Dusenostachys, could you tell us how you use these crystals? Do you smoke them this way, basing them like DMT? And how could you describe this experience compared to leaf or 5/10/20x extract? I'm also very interrested in your work and teks, so perhaps I might try this aswell, since I find Salvia most fascinating.
Thanks for this source of information!
Sure, you are welcome. I don't use the crystals for anything, they were just to take photographs of. Most of them have been crushed and powdered, dissolved into solvent and then reapplied to small bits of papers so that I could smoke them without all of the harsh smoke enhanced leaf produces. I have never been a smoker so I find smoking anything harsh on my lungs.
I gave away most of the salvinorin I had extracted and refined to various people over the years so don't have much left for myself and I don't use it more than once a year for a psychedelic experience anymore, so I've stopped messing around with extractions now.
There is a tek for making salvinorin infused papers, for smoking on the site, that way is the best way to smoke it IMO. Also, there is no difference, in my experience, between 5X, 10X or 40X enhanced leaf, except for the amount of smoke each produce and the amount of material needing to smoke to get you to the same place.
When smoking high purity salvinorin itself, you need to be very careful that you have an accurate weight, within a tenth of a milligram, because a half milligram of high purity salvinorin powder or crystals, if smoked properly, catching all of the smoke, is really too much salvinorin for me, toooooo intense, toooo strong. While, with 5X leaf you might need to smoke 100 mg of leaf with over 1 milligram of salvinorin in it to get the same intensity of effect that you would have if smoking salvinorin itself, once sensitized to it.
Smoking high purity salvinorin itself or enhanced leaf is all the same to me except for how much material needs to be burned to get you to the same place regardless of X-factor. Also, sensitivities vary, so for some you might need 200 mg of 5X for the intensity I experience from just one third of a milligram of powdered salvinorin itself, others needing to smoke only 50 mg of 5X enhanced leaf for similar strength. You have to find your own comfort level, getting too much is just too strong for most to want to endure very often, if even once.
