Salvia - First Time Tips

Hey all,

Am a new user and pleasently found that this is an actual resource of past users. I salute my fellow Psychonauts.

I come bearing many questions on suggestions for a first time Salvia trip. My experience so far has been DMX, Mushrooms, Weed, Ketamine, Cocaine, Ether and something else probably that I can't recall right now.

I have poured over Erowid and many other resources and confrenced with my friends. I have come to the conclusion that this is about as serious as the strong Erowid directed dose of DXM and then some. So setting and such is key.

I decided on doing it late at night, closed door, cut telephone lines, no lights and hopefully as little sound as possibly (which could be hard considering I have a fridge that I fear may manifest in life and eat me when it does its cooling cycle) maybe I will do it in my bedroom.

I have a water bong so it won't be too much.

The sample am getting is 3grams of Salvia 10X extract. I didnt really have a choice in picking. My question is this now... Should I pack as much as possible? As suggested by my friend.

Or do what I was planning to take a lil at first and slowly level up. As I cannot have a trip sitter present. Since I did other psychedlics beforehand without on am guessing its going to be okay.

One more question, can i mix a salvia and marijuana hit in one go? Can I roll it with a J?

The resources I read say that joints are more manageable but everyone seems to recomend the bong.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 

A little, and level up
A bong.
enjoy.

 

Thank you Ancient One.

 

have your bong on the floor when you hit it or you might drop it when you start

 

effective smoking always involves getting your dose in quickly,
it is fast acting and fast releasing.
I use 1/50th of a gram of 10x most people use 1/20th of a gram of 10x
whatever your dose, try to smoke it fast (one strong inhallation) and hold it in 20 seconds.

a joint spreads this out over a longer time so you get a series of "subthreashold" peaks which is also interesting.

 

First things first. Salvia and DXM are nothing alike, no matter how you look at it.

Second start extremely small. 10x is way more than mother nature ever intended Salvia to be.

It's not really necessary to go to such precautions as getting rid of all outside communications, like unplugging the phone and whatnot. The trip won't make you hallucinate freaky-ass things and run around the house yelling "make it stop!!", but do what you have to. A good setting is always key. If things go correctly, there's a good chance you won't even be able to move for a few minutes. Moving while on Salvia (at least for me) is the worst physical and mental feeling ever. A meditation is a good choice. Music is also annoying as shit to me when I'm on Salvia.

As for mixing weed and Salvia, it'll probably just waste your weed since Salvia needs to be under an open flame the entire time your hitting to release the Salvinorin A, or a good amount of it. While I guess it is possible to smoke Salvia from a joint, it's not going to give you the "catapult-into-hyperspace" mind-fuck that Salvia is so famous for. If you want to mix weed and Salvia, just smoke the weed beforehand (IMO).

A good hit of the 10x out of the bong and you'll be set. If you need to take another, then you've probably done something wrong.
