Salvia: a waste

say*

 

everyone I have given it to that smoked it right have triped hard

 

Seconded, EXCEPT for 1 person, but he didn't burn all the salvia, and he didn't hold it in long enough (talk about lack of constitution, hehe), but even from what he did get out of the salvia, he did get some very mild effects.

Edit: Also, I'm sure that there are a lot of people who don't trip or have powerful experiences because they (1) don't know how to smoke it right, as a lot of people try to smoke it like cannabis, but that will only get you about 1/10th of the desired effects, and (2) are actually using fake Salvia, since there are several online headshops that try to market other species of the Salvia plant as Salvia divinorum.

 

i shoulda tried grav bonging it before my pars found my salvia and stole it ...embarassing

 

before i only used a very small pipe. obviously my mistake

 

this lady at a head shop told me you could buy seeds at any garden place after looking and just finding other strains I knew it was b.s.(but at least they had good salvia at the shop)she must have been thinking just salvia all the same or trying to spred disinfo.

 

Exactly. Now, there are other species of Salvia that are psychoactive (Salvia splendens for example), but the vast majority are not, and people tend to think "well if it's got Salvia in the name it must be Salvia in the box" but that isn't always the case; this is why you should only buy Salvia from someone if they claim that it is "Salvia divinorum" (or whatever species you are looking for), and never just "Salvia."

 

I have tripped on Salvia probably 20 times, and never used a torch. My technique involves putting about 1 gram dried Mazateca leaf from my local head shop, or iamshaman.com in the slider, torching it throughout the whole hit, (you know your on the right track if you hear sizzling), and then inhaling the whole hit and holding it until I start speaking in tongues, hallucinating or having OBE's. P.S. treat Salvia with as much respect as you can muster. Salvia can make DMT seem wimpy.

 

Aye, I've gotten good effects using only a regular lighter, but it is usually a fair amount more difficult.

 

my guess is your pipe is long stemmed or has water or a wide bowl if the torch is necessary.
