This is a little different trip report/post, and my first, so I hope it's within the guidlines (which I *did* read) enough to be allowed to stay...
First of all let me say that I've been using Salvia for quite a few months, after making my first purchase of 10x extract back in May. I'm very well aquainted with The Salvia Goddess you could say...
I really can't give you an estimate of how much 10x I've smoked in one sitting... probably 1/8th of a gram or more. What I really wanted to describe here was the differences I experienced between the smoked 10x and the sublingual/swallowed tincture.
The smoked 10x Salvia produced a intense, yet short lived trip (this we all know from reading anything about salvia)... my first 3 or 4 attempts produced exactly the same sequence of events... There would always be a bit of visual distortion before and after the peak, enhancment of shaddows and seeing "sparks" or tiny points of light all over my field of vision. Almost immediately after exhaling (most all substances hit me FAST), I would open my eyes and be in a cartoon land, and I would be an inanimate object, all of this accompanied by feelings of pulling or heaviness. This produced strong feelings of helplessness, and feeling very un-important. While the physical aspects of the trip weren't unpleasant, the mental reverberations forced me to do a lot of self realization. These experiences helped me realize my issues of feeling helpless and insignificant in day to day life, but once I made these realizations and faced them, my trips began to change. Every trip since (on smoked 10x) produced some ecstacy-like effects... amplified senses, desire for physical contact (sexual and non-sexual), euphoria and a powerful "need" to move and/or dance. The only thing that didn't come with it was the energy. On some occasions I would follow a few tokes of pot with the salvia, and this would extend the effects up to an hour before coming down. On a secondary thought, salvia always produced vivid, and really weird, dreams.
A few days ago I recieved a shipment of Salvia... it ended up being the wrong product. I had wanted more of the 10x, but accidentally ordered the tincture (don't ask, I didn't do the actual ordering on-line). After the initial dissapointment it was decided that we'd (my bro Steve and I) had wanted to try the tincture anyway, so now was as good a time as any.
The first attempt was with a small dosage, appx .75 mil (one dropper full). My experience was quite mild, lasting only about 30 minutes tops. I felt a bit euphoric, energized and aroused... and the same visual distortions, but much more mild... the effects weren't anything I couldn't have shrugged off and straightened out quickly. My bro Steve got no effects that he could tell. A little dissapointed, we waited for the next time, when we'd up the dosage a bit.
Second attempt:
Dosage- appx 3mil (4 droppers full, 2.25 swallowed, diluted in 1/4 cup of water, .75 sublingual swallowed after less than one minute)
Timing:
Onset- 15 minutes, peak- appx 45 minutes, comedown- 1.5 hours (apprx of course... some of the after effects are quite subtle and at times you don't even notice it).
Effects:
Moderate to strong body-buzz/load, slight amplification of senses, *strong* desire for physical contact (sexual and non-sexual), mild euphoria/giddiness, the ever-present (yet much more subtle) visual distortions (as described above) and of course the vivid dreams.
Overall:
A much more drawn out, mild trip... not unpleasant, nor was it dissapointing... but maybe, just maybe, I was hoping for a bit more. I had read that the sublingual methods produced stronger effects, but I was unable to achieve that level due to the fact that holding the solution in your mouth is practically unbearable (think *really* cheap tequila made from spinach)... so there was very little absorption, if any.
Once again, this is my first post here, so be kind please.

I've always been interested in what salvia is like and you've done well to describe the effects in your report.
