A friend told me about Salvia a few weeks back. I’d heard of it before but never really had any contact with it. “Don’t try it” he told me “it really messes you up”. I eventually took heed of this sage advice.

But I crumbled. Last night I acted on the negative suggestion that he had planted in my mind. I ordered a sample of the drug from the Internet and decided to try smoking Salvia.

The first think that struck me as I opened the neatly wrapped package was that it stank worse than a skunk that didn’t wash enough. This thing really, really smells bad.

I popped some of the crumbly black substance into a pipe that I’d acquired for the sole purpose of smoking Salvia and I applied a lighter. I lightly inhaled the smoke and took a breather. It didn’t taste at all nice. I was intending to take another toke when I felt the tingling start in my leg.

From my leg the strange sensation moved to the rest of my body and the trip was in full swing. Within a minute I was completely incoherent and I certainly didn’t know where I was.

Smoking Salvia is certainly not something that those of the faint heart should consider. I’m glad I tried smoking Salvia but it might not be something that appeals to everyone. There’s only one way to find out!
