You know, I've had a couple friends who seemed totally unable to smoke salvia with any noticeable results. I don't know if it was an issue of technique--I watched them both attempt it several times and there wasn't anything visibly wrong with their form--but they never experienced anything other than a strange body feeling even after several attempts with extract of confirmed potency. However, sublingual administration produced powerful and frightening results for each of them.

I've heard of similar things occurring with DMT (e.g. people being unable to blast off by smoking it but getting launched into another universe by IM/IV administration). Perhaps its due to some variation in the absorbtivity of lung tissue from person to person? Or maybe it's just high natural tolerance rendering smoking impractical as an ROA? I dunno, just thinkin' out loud really.

I have wondered about lung absorption varying as well. I thought about this when high once and I convinced myself that my awesome lungs absorbed more THC than other people's lungs, and that is why I get higher. I'm not convinced now that this is the case, but it is an interesting thing to think about.

Also, I have a few friends who all did salvia and none of them had any effects (smoking 20x+ extracts). I let my friend smoke some of my salvia 10x and she had an incredibly intense experience. I think some salvia just plain sucks.

Of the few times Ive smoked DMT i got seriously high , probably the most tripped out ive been

If you smoke proper DMT you WILL blast off

I agree. I don't believe that some people are simply unaffected, I even doubt there are people with genetic mutations or something like that who have it. Because DMT is an endogenous chemical and a very close analogue of serotonin which is at the very least an active compound.
Not that we know everything about DMTs MoA but Salvia's is more complex than that.

If you burn DMT instead of vaporizing it or have a bunk product it's easy to mess it up.
Two of my friends I introduced to a modest dose of DMT really didn't understand the techique at first, even when I showed it.

OP is either trolling or got ripped off (80x salvia.. never heard of)... one bowl of 20x salvia extract, taken in one hit, kept in for 30 seconds will blow the mind of your experienced psychadelic user....

80x Salvia definitely exists. Wouldn't touch it with a shitty stick myself but some folks really do need those high-potency extracts to feel Salvia. For me, I felt nothing from Salvia (good quality 20x extract) for many attempts at it. Wasn't until I got my hands on 40x (60x really fucks me over though :|) that I believed it was anything other than bunk, personally.

One other thing worth noting is that opiate use seems to block the effects of Salvia for many - myself included - which may explain some of the cases of zero effect from even high-strength extracts.
 
I tried 40x for my first time. I wasn't expecting anything to happen, because I know a few people who told me it didnt work for them. My friend packed me a big bowl, told me to take as big a hit as I could, and hold it in as long as I could. I tripped a lot harder than I thought I would. Total ego melt. Didn't know who, what, or where I was. It was very scary at first, bt then my friend reminded me I smoked salvia and all was good.

This stuff is VERY powerful. Don't underestimate it. I've never done DMT, but I can't imagine a much harder trip than this (different, maybe)
 
I did it with three other people. It worked for two of them (I had to save one of them from leaping off a cliff into a ravine...), but it didn't work for the third. He said he felt a strong body high and a bit confused, but nothing else. I was too high to notice if he held it in or kept the lighter on it though.
 
Dammit you broke the poll!!!111!!1!!1! :!:X:!:X:!

Alternatively, I wouldn't worry too much. I do believe I (or another mod) can change your vote anyway. Depends on the type of poll though. I'll have a lil looksee :)

EDIT: Not on this style o' poll I can't. Bribe someone to vote again for you maybe ;)
 
It's been a few years, but I do remember after lighting it with a torch and holding it in for 30 seconds, I was unable to take another hit before the whole world disappeared and I was fucked for what I thought was years until I came back and had to be convinced that I smoked something and only a couple of minutes had passed.

Yeah it works. And it's way too fucked up and scary for me to even consider trying again.
 
I can breakthrough on some good 10x. I'm very sensitive to this substance. Still not sure if that's a good thing or not. =D
 
I have thought of Salvia since smoking DMT. Mainly to think how 'orrible and shitty it is in comparison, mind :D;)

Quite like it with MDMA and have no intention of binning what I have left though. Just don't use it often. Seriously headmashing stuff for me (now it works) and - more to the point - it's not a lesson I feel needs revising too often for me at the moment.

I'd like to revisit salvia one day, but my suboxone medication like totally blocks my kappa receptors.

That's interesting. I guess it makes sense. Such a wild experience tamed because the kappa receptors are occupied by another substance. It almost seems that it can't just be the kappa receptors causing the trip yet that's all we've got for now.

I voted Yes obviously.

Standing Salvia along side DMT justs make me have to pick between two unique experiences. I know I always come in and post how Salvia is very interesting and useful to me. That's no surprise. DMT is in another category from Salvia. But both are pretty incredible. I don't understand some of the trip reports and the strange negative effects. In all honesty I have heard that about DMT from some serious LSD heads long ago. The comparisons on how LSD is so much better. Yet there again are just two unique categories. I can find a use for all of them. :) But unlike most other psychedelics Salvia gets a real negative vote by a lot of people. It's something I'll never understand. Just how does it effect me one way and others another? I think Salvia is interesting beyond any drug state and has been good to me. I can't compare it against another fascinating and useful substance like DMT though.
 
Salvia most definitely worked for me. Picked up some 20x extract with a friend of mine on a boring day. To this day I can't really explain what I saw or where I was, all I know is it seemed like I had drifted away from myself. I had an odd effect at teh end of the trip, where it felt like I was being physically pushed over and over again, causing me to studder and not be able to talk for a short amount of time.

very odd trip.

The second time I tripped on salvia I don't remember any of it but from what I'v been told I basically went completely apeshit crazy for 30 seconds.
 
Firstly, comparing DMT to Salvia Divinorum is infantile, and completely illogical. They both show you very different perspectives on non-local space and dimentional realms of our universe. In simple terms, saying "yaa man, DMT blows Salvia out the window.." is like saying violins blow cellos right out the water (utterly ridiculous).

My first breakthrough with Salvia Divinorum was with 5x extract leaf. It was also my first psychedelic experience, ever. Man, it blew my fucking mind around the multiverse like a shattered crystal dancing through space-time forever, revealing to me for the very first time in my existence that this thin slither of 'life' we live in is infinitecimal compared to all possibilities.

I have tried 20x and up, and it just doesn't do it for me, yet the 5x and 10x consistently get me back in touch with the Shepherdess and her wonderful spaces.
 
Way too intense for me personally.

Literally blows my head off ; its horrid because I dont feel like me and everything feels different.
I think salvia must be very bad for the brain and mental health.

This is based on what?

It might be bad for your mental health, if you think it is. However most people have suffered no ill effects from it. Even the natives who have used the herb traditionally for hundreds of years, I would think there would be some research pointing to it if salvia had such side effects.

Furthermore, you can't judge if a substance has neurotoxic properties (bad for the brain) by ingesting that substance. Neither can you tell if it's bad for other peoples' mental health, only your own...
