Thats weird. I ordered some of their 15x and it was very good quality. I've never used a tincture though. Smoking salvia might just be the way to go
Hello. I know this thread is old, but I was looking for reports on how this tincture has worked for others as I just received it a few days ago and am looking for some guidelines. I do know that arena's website says DROPERFULS, not drops. So the Original Poster was likely WAY underdosing. I'll give it a go in a few days and report back if I have any success at their recommended dosage, which is between 3 & 7 dropperfuls.
From personal experience, an oral dose of Salvia in any form takes alot more than the smoked dose. It took around 3 grams worth of approximately 15x liquid extract held in my mouth for about 30 minutes for a noticeable psychedelic feeling. It was surprisingly more pleasant and easy going than a smoked dose. This was years ago, and it was a home made tincture made from what IAS used to offer in the world of Salvia. I've also read rumors that most of it actually absorbs into your mouth as opposed to your stomach because of the suggested chewing of the quid method (but I could be wrong), so that could possibly be the reason why it's not too active? Love n light.
