Salvia questions

[iewed]

I recently purchased a gram of 10X salvia extract from my LHS, the salvia was of from a reputable company. After finding a secure location I proceeded to load up a small bowl of salvia in my special salvia water pipe (Bitch ass 7" acrylic bong), I fire up my torch lighter and began inhaling. I took a good sized hit and held until the count of 30 and I exhaled. Nothing. I load up another, slightly larger bowl and proceed to hit it. Nothing. I proceeded to pack a fat bowl and made sure that the salvia was reaching the appropriate temperature by gratuitously using my torch lighter. I felt a mild come up, but that was it. Between a friend (Who has never tried salvia) and myself (I've probably smoked ~2 grams in the past 18 months) we went through about half a gram of salvia with minimal effects, nothing like my previous salvia experiences (Other times I've smoked 10X but from a different, less reputable brand).

Now my question is, is there a reason for my bunk salvia? Was it possible the torch lighter was too torchy and torched the salvinorin A?

Also, since I still have about half a gram left, are there any other methods of administration that I should try? Like making a salvia tea or tincture?


Many thanks

Get stronger salvia. Try 50x and see where that takes you.

I'm looking to make due with what I have, which is about half a gram of 10X extract (So the equivalent of 5 grams of leaves?)

I'll probably just make a tincture and down it

sounds like illegit salvia I'm guessing. My first time was with 10x, a little pinch in a homeade bong with a normal lighter and I tripped pretty hard.

I doubt it's the torch lighter's fault. Try taking several hits, changing ur bong/lighter i guess? sounds to me like shitty salvia though, which is wierd.
