Relaxing enviroment is supposed to be like the number 1 thing to having a good experience. Was your enviroment comfortable? I've heard smoke until you can't physically operate your piece, then you sitter should take it away. Also 5x might be a little low. I think 15x is recommened for your first time?!?! I'm not sure. Salvia is on my to do list, so I apologize that my information is not first hand. Sorry to hear you had a less than desireable experience. Maybe not mixing it with weed next time would help things??? Just a thought.
