Firs of all, English is not my mother language so I apologize for my (future) mistakes. I decided to buy a Salvia. The man who sold it to me also sent me a big amount of leaves (maybe 8 or 10 grams?). Then I decided to get bong -but a small one-, and smoke it. I was alone with a friend taking care of my, stayed lying in the bed, in darkness, music in my ears and in an almost totally controlled environment. But I got one blow and nothing happened, just wasted one big leave. And then I used another, and I do not remember if it was before the 3rd leave -I think it is- I started feeling something, but just a very mind psychedelic effect and laugh. No more. Before trying anything I read a lot, so I was holding the smoke in my lungs, up to 25 seconds. I also applied the fire during the whole blow. But that was all my experience. So I got a bigger bong two days ago and tried with it again. Maybe because in the end my torch was stop before burning the whole leave or something, maybe because I need more dose, I just felt dizziness like when drunk. But nothing else! Today I received legal Salvia from Mazatec Shop and also a x5 -I think I am a responsible person and I am not going to try higher doses until I am sure about how my body reacts to Salvia-, but I wouldn't like to waste my opportunities so... May you give me some advice? I listened many people is a bit "immune" to it, but I think I suffered some symptoms. What do you think? Also, there is someone who suffered something similar in his/her 1st tryings? Every time I smoke I also feel a bit "terror". Not horror not panic, but I become eventually conscientious that I am going to go inside a world I cannot control; it is also relaxing, peaceful, a sense of "this is going to be thrilling by itself so just don't put your nervousness on it". Thank you all!
I think you're on the right track. Start low dose and work up to bigger doses. Do you use a torch lighter? Imo, Daniel Siebert has the best information about Salvia Divinorum. Let me know how it goes.
