dont smoke the leaves. the leaves are only cool when you chew em in enormous quantities... do 10X + (not more then 20x) for your first time. and take 2 good hits (make sure you hold the smoke for atleast 20-30seconds each hit). and you should be good
One hit of 10x, of 1/10 of a gram can be more than enough to achieve a breakthrough trip for some. Even less was enough for me...And I would never do it again. If I take it its like 1/20, and dont see why i would. If you want a 'begginer' trip. Just smoke a pinch. Ya know, a small bit. You might not reach effects the first time, but after 3or4 hours in intervals , it should work. The bong is the best cuz you can take the whole bowl in one hit. Pmeth, I guess you can go for 10x. More concentration than that is just smaller bowls.
