Salvia dosages?

[psygnisfive]

Erowid says that a light 5x salvia dose starts at 1/20 g. Can this be correct? I've seen 20x salvia sold by the ounce. That would mean a single light dose would start at 1/500 oz which is miniscule if you have a 1 oz volume. That's gotta be like a small piece of a single leaf!

Surely this isn't correct is it?

Wow, an ounce of 20x! Really? That would definitely last you ages.
One of the bad things about being in Australia... I can only access a gram of 5x when I feel I can afford it.

I'm not sure about exact weights, but for me 1 small bong-cone of 5x = 1 big lungful = medium dose. Same of 10x was a full breakthrough dose. I'd love to try 20x and be able to have just a half-lungful be that effective!

Maybe I was mistaken about the quantity of 20x that you can get. But I'm looking at iamshaman.com and they're selling a gram of 20x for $32 dollars, and that must be like 80 light doses... I mean, if 1/20 g 5x is a light dose, then 1/80 g 20x must be equivalent.. so 1 g of 20x is 80 light doses. That just seems to me like a very small amount of plant to consume. I want to make sure that I'm consuming the right quantity tho, because if it IS really that little, I don't want to think "Oh well this can't be right, let me do a bunch more" and then end up shattering my mind into little pieces.

If it's your first time with salvia, I would recommend starting with 5x or 10x. I started with 10x, had a big cone (we actually weighed out 0.1g on digital scales) and that took me to another dimension. I actually I think that was the best way - like Terence says, take more than you want to, so that your ego can't fight it. But if it was 20x I have no idea what might have happened...

If you are experimenting for the first time and want to go slowly, just have a small amount at first. You will know within 30 seconds whether it's working and to what extent.

But it's not a "natural" plant - it's processed to be 20 times strength!
