alright, i have my water bong here and about 10 grams of dried salvia divinorum. i know that a dried leaf dose is simalr to the following for the average person:

.25 gram - light effects
.5 gram - moderate effects
.75 to 1 gram - strong effects

i know the proper smoking techniques (long water bong rips, hold about 20 sec. each, keeping the flame on the salvia pracrtically the whole hit). my question was for a 1st timer , should I start with like a moderate or heavy dose to get the full prespective of salvia, or should I work my way up from light doses?

also, would outside at night (say on a deck or patio) ruin the experience?, because that works much better in my situation, as my parents aren't that fond of smoking. thanks guys, any replys are awesome :thumbsup:
Unless you are talking about extract, nothing will happen. Smoking Salvia leaves will do extremely little to nothing. You only smoke the extract. There are methods for leaves, but I wouldn't waste my time I'd go straight for the extract. But since you have it, you might as well try it out.

Obviously start with a very small doesage for your first time. You have no idea what you are in for. I would reccommend against doing it outside because a lot of people report an extreme raise in body temperature, so a warm summer night would not be good.

Here is everything you need to know
