Salvia
I've only dabbled in drugs occasionally, and nothing really strong. So having wanted to try salvia for a while, I finally went and got some. I tried rolling it in a spliff with baccy - nothing. Tried skinning it and smking it on its own - nothing except a bit of lightheadedness. So, getting frustrated (it's always hit and miss whether drugs will end up doing anything for me) I piled a huge wad of it into my pipe and burned it with a constant lighter flame. Started to burn my fingers, but then something strange happened.

I was standing on the back step looking over the patio, small terraced house with a fence on either side at about one in the morning. Suddenly, everything went bright colours, the sky was baby blue, and I swear the trees looked a little like candy canes. I'd made my mind up beforehand not to stop huffing until I was really high, but the thing was that all this began to seem normal. It's like my brain had decided that this was how the world *should* look... so I kept huffing, taking really deep breaths and holding them.

I began singing Sesame Street at the top of my voice and bursting out laughing. Wrong theme tune, because the world reminded me heavily of the beginning to Playdays. As it finally began to fade, I began to desperately hold onto the high, until I was left, twenty minutes after I started, Sesame Street stuck in my head, standing in the drizzle on a cold night in Leeds, staring at a weed-ridden patio, and wishing so hard to be back in my little Playdays world.

Haven't touched it since, but only because I don't want to be disappointed and screw the memories of that first, excellent Salvia trip.

How to recreate your experience
There is a knack to salvia. You need to pipe it at least and the salvinorin has a pretty high vaporisation temperature. Use at a least a fairly well charged bic or better use a torch type lighter. Heat that shit up to cherry and take a huge lungful. Hold for as long as you can then rinse and repeat. Ideally have someone to take the pipe if you drop it.

Start with the straight stuff and work up through the x multiples to you find the right level for you. (5x is plenty for me, lightweight eh?)

Alternatively look up "straight to base Tek", buy some MHRB, follow the instructions to extract the spice and get somewhere entirely more beautiful
