Standardized 6X Salvia extract: first time questions!

I just posted a thread about Salvia on the Exotic Psychedelic Plants forum, because I didn't know this forum existed.

I decided I was gonna buy 1 gram of standardized 6X Salvia extract from iamshaman.com, unless I can find standardized 5X or 6X at my local head shop, for my first Salvia trip. What does everyone think? Good choice? Now how many hits of that 1 gram should I take for a decent trip, but keep in mind this is gonna be my first time... so I don't wanna get fucked-up or anything...

 

My recommendation:

Take one medium sized hit. Or, roughly 1/8th of a gram. Hold it in long, and torch it hard. You may not trip, but you should feel something.

I consider a "strong" trip from 6x to be about 1/5th of a gram, in one huge or two medium/large hits.

Then again, I always get non-standardized; though there isn't THAT much of a difference.

 

So do you think I should go 1/5th the first time? That's it I ordered it btw My local head shop doesn't sell Savia.. "crossing a line" they said.. heh. It's probably gonna become illegal here in NJ pretty soon.. I guess it already is in NY..

So, I should just use my bong, right? With ice-cold water or even crushed ice?

 

iam a shaman is great
I use less than Hikaru
like 1/20th to 1/30th of a gm of 5x
small pipe
regular lighter

 

Dumb question sorry: how exactly do you measure it?? Like how do you know you're taking just 1/5th or 1/8th or whatever?

 

break it up in two five equal parts....,you only need about two to three hits

 

I'd just eyeball it. If you dont get it all in on your first and second hit, no amount of smoking it afterwards will really do anything. So eyeball out a good amount that would give you one or two good hits. After using it once or twice you'll get a decent understanding of it.

 

when using 5x i take three hits of a bowl filled with 1/5 a gram. that works alright without getting TOO nuts.

 

Did it.. I posted my experience on this page:
