    I heard lots of people around me talking about how great salvia was. So I gave it a go, and another and another, etc. But I just couldn't get anything. :( Maybe the strength of the stuff I've had is shit. I dunno I'll have to ask my friend what it was. But we do tend to get all the week drugs here in Ireland :mad:
    Could anyone tell me of good ways to take it? Something I might have been doing wrong. I've taken it in spliffs, bongs and pipes :&
    Sorry about this now but I'm really dumb when it comes to logic.

    Hold in the smoke for longer..... aim for 30 seconds.. this may seem like a long time - but the more you hold it in the more effect it has on you.

    Setting is crucial and is the most important thing in your experience. Find a dark room or do it when it's dark outside.. be open to the experience and let the salvia spirit guide you.. try to let go. Close your eyes.. try not to communicate much.. just concentrate on the experience.

    Yes I've done all of the above. I live in the country side, it's peaceful. I've done it during the night outside and at many different times of the day. I hold the smoke for a long time anyway, especially when we play traffic lights. It happens a lot when I take drugs though that they don't affect me. Arghh, maybe it's just not for me. Thanks anyway everyone. I appreciate it. :)

    Correct me if I'm wrong but traffic lights is when you pass a joint around a circle holding the smoke in until it gets passed back to you. This is not the correct way to smoke salvia. It must be smoked through a pipe or bong. Try using a torch lighter. Read everything here.

    Thank you for that. Yeah I think I know where I was going wrong there. Cause I'd just use any old lighter, or a box of matches lying around and I was probably lighting it the wrong way or something. I'll give it a go again and vary my methods this time.
    Yeah that's right. Sorry there, I was speaking in general, but yes I have smoked salvia in spliffs a couple of times, before realising that it was crap that way. Then I began using a bong every other time after that and a pipe a couple of times. Thanks again everyone :)

    um well you get reverse tolerance you maybe if you keep trying while doing it properly then one day BOOM.
    then again maybe not.. good luck.

    personally i would suggest trying the extract. if you dont have any success with the leafs dont keep wastin your time on them. the extract worked very well for me and it lasted a lot longer. just make sure you read the directions. the first time i took the extract i thought that i could just drink it and get the effects but you actually have to hold it in your mouth for 15 minutes and let it absorb into the soft tissue in your mouth. i hope it works out for you, i thought it was a very coherant and enlightening trip.

    lighter does not really matter when you watch for strenght of extract and time that you hold it.

    But thats the problem I find with salvia...the slight oxygen deprivation almost always sends me into a badtrip...I cant relax before it all happens

    Hey don't feel too bad, I tried 5X extract of close to .25 grms and aside from a slight change in the physical perception of the environment moving (kind of like when you're high on bud) I didn't get anything better then that. I used a small pipe with a torch lighter and held the smoke in for around 15-20 sec. so I'm not too sure what went wrong... In any case I feel ya. I plan on trying again tonight, probably with a bong this time. But since I have also heard you get reverse tolerece from Salvia I am willing to keep trying, afterall it definitely seems worth it if you get it right. So wish me luck and fun travels. I hope you find your experiences to be enlightening as well. Peace.

    Hold ur smoke for 5-10 sec more. like 25-30 minimum... and use somethign bigger than small pipe,, home made bong out of V8 4L juice bottle is great... always works for me.

    Stand on your head and smoke it upside down. That way all the smoke will rise to the bottom of your lungs. That is were most of the salvinorin a is picked up.;)

    you dont need a torch lighter.. when you suck you're lowering the air pressure which lowers the vaporization point of salvinorum A while increasing the heat generated from your standard disposable lighter. good luck.. experiencing salvia isnt the fun part, remembering how profoundly weird^(sideways eight) it was is.

    find some 20x or better on the internet, use a bong ....take it deep ....hold as long as possible. If that dosn't work you have a very high tolerence and should give up!
