I just got an email saying my salvia will be on it's way soon. I've read the User's Guide and many other posts and I can hardly wait. This site has been full of good info but I am wondering, I ordered 10X will that be OK to start with? I also have some plants on their way. They will be going into a Top Soil/OrcidMix/Perilite/Vermiculite mix after a couple days. I will use natural light aided by florescents.  Suggestions are welcome.

i started at 5 but it didnt do it for me. so i normally do 10x, and everytime my trips get more and more intense. im not so sure 10 is great to start at because all of the effects might be too overwhelming. but if you think you can handle it.... just be sure to have a very responsible sitter with you. post s trip report if you lie. its a very very amazing thing, one of my true loves, and i only do it about every 4 months, the more you do it the less you want to do it again, not in a bad way though. welcome to the site.

I started with 10X, not knowing at all what to expect...and it turned out ok. However, that may have been why I dont remember being scared at all. 10X should be fine though, just know that it will probably be intense. Just start off with a very little pinch, all you really need is 1/20th of a gram, which is very little. If you need to you can put some kind of smokable herb  in the bowl under the 10X so it doesn't fall through.

I started with home made almost 70x i highly reccomend starting with a lower dose. 10 is probably ok its what does it for most people

Honestly I would recommend starting with regular dried leaf. I think Salvia is something that is good to get accustomed to gradually.

First time I ever tried Salvia was yesterday. I took 1 gram of 10X and divided into sixteen even parts, about 1 small bowl each. Got myself into a good mood, a setter on hand, no sounds around. I fired it up. One good hit.  Held her in as long as possible THEN    I watched as my sitter disappeared into a haze of colors. I closed my eyes and watched as an array of colors started to consume me, they flowed on and on taking up everything. Then almost as sudden as they appeared they disappeared. I opened my eyes and my sitter was still there.  I asked how long I was gone. Response 5 or 6 min. I am looking forward to the next time. Thank you Salvia Source. I read the user guide and other posts which helped me understand somewhat  what to expect. This site has been quite informative in many ways.

I'd start with 5x then adjust accordingly. Half a bowl.

Experience No2 last night. Two hits from a bowl of 10 X. This time I used some music, no words just soothing music. My sitter says I was gone for about 8 min. Another color in motion journey, this time even more intense than the first. I seemed to be flying through time and colors. Very peaceful. When I opened my eyes my forehead was pouring sweat although I didn’t seem to be hot. Next time I am going to try just leaf and see what happens. I do rather enjoy the 10X though.
