Dose - What's the right dose?

[drogadicto]

Hello, I'm doing some research here, trying to get informed before I use this so-called salvia.

Please tell me what's the right dose, what are the variables you must count to not get overdose or feel nothing.

Would appreciate any advice.

Hei mate I found an article of dosing with salvia.
Here it is:

Salvia divinorum is most often smoked, but can also be used sublingually or orally (chewed and swallowed), producing effects that last longer but have a slower onset than when smoked. Many people find it difficult to achieve full effects by smoking plain dried Salvia leaves. Those who are successful may require multiple large hits from a pipe or bong. Typical smoked doses with plain leaf range from 0.2 to 0.5 grams, or about one large, dried leaf.

---------------------------------------------------
Smoked Salvia divinorum Dosages (Avg Potency Leaf)
Light .25 g
Common .5 g
Strong .75 g
---------------------------------------------------

Onset : 30-180 seconds
Duration : 5-30 minutes
Normal After Effects : 30-60 minutes


---------------------------------------------------
Smoked Salvia divinorum Dosages (5x Extract)
Light 1/20 - 1/10 g
Common 1/15 - 1/6 g
Strong 1/8 - 1/4 g
---------------------------------------------------

Onset : 30-180 seconds
Duration : 5-30 minutes
Normal After Effects : 30-60 minutes

Safe trip!

Aside from the actual content of plant material, there are a few other things SWIY should know.
SWIM beleives that overdose on salvia is impossible(could someone confirm or deny this?) but one may still have a bad experience regardless of the dose, so make sure SWIY is in a comfortable environment with a sitter that SWIY trusts and is prepared for what may happen to SWIY(meaning what state of mind SWIY will be in after SWIY smokes the salvia).

SWIY should also know that higher temperatures are required to burn the plant material as compared to say tobacco or marijuana, so SWIY may want to hold the flame over the plant material the entire time SWIY is inhaling. Many people say butane torch lighters will solve this problem but SWIM has personally had no need for one.

If SWIY has not already read about what kind of experience is to be expected from salvia then SWIY should do so before SWIY uses salvia.

SWIM is assuming SWIY is going to smoke the plant material, is this the case or did SWIY intend to try the quid method?

A good dose is one to two hits from a bowl. about 1/16 is a good start. just hold the smoke in after the first hit till SWIYs vision starts to change, then breath out and swiy is gone! start small and have a sitter.

The biggest problem with first uses of Salvia is the concentration. Which usually ranges from 10x all the way to 60x. Most first time users don't know about this and usually the dealer sells whatever he wants. SWIM knows some people that have smoked bowls of this and felt little to nothing. But he has also seen some that have taken 1 hit and is in another world. Try something around 15x to 20x for the first go around. And a sitter is absolutely necessary on salvia. SWIMS first time was trippy, he took one hit of 20x from a bong and started having full blown hallucinations. But SWIM has a very low tolerance to all drugs, could differ from SWIY
