot of noise. I hit it again, this time getting two good hits and a paltry third. I felt the telltale weirdness in my body, particularly in my elbows and knees. I put more into the bowl. As I did this I started to laugh hysterically. I stopped laughing and started again, I continued to laugh between taking hits. I closed my eyes, hoping for some visuals, but none came. The body feel faded in about a minute, as before.

3. This time I intended to enter Salvia-space. I walked to 7-11 and got a blue flame lighter. I decided to use my pipe this time, packing a full bowl. I sat down in a very comfortable chair in a dark room, leaving the blue video screen on my TV on so I could see. I intended to turn it off as soon as it hit me. I took 3 large hits, holding them all in for at least 20 seconds each. Between the time I exhaled my third hit and began taking my forth hit I forgot who I was and what I was doing. In my mind, I saw a blue woman with blond hair and wearing a fifties style dress exit a blue house. The dress was red with white polka-dots. But my eyes were open and I was watching the pipe. I felt as if I had known her all my life, in fact, she was my wife. She said 'What are you doing?'. I think I said 'Nothing'. But not in an accusitory manner, in fact, I had no idea what she meant. The vision in my mind quickly collided with what I was actually seeing and ended. I didn't close my eyes once while this happened. It ended before I finished my fourth hit. It was *very* vivid and intense. I turned off the TV and relaxed, closing my eyes, but only vague rotating shadows appeared.

This was bizarre, for a few brief seconds I was living both lives at once. I hope to have more journeys like this in the future.
