I just got a 20x tincture from iamshaman and haven't felt a thing. I used 6 droppers in 25 minutes undiluted. Am I doing this wrong? Help me out!
I think something should have happened. Did you read on other websites the doseage? I wouldn't know too much about the tincture other than the effects are weaker than smoking. I would try dosing it all at once, I know the tincture is horrible to do so, but just try. Good luck, and I hope it works out!
I think its a fake, I took so much of that sht my mouth sore and even smoked it in a homemade water bong. It tastes good like parsely, or maybe I got use to the flavor hah. Only thing happened to me is watched too much Robot Chicken while constructing my bong.
I got some tincture and I most certainly did get some of the telltale signs the effect is coming, but never really went "into" it. Possibly my mouth was oversalivating, which is hard to contorl as the stuff stings under the tongue rather fiercely. Shame, I'd like to try something different than smoked. I've seen a couple techniques on using a tincture including ingesting after several seconds in the mouth (I see no sense in this as compared to letting it sit under the tongue) and diluting it and swishign around the mouth for 30 seconds before swallowing, repeat several times every few minutes. I got some more ordered, may only have a dose or so left to retry. If my next couple tincture attempts don't work, I'm done.
From what I have seen around the interwebs the tincture is used on top of dried leaves and left to dry that way the leaves soaks up the salvia divinorum extract and you get the desired strength once smoked. Is there any reason why I wouldn't be able to smoke this dried on a cigarette?
Tinc can be hit or miss, just like chewing quids. Tinc is hard to hold in yer mouth for so long the pain almost isnt worth it. Chewing a wad of fresh leaves might get you the desired effect, but that requires, well, fresh leaves. Quids of dry rehydrated leaves can do almost as well, but again, it isn't easy to hold in your mouth so long, especially without spitting and swallowing. Your tinc, especially from IAS is probably just fine. Method, set, setting, tolerance and the fact that you are a first timer probably is the more likely cause. Though quite untraditional, the strongest effects generally come from smoking. It took me several tries to recognize the signature of salvia, even with monster doses. Now I could smoke a tiny piece of regular leaf and recognize it. A decent hit of regular leaf takes me to level 3, A few hits to be close to 5. One hit of 10x puts me into 5 easily. Just keep listening. Anyway, once you understand you wont be in such a big hurry to repeat it more than likely. I enjoy smoking it and it takes me some time to convince myself I want to talk to the Lady again. Wait for the PERFECT times that come up for her, dont rush or you will be disappointed. Witchdoctor
Slavetoit, you could theoretically do that yes, but tincs are designed to be held in the mouth for absorbtion. If you want stronger leaves to smoke , buy extract so you dont have to wait for the tinc liquids to evap off. WD
OK I am convinced this isn't a fake now. way to go Iamshaman.com you rock! What I did: 1. I put about half a dropper of 20x tinc on my cigarette. (because i am new I didn't want to add too much). 2. Let it dry. 3. smoked it. Ok. I AM NEW TO SMOKING hahah! I didn't feel anything until I took a really good hit from my cig. I mean I took almost nothing but smoke to my lungs (and it hurt) and held it in for a while. What I felt was wonderful and a bit woosy like I was drunk. I can't wait to try this again!
Hmmmm, well on second thought it might just be the nicotine I am feeling since I never smoked before lol. I'll keep experimenting.
Nicotine will make you woozy if you're new to it. Salvia will make you not there if you get a breakthrough. Since you know you can take in a lungfull, I highly recommend smoking an extract for one hit. Much easier.
I don't think you're supposed to exceed 30 some-odd doses in a day, I heard it was unhealthy to consume that much ethanol. I think it's a good idea to grind up some bud or an other smoking herb and completely soak all of the tincture into it. I would then put it on a surface that doesn't absortb the liquid and let it dry for a couple hours. I think this should work... I doubt that it's fake tincture because it's from Iamshaman, but it is possible that there is something wrong with it... I hope you get this mess sorted out...
Ok this is my apology to Iamshaman. I thought that I ordered the 20 extract but I got the shepherdess essence tincture. thanks for your patience anyway forum guys! I am gonna down this whole fucking bottle even though it says not for human consumption because I am such a dumb ass lol
Haha, ya, if you consume that much ethanol, what happens is you get drunk. Ethanol is grain(drinking) alcohol. It is the same shit that is in beer. I drink the same ethanol I make salvia extract with, I just mix it with cranberry juice Again, there is no point in buying tincture if your goal is to smoke it, unless you need to steath them around in cigarettes for some reason. Tinc is pretty expensive dose wise. Dont down the whole bottle, keep it under your tongue. If you shoot it like a drink you will be in for an unpleasant horrible surprise when that high proof alcohol hits your throat. It also will have no effect. Have a good one.
I just used the rest of the bottle under my tounge still nothin gonna get some leaves to smoke then we'll see!
