what site did you read this from

[raltenbach]

@chuckwier The contents of this video are based on personal, subjective experience. YMMV.

It's great to see that this inspired such a discourse. Thanks to all who have posted. The posts I've read hear really expand upon my little warning/explaination in ways I couldn't have. Intelligent exploration of mind and all it entails will surely lead us to some very useful knowledge. Thanks again.

I've never had an experience on Salvia like those "funny trips" we can find online. It was always good - a celebration. You just have to be in a normal mood, with one or two true friends (not those idiots that start laughing) and let go. For me it worked best in contact with the nature, but I had no problem when I made it at home.

By the way, turn off that cameras and keep it personal. You can be more than a 15 minute fame seeker.

@andrefreakincreator Not out for my 15 minutes, just posted this to educate.

Is this FEAR response similar to say the rush (onset) of a big heroin/narcotic injection for first time users?? The feeling of something terribly wrong.....dread.

[raltenbach]

@smallpeckerman Can't say, as I avoid all narcotics, but I think it's a safe bet to say no.

FINALLY......an informed and informative

video and someone speaking who is

intelligent!.......I agree, this vid should be

AT THE TOP....before stupid vids like

"gardening on salvia" and stupid teens

giggling and acting like morons.

salvia is not a GAME.......wake up!

Good video. It's the ego or 'self' that dies not YOU.

[TeamBonklers]

My friends recorded me two of my three trips, I was upset at first, but when I was like "okay I gotta see how stupid or weird I looked" We went to watch the first video and it played video and audio for about a minute and then right when i started screaming "oh my god, oh my god..." (still not sure if I believe i god)the video part of the footage halted and you can only hear screaming and moaning. The next time about 3 months later, the same thing happened on a different friends cam...

Wise words indeed, your video is full of insight and useful info about this staggering plant... one small gripe - the video is way too short, more please. And kids, please treat Salvia with great respect - if you take it for a 'laugh', stick a camera in someones face, and ask stupid questions like "how do you feel?" or "are you ok?" you will absolutely ensure they have a very unpleasant time. And if you think thats amusing, you are not ready for Salvia - she will bite your ass, bigtime...

@wetim99 wow.

[SosBucket]

@Gorham31 really well said.

[hampstershat123]

[dbufi]

accurate and insightful. thanks for the upload.

[BlessedGanja]

its the fear of death of ego!

[markakroll]

You have earned my respect! Oh wait. . . I'm from [THE OTHER SIDE!]

[apple1231230]

that so damn true. when i tripped i swear to you i thought thats how the world just was. i forgot EVERYTHING. even my name! and the fact that i though this was the normal way of life is what made me tripp bad because it was so chaotic, and when i started to come-too it was amazing, like opening your eyes for the first time

[Gorham31]

You have died. We have all died. Death is an undulation of consciousness. How would you know your alive unless you have been dead? That is why you know. We are so attached to this world that leaving it and seeing other realms scares us. We are so attached to ourselves that it is frightening to find out that you are not you. Salvia shows you this and if you are not prepared to see the truth, what you will feel is pure fear because of your resistance. Let go and see how your world changes.
