I'm trying salvia with 3 of my friends for the first time on Saturday. We're all new to it...we only smoke weed. A) How do you use extract (eat it, smoke it (if so, out of what?)) B) How much do you need to use? C) How strong is 40x? D) Are we guaranteed to trip? We want to split up in 2 pairs. First one pair will go, and then the other when the first "returns". Any additional advice?
A) How do you use extract (eat it, smoke it (if so, out of what?)) Smoke it. But take as big a hit as possible and hold it in for 20 seconds. B) How much do you need to use? One to two hits usually. C) How strong is 40x? Crazy good. D) Are we guaranteed to trip? Toke on it until you do. We want to split up in 2 pairs. First one pair will go, and then the other when the first "returns". Any additional advice? Don't smoke before hand and don't play repetitive music or you won't realize the time.
40x? Yikes. I'd start with no more than 20x, especially if you don't know how it will affect you. And make sure your babysitter is reasonably responsible (not stoned at the time themselves) and not going to interfere with you trip. I know some people are afraid they'll trip and hurt themselves or freak out... I wouldn't worry a bit about that--it's not like a PCP or LSD high (it's not that type of trip)-- freaky, but not usually scarey unless you're a total dumbass who mixes it with something over the top. It's also kind of hard to hurt yourself, when you can't really stand up...That's why it highly recommended that you sit down, or better still lay down and close your eyes for maximum trippage. Whatever and however you decide to do it, enjoy the mental expanse!!
I don't think we have the opportunity to do it inside. We'd have to go outside to smoke, and then go back in. Is that bad? Because you just said it's hard to move... And the "babysitters" are just us. I think my friend and I are sitting out first to watch the other two, and then switching to make sure no one hurts themselves.
Also, if I were to smoke it out of a bowl, would that work? Or would the extract be too fine and fall through the little hole in the middle?
use a screen. or some regular salvia leaves on the bottom then extract on the top. thats what i do, and it works. 40x is VERY strong to start with though. I started with 10x and it BLEW my MIND. be careful
You'll be fine on 40x, take two hits hold each one for as long as you can. Usually by the time your taking your second hit you will start to feel it. and by the time you exhale the seconod you will be in salvia land. happy tripping
Honestly... Just go get a damn bong or a hookah (that's what i use) They're cheap enough you can usually get them at any head shop, or order one online. Some say it's not necessary, but I recommend a butane torch to make sure its hot enough to evaporate properly. Just make sure you've got a metal bowl. No plastic crap. The rest of the bong can be plastic, but make sure the bowl can withstand the temperature. And also remember, it's harsh and tastes like dung (as far as I'm concerned--no I've never eaten dung, so don't ask) but hold it in for as long as humanly possible. Like Oblivious said it'll hit you around the second puff. And when it hits you, it hits you like a f**king train. You'll start spinning. Can't speak for the rest of you, but I got the pricklies (on 10X by the way), kinda like acupuncture. Then I felt like a deck of cards being shuffled. It was so bizarre, and scary in the coolest way imaginable--It lasted about 10-15 minutes max! But I slept for about 2-4 hours after I was done, then felt like getting up and running a marathon. Quite an experience!.
