Arena Ethnobotanicals tincture didn't work

Hi there;

I got Salvia Divinorum tincture from Arena Ethnobotanicals. Here you can find the product: http://www.arenaethnobotanicals.com/salvia-divinorum-liquid-tincture-p-119.html

I had a shower, brushed my teeth, used Listerine Zero, flushed my mouth with some water and put three drops under my tongue. Then a friend was reading meanwhile having an eye on me. I decided to keep a light on the desk just because I'd like to avoid complete darkness before not knowing how it affects me. And then I've been waiting for around fifteen minutes before quiting. My mouth was full of saliva by that time, and nothing happened.

And then I just come here to ask you why. Any solution? More time? Bigger dose? Light off? I am not a reckless guy and I think I just followed the path, in a relaxed mood, but nothing happened.

Help, please...

 

Try a bigger dose. Proceed slowly, one or two drops more at a time, if nothing happens try again another time with yet a few more drops.

 

I am quite affraid that it doesn't work in me

 

try another tincture try the ones on - http://www.sagewisdom.org/salviashop.html - how well a tincture works depends on how much alcohol content it has and how much salvia content its got. Some tincure sellers dont have enough alcohol or salvia.

 

Thank you very much Anyway, just as a reference, this tincture is already burning my mouth so I am not sure if I will be able to resist something stronger.

By the way, so far my conclusion is not that Salvia is a hoax or not but just that is is quite hard to administrate and it depends so much in how the subject reacts to it.

 

Arena is a pretty good vendor in my experiences, so I dont really think its the product. I'd suggest trying a higher dose next time. Maybe 5 drops

 

Maybe it is that I am just resistant. I tried with 4, and then another 4 while playing just expecting some kind of dizziness. But nothing happened!

 

Hello again, gang.

I've got 4 drops in my mouth and I've waited eleven minutes before swallowing (the big majority was saliva by that time) and having 4 more drops. Then I waited another 11 minutes approx and had 4 more drops. And then waited around thirteen minutes but nothing happened.

What the...?

I stayed sited on my bed in the dark, in silence.

 

OMG, last night I just tried eight drops in my mouth when I went to bed. And just waited. What I felt could be just suggestion; no special perceptions, nothing that I could determine as an effect from the drug

And please do not think I am teasing you all, I am just reporting my (awful) experiences

 

Either you got a really week tincture or the amount of drops in the directions is conservative to avoid people tripping out too hard. I'd say try yet a higher dose. I dont think its that Salvia doesn't work on you. I believe I read a post of yours somewhere that you smoked some and got some effects right? At this point I think it might just be a weak tincture

 

Yeah, I didn't really see so much once I smoked it (tried two or three times). But I felt a lose of control, difficulty for speaking, laugh, and the impression I was sightly watching something different. So yeah, I think so; salvia works but maybe I need a bigger dose. On the other hand, the pot containing the tincture has a big amount of it, so I think you're right when you say maybe it is just a weak tincture (this is not necessary bad if we think this way you can control the dose).

So if with 8 drops I started feeling something, maybe with 16 it could be quite more intense. On the other hand, the alcohol burns my mouth...

Thank you very much and excuse my English!

 

Your English is just fine! I dont know if I'd jump up to 16 quite yet, maybe 12 or 13. Whatever you feel would be best though I say go for it

 

Twelve, waiting in front of the computer while playing. Nothing... ARGGG!!

 

How long are you holding it in your mouth? Also are you holding it under your tongue or cheeks or what?

 

Under the tongue for... maybe... 30 min? And the tincture does not seem bad... *sigh*

 

Weird. I dont know what to tell ya! Again I think its weak and the directions are really conservative, its not good at all (which I dont really think the case is), or your superman when it comes to salvia (again which I dont think is the case )

 

Man, I put twenty (not teasing, twenty) drops in my mouth and waited for 27 minutes sited in darkness. I think I got some really mild visuals, but I think they were the kind of visuals you have when mind is awake but you only provide dark to it (the completion effect, when the brain tries to fill the absence of stimuli with its own fake ones).

I wonder if I could put my tincture in someone's else mouth... That could help me to understand if it's rather me or the tincture... hahaha.

 

If it burns you mouth then i suppose the alcohol content is enough guess that particular brand doesn't have enough salvia or maybe you are just have high tolerance.

 

Hum if you read the website, it asks you to SHAKE it before using. Maybe the Salvinorin-A is in the bottom on the pot. That could make sense, so the next time I will shake it... lol.

I will keep you informed

 

Please do! I dont think its tolerance since salvia has reverse tolerance from what I hear meaning it takes less and less each time. I dont know how true that is though
