No effects... what am I doing wrong?

[Darith]

OK, so I bought some salvia "standardized 20x extract" today and I've looked around on the package and on the website it directed me to and I can't figure out what exactly the correct dosage is for this strength? The package says it contains 8 mg of salvinorin A, I read that 1 mg of pure salvinorin A is the "maximum" dosage so I divided the package into 8 seperate piles. I just want to make sure I have this right before I smoke this...

Also, should I start with a smaller dosage since this is my first time using salvia? I've used acid, shrooms, K, DMT, but I've heard that salvia is quite unique so, again, I just want to make sure I'm doing this safely.

It might be a bit too much, even, and the more you use it the less you need.

I'd say divide these again in half and see where it takes you. Have someone present to stop you from running around/doing stupid things.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply! I think I'll take one of these piles and split it with my buddy, and my sister will be "sitting" us. I bought 2 packages so if it doesn't do much we have plenty more to experiment with. Thanks again!!

 

[Forkbender]

Welcome.

Just one more thing. If it doesn't work, don't assume that more is better. Try maybe a little bit more, but remember that it will be stronger if you have more experience. It can whoop your ass easily.

Let us know how it went, please!

Perhaps you guys better go one at a time.

Make sure you keep a flame over the herb as you inhale, and keep the smoke in for as long as you can. Have a nice ride.

20x was strong enough for me, i just packed a bowl and hit it really hard(not all of it burned), and held it in, and almost instantly i was lookin at myself from above!!

 

[Darith]

Well, my friend wimped out but I went ahead and smoked some and the results were.... nothing. I started with 1/8th of the package, in my wooden pipe (with screen) and took a couple large tokes (keeping the flame on it the whole time) and held them in for a good 25-30 seconds each. I went inside, laid down, and after 5 minutes of no results I went out and smoked another 1/8th of it. Came back inside, laid down........ nothing. So then I emptied the rest of the package into the pipe, smoked it.... and still nothing.

I felt some very mild effects, slight loss of balance, a more vivid/creative imagination, but they were so mild it could have just been wishful thinking.... am I doing something wrong?

I've only tried 5xstandarized, however I suggest you just load as much as you can take in one hit and just do that.

 

[Darith]

I could barely feel the smoke but I have heard that salvia smoke is supposed to be hot and harsh, so I am thinking it was not burning hot enough? I had the lighter on the herb the whole time I was smoking it though....

edit: changed the thread title

 

[BrainEater]

i heard that for some people it has no effects, because there's supposed to be a difference in the DNA or somethin... don't know whether it's true though..

 

[Darith]

I just smoked the other package. All of it. Aside from being a bit lightheaded, I feel nothing... Please will someone experienced help me? I was really looking forward to trying this and I'm getting very frustrated.

A lot of people dont get any effects the first times they try it . Just keep trying .

On the other hand maybe you got ripped off ?

Yes I've heard that as well, but what I smoked this morning apparently contained "8mg Salvinorin A" and I felt absolutely nothing? Either I'm doing something wrong or I'm immune to this stuff....

The brand is "THE STANDARDIZED SALVIA DIVINORUM 20x extract" and the Z is backwards. I swear I've seen the same brand before on other websites, just can't remember where. I bought it from a convenience store. They have 30x and 40x as well, should I try one of those?

 

[GOD]

Just keep trying but maybe try some from another source as from what i`ve read it can go off and not be effective anymore .

The first few times i didnt get anything at all and thought that it might all be bullshit about it being a strong drug .

 

[Darith]

Unfortunately I live in a relatively small town and it's extremely hard to find anything around here. I have to drive to the next town just to get weed... and finding the convenience store that sold it was pure luck, I'm pretty sure it's the only place in town that it's available.

"from what i`ve read it can go off and not be effective anymore"

what does this mean?

 

[GOD]

That it has a shelf life and after that it doesnt work anymore .

 

[Darith]

Well I did end up finding another store that sells it but it's the same brand...

I bought some anyways thinking maybe the other stuff was past it's shelf life like GOD said. Does anyone have any experience with this brand? I'm assuming it's a good brand since it's sold in stores (and more than 1 store) but a first hand account would be very helpful.

The brand name is in one of my previous posts, and if needed I can upload a pic.

Dude. Coca Cola is sold in stores and kills people on a daily basis.

 

[GOD]

Yep , and in one shop it tastes good and in another shity and flat .

If you didn't get ripped off and your metabolism is normal, something that could have gone wrong would be burning temperature. What did you smoke it with? I know I didn't get any results, even with large amounts of salvia, until I used a small butane torch (like 1300°C-ish); then it sure as hell worked, even with small doses (like 0,1 g of 20x extract). But some people seem to trip just fine with a Bic lighter, so it's only something to consider.
