My Salvia Experience

So yesterday morning I get up early and cruise to my friends house. I have about a few grams of Salvia and maybe a gram of 10X Salvia. So me and my friend first get high on this denk weed I have. After that we're like Okay time to man up to the Salvia we both smoked maybe two bowls out of a bong of it. Effects... Felt very high, a new kind of high though, very alert. Alright all out of the Salvia time to pack a bowl of the 10X managed enough to make two small bowls of it. Smoke it. Nothing. I just felt very alert and I had a hard time walking. Thats about it. So did we get burn. We plan to buy more off the net but from a different company. I have also heard that it is hard to get a good salvia high. Like the dimension traveling and what not...

use one of those "windproof"/"blowtorch" lighters and hold it over the salvia (ignited) while you're toking through a water bong, also hold in the hit as long as you can,

THATS how to get a hard trip from salvia, i hate the stuff personally but to each his own.

Good luck

Yeah, I had a similar experience. Did you get that salvia from justsayonce.g2gm.com ?

Ya I did mellow. I also use a blow torch held it lit till I was done with my hit. and lol I am a small dude. So I could only hold the hits in for like 15 secs

I got my stuff from the same place Mello, and you can look and see my experience with it. i don't think it's because it's bad, I think it's more poor technique. Smoking salvia is different then smoking weed and you need a special environment to make the trip truly something special. I LOVE salvia and so does my girlfriend. I recommend using a water fall bong. They are VERY easy to make and are very enjoyable. Here's how I made mine:

I got a drill from the garage, and a 24 ounce diet pepsi bottle. I then emptied out the pepsi, and set the cap on the table. I took the drill and put a hole in the cap and then a hole on the very bottom, in a location so I can comfortably cover it with my thumb. I then got a pen with a STEEL tip that you can unscrew. I filled it 3/4's of the way up with my 15x salvia and set the tip in the bottle cap. Then, I covered the bottom hole with my thumb and filled it with freezing cold water. I then screwed on the cap and set the bottle in the sink. I set my torch lighter's flame to just slightly above the salvia and move my thumb. I kept the flame DIRECTLY on the salvia as the water came out of the bottle. Then, when the water was almost all gone, I put my thumb back and took the cap off. Then, I moved my thumb and inhaled REALLY REALLY fast and until my lungs were completely full. With my lungs full I quickly stumbled to my bed and laid down, then when I couldn't take it anymore, I exhaled. If you're using plain salvia leaf, I recommend using a much larger bowl, such as a ratchet head. That way you can do it several times before you have to refill it. I've found this is the best way to inhale salvia smoke, and it's not near as harsh as inhaling marijuana via this method.

-Encatuse

Encatuse speaks the truth, technique is everything when smoking salvia. I usually smoke maybe half a bowl (something like 1/4 of a gram) of 5X and I always trip like crazy. That's why I like it, fast turnaround and intense trips. So you're probably missing something in the equation. Maybe you're smoking it wrong or got crap salvia or are just smoking in the wrong place. If you're somewhere that's too noisy or bright or you constantly paranoid about getting caught, Salvia is not going to do shit for you. Bare in mind that the Mazatec healers would smoke this stuff in front of a big fire, at night with a whole ambiance of magic around them. Not behind 7-11. ;)

Here is a quote from one of my posts a long time ago on how to smoke salvia. Donâ??t know if it will help, but here you go. Also I buy my salvia from salvia-divinorum.com. Theyâ??ve never cheated me......

â??Saliva is one of the best highs I've ever had. I've been smoking it for a long time. A lot of people say they can't get high off it. Not true, just takes a little practice because you smoke it a little different then pot. Here's some tips:

1. It doesn't take much if you have at least 5x fortified leaves. One bowl or less.
2. Use a pipe or bong. Don't waste your time rolling it.
3. Take the smoke in fast and hold it for a REALLY long time. (the active ingredient has to get to your lungs fast and stay there a while)
4. Take three hits one after another. (Take a hit, breath, take another hit and so on)
5. You should be there after that.
6. Smoke it in a quiet secluded place (nighttime at the park for me) with few people. Donâ??t talk and just focus on some object (leaves, trees, stars, the sky etc).
7. Salvia has quick turnaround. Hits you in a couple of minutes and is done within a 1/2 hour.â?�
