Salvia Divinorum?

atat23:
If you smoke it you need a hot flame (torch lighter) and to hold the smoke longer than with weed. As long as you can, basically.

There are about 10% of people who get nothing at all from salvia but it doesn't sound like you'äre one of them.

i think it burned quite well, i rigged up a normal lighter so i could hold it right up to the bowl and the bong filled up nicely wit the smoke , maybe need to hold the smoke longer, i read 30 secs so held it for about that, i have more so will try agin soon, just keep the tips rolling in

Seriously, a regular lighter is not good enough.
A regular lighter may get some of the salvinorin to vapourise but only a fraction.
Try the same with a good butane torch lighter

what sort of gap should you leave between hits then?

The effects should start to hit you while you're still holding it in. It peaks a minute or so later.


If you don't want to keep buying the stuff, you can grow your own. It'd cost more initially, but if you decide that you like the experience enough to have it around regularly, this will save you massive amounts of money in the long run.

The plants seriously aren't much more than a gram of 10X, and you can have several plants and just pick and dry your own leaves. They aren't hard to maintain, either, from my research. Just be sure to read up on how to take care of them; they like plenty of water/mistings and cool places. Dry the leaves like you would dry any other herb. One method is to lay the leaves around outside inside some newspaper pages, for example.

You can create your own 10X extract with some dried leaves, acetone (you'll probably have to buy this but it isn't expensive), and something to filter the dried leaves out. You pretty much dissolve the salvinorin in acetone, and then add in dried leaves and let the acetone evaporate in low heat. The salvinorin soaks back into a smaller quantity of leaves, and you thus have "10X," or about 10x the salvinorin per quantity of dried leaf.

If you plan on sticking with salvia, you should consider eventually doing this, because you'd save a lot of money, and the quality is pretty much the exact same as commercial salvia. Read instructions on other pages, though, because I haven't given you enough info to go off of alone.
