dosage of salvia divinorum for the first timer

[coolguy]

If ever I would try to smoke a Salvia Divinorum, what is the right dosage should I take? any recommendation?

 

[Lion]

depends on what you have.
normal leaves?
5x?
10x?
20x?
30x?

with leaves you can easily fill your bong good. you probably won't feel it the first couple of times anyway. you can still go a bitt nuts on the 5 extract. but when you go higher i advise you to be more carefull and gently test your tolerance etc..

 

[restin]

I have 20x...

 

[whiskey.rock.and.roller]

i you're gonna try it, its best that you smoke already. I once tried it but i coughed my lungs out. Wich is pretty much a waste of your 15 bucks

 

[whiskey.rock.and.roller]

thereby i would go with the 5x to start

 

[restin]

nah, don't expect full effects at the first time (you may be lucky though)

 

[magickpencil]

i got full effects the first time using 20x extract in conjunction w a butane lighter and a water bong

 

[restin]

lucky you!

 

[magickpencil]

not luck
proper technique and equipment

The first time I did it, (10x) I measured out small hits and just did them one by one in a row until I felt something.. err.. tripped out.

Then I started getting a better idea of the headspace, and what dose worked for me

 

[magickpencil]

my suggestion is to use a bong w no water in it
exhale completely, light the bowl, and take a deep breath in through the bong
hold it in for about 30 seconds and you're gold & green

 

[restin]

So did I. I couldn't hold 30 seconds but I took few bowls. Well.

 

[whiskey.rock.and.roller]

is it (the cough-feeling) lighter when you use a bong? Or can you chew on the leaves? Is there a way that a non smoker can use salvia?

 

[magickpencil]

if you use a bong w water than you probably won't feel like coughing, but you will lose some salvinorin A
still works, though

 

[user_1919]

If you use a bong, and cold water, the smoke will be cooled slightly, making the 'cough factor' less. I never had a problem with coughing with Salvia, now DMT is another story!

As for dose; smoke until you feel something. You also need a sitter if you have obtained quality Salvia. I would suggest packing a good sized bowl, taking one hit, hold it in, and if nothing, go for the second. If you don't feel anything after that you most likly have lower quality Salvia, and you can take yet another inhalation. If you have good quality 20X, then I would not suggest taking more than one giant rip. That stuff will send you far far into you mind, and it gets very very bizarre, so be prepared. With 20X, use a bong, and just take it all in one hit.

PEACE & LOVE

iOr can you chew on the leaves? Is there a way that a non smoker can use salvia?

yes, as long as it's leaves (i've never heard of extract working properly when chewed).

you'll need a lot of leaves though, and patience. you need to chew at least 5g worth probably, which means scrunching it in a bit at a time, bearing the strong flavor for a good 20-30 mins without swallowing your saliva (or salvia heheh).. and if it doesn't get you where you want to go, you will need to smoke a bit afterwards. there are various techniques littered over the web actually.

although it can still get pretty crazy if you get it right, overall with the longer comeup it's more gentle, feels more like a classic psychedelic.. you are more lucid somehow, the time I got it right it reminded me very much actually of the 2nd half of strong acid trips where you start to think you might be communicating with walls and entities and stuff but slightly less visual and a bit gentler as the peak only lasts like 20-30 mins

My first experiment was with an ordinary lighter and an old-fashioned Shisha. I went in and out of the Salvia state for about an hour, then my 20X extract was finished. One or two lung fulls, kept in for a minute or so should do it.

Makeing a quid out of three or four leaves , holding it in my cheek and chewing on it always worked for me .

Out of curiosity, were they fresh leaves? In my case the leaves were dry and gawd knows in what condition (bleh).

Fresh .
