Non-Standardized salvia divinorum 10x or Standardized salvia divinorum 20x

[Jersey46l]

SWIM is looking to purchase some salvia. A source from which he is looking to purchase it from sells standardized 20x extract for $37 a gram, and non-standardized 10x extract for $10 a gram. What do you recommend to SWIM? SWIM has been a heavy marijuanna user in the recent past, but doesn't appear to have the strongest lungs for holding smoke (he often coughs during heavy smoke sessions when taking large hits from waterbongs, which is never chilled and rarely cleaned ) I have heard that non-standardized 10x is harsher than standardized 10x. Is there a significant difference? Also, can SWIM just take double the hits of non-standardized 10x to equal the 20x? SWIM thanks you in advance for the feedback.


Another related question: When SWIM smokes the salvia, will it help to drop a few ice cubes in the water and use really cold water in the waterbong? Would anyone recommend this, or another method? SWIM has access to gravity bongs, pipes, waterbongs, and a marijuna vaporizer.

First off if its your first time smoking salvia, go with the 10x cause
you dont know how well you will like it and 10x will work perfectly
fine for a newbie. Second yes using ice in a bong will certainly help
to cool the smoke down which will help you hold it in longer, and a bong will work just fine to get the effects. But
rememeber this salvia is a real big</span> mind fuck</span>.
So please take into account you setting for this trip and your state of
mind, and maybe have a sitter with you. You might not experience it
your first few times smoking it, so dont get discouraged by this and
continue trying and using it properly. Also do not drive and use this or be in public when you smoke it, this is a must!</span>

Salvia smoke isn't really all that harsh, I find it really cool on the lungs but a peice of ice will never hurt. And yeah, if this is your first salvia trip fuck doing either of them, go with 5x and use a wind-proof lighter.

i would actually say you should start with normal leaf not only will it be cheaper for you but it will introduce your body to the drug
a lot of people don't feel it their first couple times which is normal
so why start out with really expensive stuff if you may not feel it
but once you do i would say move to the 5x and then to the 10x if you still desire more

once you get your body used to it I would recomend a standerdized
source not because it is that much smother but that much more
consistant. I preweigh my doses out at 100mg and with my
standardized 5x I always know how hard it will hit me (not knowing what
the trip will be of course but how hard i'll trip) and with a non
standardized 12x I get varring results from exact pre-weighed doses.

SWIM just did salvia with 3 other people. It was their first time and 20x did nothing to 2 of them. Starting out with a lower extract is a good idea instead of wasting good salvia.
