Salvia Divinorum Leaf and extract contents
Each gram of plain dried leaves from Salvia Light contains approximately 3.6 mgs., or 4/1000 of a gram, of “Salvinorin A”. This is way above the average amount of 2.4 mgs. Each batch of leaves are checked for potentcy before exporting. All leaves found to be lower than 3.6 mgs. per gram of leaf are not exported.
DOSAGE for PLAIN LEAVES
Smoked Salvia Dosage Effects (Avg. potency plain leaf)
To attain Level 1 smoke 1/4 g
To attain Level 3 smoke 1/2 g
To attain Level 5 smoke 3/4 g
Dosage 5X, 10X & 15X EXTRACTS
Smoked Salvia Dosage Effects ( 5X Extract )
To attain Level 1 smoke 1/20 -1/10 gram
To attain Level 3 smoke 1/15 - 1/10 gram
To attain Level 5 smoke 1/10 - 1/4 gram
10X When using 10x Extract; USE 1/2OF THIS AMOUNT TO ATTAIN THE SAME LEVEL AS WHEN USING 5X.
15X When using 15x Extract; USE 1/3 OF THIS AMOUNT TO ATTAIN THE SAME LEVEL AS WHEN USING 5X.
DURATION
When smoking Salvia, the initial effects of Salvinorin-A will peak within two minutes.
Peaking will continue for 5 to 10minutes.
It will taper off for another 5 to 10 minutes.
Total experience is approximately 20 to 45 minutes.(individual results may vary based on sensitivity).
The experience can be prolonged by smoking more Salvia as soon as composure is regained.
People do not develop a tolerance to Salvia and there are no risidual side effects, positive or negative.
A person's weight and height will have no bearing on the effects at all
The more smoked the stronger the result.
The idea is to start off with a low dose and work your way up to the desired effect.
S-A-L-V-I-A
Experience Rating Scale
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 more pronounced. 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 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 hypnagogic 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 one may no longer be aware of having a body. Consciousness remains and some thought 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 fusions with other objects--real or imagined (e.g. experiences such as merging with a wall or piece of furniture). 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 these deep 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 had experienced. 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 recall what they experience in this very deep trance state. This is not a desirable level, because nothing can latter be recalled of the experience.
