Defending Your Life - On Drugs


I've heard of people having these "flashbacks" from their lives, specially from people with Near Death Experiences. But I also hear that from people using DMT and specially Salvia Divinorum.

I'll post an excerpt of one of these experiences:

so ive had this vial of salvia for close to 6 months. mate came over from newcastle so we thought there was no better time than now to try this drug.

so anyway, i packed myself a decent sized cone sat on the floor of my room, lit it up. i held the smoke in, all up about 1min and 10secs. [note: holy $hit!]

as i exhaled out, i sort of felt i was back in my teens years smoking cones at a friends place. i then had this sense of guilt maybe, not sure. because i am not proud of the person i used to be in the time frame when i used 2 smoke.

while still feeling like this ive sort of looked towards my computer table and inbetween 1 of the shelves i seen the past 23 years of my life get replayed in reverse (from present to past). it wasnt like i was dying and reflecting back, but as if my life was recorded on film and being displayed on a projector, every memory shown. it was very very overwelming. this lasted about 3-5 minutes

thant the effects subsided, we then went back into the lounge room to grab a drink and a cig. my mind still couldnt get over or comprhend to a certain degree of what i had just experienced.

my final thoughts:
this drug is definately not for the week minded


So be careful kids. You might end up having to actually defend your life while tripping, not a good thing.

interesting experience.

i've heard people talk about salvia like this before. one girl told me she imagined she was a baby belonging to a different family or something and she felt like she saw many years of that life before she got her wits back about her. all over the course of about 10 minutes or less.

i think i'll have to try it at some point. mushrooms are amazing, i do them about once a year. they make you very present and transcendent all at once. but salvia sounds like it's own thing altogether.
