i tried salvia divinorum 120x at 16, AMA
i’m 16 and i had an experience with salvia that i’ve been thinking about a lot since it happened. i’m not here to encourage anyone to try anything and i’m not proud of the choices that led me there. i just want to talk honestly about what it was like and how it affected me afterward. at the time i didn’t really understand what i was getting into and i wasn’t thinking clearly about the consequences. the experience itself was extremely intense, confusing, and honestly nothing like i expected. it didn’t feel like a normal “trip” or anything i could easily put into words in the moment. what’s stuck with me most isn’t just what happened, but how it changed the way i think about reality, my thoughts, and how easily your mind can be pulled in directions you don’t expect.
since then i’ve had a lot of time to reflect on why i made that decision and what was going on in my life at the time that led me there. it’s made me a lot more cautious and a lot more aware of how important it is to actually understand what you’re doing before you do it. i’m doing this ama to talk about it in hindsight, what it felt like, what it changed for me, and what i’ve learned since then. i’m not trying to glorify anything, just being honest about the experience and answering questions from that perspective.
