I bought some 20x extract and tried it. I started with a very small amount and gradually increased the dose, 3 times in about an hour and a half. I didn't break through. Each time the first 2 minutes were like very good pot, the next 20 minutes were like mediocre pot. I'd read the peak lasted 6-10 minutes, but for me it was no more than 1 minute. The turning point was distinctly noticeable, and after the 2nd minute I was back to a mild stoney feeling. I'd also read that people don't develop a tolerance but that wasn't true for me. Each time I increased the dose but the effect was always about the same or less. the first come-up was the most intense. I'm guessing I got somewhere between levels 2 and 3. nothing profound, just stoner stuff. I'll wait a few days and then try a larger dose.
took 3 more hits last night, gradually increasing the dose. This was a good plan, as I readily adapted to the increasing intensity. 1st hit. visions were cartoony. there were story lines, too rapid and obscure to comprehend. 2nd hit. I was welcomed by 2 presences, a boy and a girl. There was somthing familiar about this place. I started to merge consciousness with the boy, then I tried to analyze what was happening and that pulled me out of it. The scene continued to play out with me observing but I was no longer immersed in it. 3rd hit. complex swirling visuals with my consciousness involved in the scene. Experienced consciousness separate from my body. another being was hanging out with me. Saw scenes from my childhood overlapping scenes from this new place. This is the first trip that lasted more than a minute or two, the intensity was gone but the comedown was gradual and had more experiences for me. Felt some effects for 5 hours until I went to bed, then felt some effects from the Salvia when I woke up. I'm beginning to see why this is not a party drug. I had neither the pleasantness of pot nor the amazement of acid. The stories may sound amazing but while it was happening it seemed perfectly normal and familiar. I've reached the limit of what my lungs can comfortably handle. this may be adequate but if I decide to seek more intensity I may need a stronger extract.
