you can trip off of 5x, 10x will trip most people into another world. you can trip off of the leaves by them self if you are an experianced smoker (cause you have to smoke alot of it like 2 cones all at once) of chew 16 leafs in 15mins, CHEW NOT EAT. stomach acid kills the active chemicals.
haha, I felt the same way. I smoked some 10X (only 2 big hits, held in for a long time) and there is was no way i could have been prepared for what happened to me. It was a shock to say the least. It was good though, it shook me up a little, but now I value the experience very much and feel like I learned more from it than perhaps any other drug. I feel like experimenting with it again soon...but not too soon. I think just the fact that you've considered mentally and spiritually preparing yourself for the experience puts you in a better position than most, best of luck.
