Stay away from balconies with Salvia for sure, I've known people who have almost killed themselves by trying to jump off of a balcony on salvia.
I was standing both times I smoked it, the first time I was standing in the snow with two other guys smoking it out of a bowl, the other time I was doing it with a grav mixed with buds, which in hindsight was a horrible idea. Next time I do it, I'll be sitting in my backyard, smoking it out of a bowl with nothing else. I'm also going to make sure I heat it well enough as well, because I feel like that's the way to get as much of the Salvinorin A as possible.
I want to have a real breakthrough, and a good one. As I've said before, despite my disappointing experiences with it previously, I'm still willing to give it one more chance. And if it works out well, then I might try to combine it with LSD, since I've never heard of anyone doing that (maybe it's a horrible idea) and I feel a bit adventurous. It's probably a disastrous move, and I may not even do it.
