Please read and take the time to process this information before you buy, grow or smoke Salvia Divinorum |
The Diviner's Sage is sold and used in several forms or "presentations", such as common Salvia leaves, tinctures, and 5x, 15x, 20x + extracts, which contain considerably higher amounts of Salvinorin-A concentrated in the leaves than just the unaltered leaves.The tricky part is that there isn't a real, accurate standard of what a 10x extract is, for example. So you may be getting 2 completely different things if getting any kind of Salvia Divinorum from different online vendors, and even the product of the same vendor can vary from time to time, depending on the quality and care given in the extraction process, and by "vary" I mean huge variations. Salvia D., more exactly Salvinorin-A is a powerful substance, it is not an exaggeration when people say that they really had an "out-of-body experience (OBE)", if the dose is strong enough you will leave your body and perceive a different reality, and, as everyone else that has been there, I don't believe it is a mere hallucination. You'll experience a profound shift in your perception, you'll see and come to realize many things that you had no idea existed or could be felt and experienced within one's life; all of this, let me repeat, given the dose is potent enough. If a lower dose is used, effects could be much more physical: the non-controlled laughter, a feeling of energy rushing through the body, a sensation of being pulled up or sideways, etc. So, getting a 5x extract from an online vendor could take you to alien places while a 20x extract from another could just give you a nice feeling of warmth all around you. It is important then to know what could happen and who are you buying your Salvia from, as well as the potency of their specific extracts. Please take serious consideration to this; if you feel anxious about your experience, you may want to start with small doses starting with plain Salvia Divinorum leaves, and increasing the potency of the extract or the amount of salvia as you get somehow familiar with this entheogen, although there's nothing wrong with starting with a potent 20x, as long as you are willing to completely let go, of your body, your ego, your self perception, in a way that you have never been done before.
