Dose - Salvia 25x instead of salvia 15x: worth it?

[Heretic.Ape.]

Is it really worth paying twice as much to go for 25x instead of 15x?

[Cryptic Concoction]

Certainly not, unless SWIY is acutely insensitive to the effects of salvinorin A.

There is a pervasive misconception regarding salvia that "more is better." This could not be further from the truth and all too many understimate the raw power of salvinorin A to cleave one's mind asunder.

15x, assuming that it is authentic, is an incredibly powerful fortified leaf extract. Over time, with repeated trials one can become more attuned to the effects that salvia renders and much lower doses can deliver powerful effects.

Do not be deluded by the rhetoric of vendors that we all must clamor for 60x extracts packed to the top of the bowls of our gravity bongs. It is an absurd assertion, and all potential salvia users should approach it with respect for its profound conscious altering prowess.

Please bear in mind that this is by no means a recreational substance in the classic sense and it has the capacity to strip consensual reality entirely away from the tenacious grasp of even the most stable mind.

Using a low concentration will deliver no user any harm. Using an extract that is far more powerful than the user is prepared for can induce abject trepidation.

Every user should start slow and take time and consideration to understand the capabilities of this plant and the interactions with the user's mind and body. The first few trials can be very deceptive, obscuring the unbridled power that reposes underneath the cloak. Over time, many users find that they become sensitized to salvinorin A's effects.

In consideration of exact quantity of Salvinorin A recieved. NO

at 30x to 15x with double the price respectively it would be equal.

Assuming of course the product is a Standardized Extraction.

If the product was say 40x vs. 15x and the 40x only costed double (Again assuming SE) then yes.

It just comes down to Dosing. If you are uncomfortable dosing with minutia then you might be inclined to pay more for a less potent product for that quality in and of itself.

PERSONALLY SWIM preffers a higher concentration because he doesn't have to smoke as much and is not uncomfortable measuring minutia. Tip of a knife blade works great for determining a dose of 50x for Swim. All the concentration means is that you need less to get that same experience.

No in swim's opinion. personally swim has been very happy with the price/strength ratio of his 5x sash. He'd like to add that he's pretty cheap as well. He fills up his glass pipe, torches a huge bowl in one rip, then is off into salvyland. It's an easy amount to measure and allows for repeatable testable trials.

[abraham]

no, 15. should be plenty

[cra$h]

swim's never done anything less that 20x, exept for strait leaf, and has found that the higher x pushes swim into more dimensions. Like at 60x, swim will travel through a ton of universes, while at 20x, he'll chill in one or two, and it just seems you're being rocketed slower.

[complete_stoner]

it all depends on how hard u want to trip my friend. just as cra$h said, 15x you'll be kinda weird and it'll be fun, but 60x is intense and you'll trip balls. you'll never look at things the same again

It all depends really.

The only thing which really changes with the different strengths is the amount one needs to smoke to achieve the same level of effect.

If SWIY is able to break through (assuming he wants to) on 15x, then he doesn't <i>need</i> to buy any stronger stuff. However, it might still be useful if he is a a non-smoked and wants to cut down on the amount to inhale.

Also, in theory, it could be cheaper to buy the stronger stuff in the long run.

2g of 10x will cost more than 1g of 20x, but I can't imagine one would be able to smoke exactly half the amount of 20x than they would of 10x.

Finally, the higher you go, the more likely you are to be ripped off. Especially with the flavoured extracts which claim to be 60+x are usually reported as being fairly weak.
