subject: How To Predict Salvia Effects When You Dont Know How Good Your Salvia Is [print this page] The Salvia Divinorum plant is quite well known for its physical and psychological effects. Most of the time when they are offered for sale, sellers would often promote it as a much more acceptable alternative in comparison to street drugs. Primarily, people use this to induce pleasant hallucinations, out of the body experiences and occasional uncontrollable laughter.
Unfortunately while frequent users of the S. Divinorum would vouch a very positive experience out of the plant, it cannot be helped that there will always be several side effects by which others might find very discouraging. Some say that as long as the quality of the Salvia at hand is excellent, the user can barely notice the unwanted effects. The big question is how can one predict the kind of effects the S. Divinorum could induce not knowing its quality in the first place?
The Substance Behind the Desired Effects
There are a lot psychoactive derivatives found in the Salvia but the main component that causes the desired effects is called Salvinorin A, a very potent hallucinogenic substance. No doubt regardless of the quality of extract that would be used, the content of the Salvinorin A is definitely present, however the ability to initiate the intended effects might entirely depend on the level of concentration of the substance. This can be related probably to the handling and processing of the product.
What Can Be Expected From Using Salvia
Unlike most hallucinogenic agents, this plant can cause abrupt trips as quick as 20 minutes to as long as an hour. Afterwards the user returns back to reality. There are several states the user might be able to experience upon using the Salvia:
Stage 1 - This is probably the earliest stage by which every user may find very pleasant since this is when relaxation occurs and the senses become more attuned to the surrounding environment. This is the stage by which most people can highly benefit especially those who meditate frequently and engage in sexual pleasures.
Stage 2 This is when logical thinking becomes irrelevant and imagination begins to be playful as color, shapes and texture are given much more attention than anything else.
Stage 3 Clear imagery is experienced upon closure of the eyes which would eventually lead to visualization of 3-D scenes that appear to be realistic enough even when the users eyes are wide open.
Stage 4 This is the stage when the person might feel disoriented and lost. Some would even claim that this is the stage when one is believed to have merged with divine beings.
Stage 5 This is considered to be the most dangerous state due to the possibility of loss of consciousness, fall down or move around recklessly without a sense of restraint causing injury to the user and others.
Knowing if the Salvia Is working
As mentioned earlier, upon consumption of the substance, effects should be occurring within 20 minutes. If stage one has not started yet and the dose recommended taken is already at its maximum, do not attempt to take more, it might be that the Salvia at hand is already expired.
