So I have been reviewing previous posts and stories and none of them answer my question really, which I will get to...

So, I just got a gram of 10x salvia divinorum. It came in a little brown vial and looks like crappy weed, so I am assuming its leaves.

This will be my first time trying Salvia and my question is, what's the best way to do it? Should I load some in my glass "tobacco" pipe and smoke it? Is a BIC lighter a sufficient heat source? How much should I load and how many hits should I expect to come of it? I'm a pretty avid pot smoker, although I am currently out, so I have a good pipe...

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

seriously? No one?

Go fuck yourself. You just asked several questions all of which have been answered literally HUNDREDS of times before here in BLTC. Learn to fucking well read, or get the fuck out of here.

That said, in the hopes that it might help prevent more of these stupid fucking questions being asked even more in the future...

1) Best way is a bong. Anything with a chamber. Make a pop bottle bong (if you're capable ) as a pipe will work, but not as well. You might not achieve full effects with a pipe.

2) A bic lighter will work, but a torch lighter is better.

3) Load as much as you can take in one or two hits. You'll only need to take one or two hits, holding the first hit for 30 seconds and then taking another if you're still able to.



Also:

Level -1 "S stands for SUBTLE effects." A feeling that 'something' is happening, although it is difficulty to say just what. Relaxation and increased sensual appreciation may be noted. This mild level is useful for meditation and may facilitate sexual pleasure.

Level - 2 "A stands for ALTERED perception." Colors and textures are paid attention to. Appreciation of music may be enhanced. Space may appear of greater or lesser depth than is usual. But visions do not occur at this level. Thinking becomes less logical, and more playful; short term memory difficulties are may be noted.

Level - 3 "L" stands for LIGHT visionary state." Closed eye visuals (clear imagery with eyes closed: fractal patterns, vine like and geometric patterns, visions of objects and designs). The imagery is often two dimensional. If open eyed visual effects occur these are usually vague and fleeting. At this level phenomena similar to the hypnologic phenomena that some people experience at sleep onset occur. At this level visions are experienced as 'eye candy' but are not confused with reality.

Level - 4 "V stands for VIVID visionary state." Complex three dimensional realistic appearing scenes occur. Sometimes voices may be heard. With eyes open contact with consensual reality will not be entirely lost, but when you close your eyes you may forget about consensus reality and enter completely into a dreamlike scene.
Shamanistic journeying to other lands, foreign or imaginary; encounters with beings, entities, spirits; or travels to other ages may occur. You may even live the life of another person. At this level you have entered the shaman's world. Or if you prefer you are in ''dream time'. With eyes closed you experience fantasies (dream like happenings, with a story line to them). So long as your eyes are closed you may believe they are really occurring. This differs from the 'eye candy' closed eye imagery, of level 3.

Level - 5 "I" stands for IMMATERIAL existence." At this level consciousness remains and some though
processes are still lucid, but one becomes completely involved in inner experience and looses all contact with consensual reality. Individuality may be lost; one experiences merging with God/dess, mind, universal consciousness, or bizarre fusion's with other objects real or imagined, e.g. merging with a wall may be experienced. At this level it is impossible to function in consensual reality, but unfortunately some people do not remain still but move around in this befuddled state. For this reason a sitter is essential to ensure the safety of someone voyaging to the inner levels. To the person experiencing this, the phenomenon may be terrifying or exceedingly pleasant; but to an outside observer the individual may appear confused or disoriented.

Level 6 - "A stands for AMNESIC effects " At this stage either consciousness is lost; or at least one is unable to later recall what one is experiencing. The individual may fall, or remain immobile or thrash around; somnambulistic behavior may occur; injuries can be sustained without pain being felt; on awakening the individual will have no recollection of what he/she did, experienced or said in level 6. People cannot ever recall what they experience in this very deep trance state. This is not a sought after level as later nothing can be recalled of the experience.



You can regulate your dose if you want. Check erowid for recommend dose, I don't know weights.
