Recommended potency for first-timer

I've never tried Salvia and I'm going to try it soon.. but what potency of Salvia do you recommend for a first-timer? I'm asking because a few months ago me and a friend went to a smokeshop to buy some Salvia but the shop only had 10x and 20x in stock.. and I didn't think it was a good idea. Also, is it better chewed or smoked? I've heard that chewing leads to a more spiritual kind of trip while smoking freaks you out.. but I don't know how much of this is true.

 

Salvia is unique. If you want a mind-blowing worth-while, possibly mind changing, possibly scary, fun, amazing, distinct experince.. then try 20x.. 10x has the same effects, but you need half the amount with 20x!

 

the extracts can be shocking.
terribly wondrous
plain leaf might dissappoint but it is safer. you can keep smoking or stop as the effect builds.

lately I have been enjoying salvia joints in the park with my sketchpad.
after 4 well held tokes I am certain every squirrel, bird and cat knows my name.

extract must be done in a pipe in a more protected area so you can lie down comfortably if necessary.

I would start small, chew the leaves or smoke the 5x in my opinion...

 

Fuck that. First time I ever did salvia I did a $5 hit of 20x and I got stuck in a bottle of realitys then got locked into a island inside a bottle that mirrored over from the other realitys.. it was crazy.. never been so scared, never been so stoked in my life..
