A half gram of 5x salvia for a first timer?

Is a half or quarter gram overkill? Where should I start? I don't want to get giggly and waste the opportunity to have an experience. Speaking of that, I've been told 5x can't really put you in a different place no matter how much.

I have standardized, and my source says 20 mg salvinorium A. in the gram, if that matters.
 
Start with a bowl, take a big toke, and go from there. Everyone has different levels of sensitivity to Salvia. This goes for all psychedelics, but with Salvia it is extreme- there are total hardheads who never feel a thing, and people who "go places" on plain 1x Salvia leaf.

5x is a nice starter extract. Pack a bowl, smoke it, hold it in for 20 seconds, wait a minute, and see if you need more.
 
I've heard that 20x is one of the best ways to start, thats what I did and I found it VERY pleasant.
 
If you are wanting a good strong salvia experience, if after a minute you can move you haven't smoked enough. I would always advise trying to clear the whole bowl in one in a bong, if you don't have a torch lighter completely torch the bowl, then hold it in till you forget.
 
My first breakthrough was with 5x. It should be plenty. Just fill the bowl (a small bowl). You need to take it in one hit preferably, a big full drag. Hold the lighter over the Salvia Divinorum for the entire drag. Then take it down (don't cough) and hold it deep for 30 seconds. If you don't feel it starting to hit you in 30 seconds, you either didn't take enough, or you didn't smoke it properly. I've seen many friends waste their hits by either coughing most of it out, or exhaling far too soon, or letting their hit out slowly over the 30 seconds.

Wow, you broke through on 5x? I keep hearing "40x 60x 80x". But yeah, good advice, big lungful + hold it. Thanks. I'll be using a bong, so the smoke will be easier to hold.
 
The salvia extract x's are overrated in my opinon, I've seen headshops sell 80x in the form of 3 20x tubes. Unless your getting from a decent source it's a label and it's worth being careful in case you get a high extract (without low extract experience)breakthrough and it completely rips you apart. Smoking method is really, really important with salvia to get it to work its magic.

That's shitty. My source is pretty honest and they hand pick the wild plants, use ethanol vs. acetone etc.. But I've hear their 5x is strong. Like 7.5-10.

As for smoking:Get Bong- light bowl (with bic) keep it lit during the entire draw - inhale slow - get big lungful - hold 30 seconds

Only thing I'm concerned about is not using a torch, but if I keep it on there I guess the sal. A will burn.
 
^I've never been able to breakthrough on a 20x extract, but I have on 5x and 10x. It definitely depends on the person who makes the extract, his tek, the clones he uses, and the way he grows them. I've had all sorts of different potencies of extract, and the effects just don't correlate to the number that describes the ratio. Standardized extracts are better to work with because you know what you are getting (supposedly).
