Salvia Divinorum Tincture

Hi, I created A salvia Divinorum tincture this morning, and was wondering how much of it I should take?

The tek is as follows. Since I had no plain leaf, I used the closest thing I had, some 5X salvia extract(all the rest of the stuff I have is 20X). I took a gram and put it into a dish, washed it 4 times with acetone(heard this was good to use as it absorbs alot of Salvinorin A) let the acetone sit 12 hours overnight and when it was all evaporated(no smell of it left) I scraped up the greenish extract and put into into the highest drinkable alcohol I can acquire which is 60% vodka. I added about 15 ml's (half ounce). It's starting to turn green but all the extract is not dissolved into the alcohol yet.

So I was wondering two things: Should I add more alcohol to get more of it dissolve, and what dose should I take for a tincture first timer ( I have smoke enhanced salvia leaf on many occasions)? What percentage of salvinorin A would be in my mixture? I don't want to take the whole thing and have a bad experience, I only want mild therapeutic effects. Salvia Divinorum is known to help fight depression.

Anyone with any tincture experience? Any help would be appreciated

I've never thought of making a tincture.

Really I think smoking salvia is the best route. Once you've tripped on it you know what it's like to be absolutely insane. Personally I like to limit the insanity to a 10-15 min trip.

Also the only therapeutic effects I notice is some euphoria and energy at the end of the trip. Like I'm ready to go out and see the world with a fresh mind.

I've never heard of Salvia as being therapeutic or fighting depression. If reality and the physical laws of nature functioning properly are the cause of depression, then I guess it could help. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to knock your idea, but I don't really understand it. Then again, I've witnessed severe depression, but never experienced it, so I wouldn't really know.

Good luck trying to only get mild effects from it, that seems difficult to me. I hope you have luck with your tincture.

It actually does, from my experiences.

It gives you a fresh look on things, it feels like your brain has been reset. Like imbalances have been balanced. And everything is clear.

Yeah, you're right about the fresh look on things. I never thought of it like that. When I got back from my best trip, for the next several days, it was stuck in my head. Kind of felt like an astronaut who just returned to earth with no way of describing what I saw or experienced. It does sort of let you learn about things you can't get any other way. It definitely pushes the shadows of mediocrity back to their corners.

Salvia does definately fight depression. I was looking for stuff more along the lines of chemical percentages, dosage strengths.. The liquid has turned a fluorescent-ish green, so I know something has been extracted into the alcohol. I will take it as a gram in the amount of alcohol I have. so it may give me 2-4 doses(minus salvinorin lost by extracting)?
I'm just gonna filter out the little black extract left and bottle it. I am starting school next week, so I definately don't really want to trip now; maybe when i'm settled in school in a month or so, I may take a dose one weekend if i'm not busy.

I'd like to know if anyone has tried a liquid salvia tincture and what results did they get? Not much information on tinctures is available relating to dosages.

Plus, smoking Salvia is way too quick-hitting. Before you know it, your already in a very intense trip, and have lost your bearings before you could even get them ready. At least with a tincture there's a mild come-up and you can meditate and focus while you feel it coming on. Salvia extract is also more intense than a tincture(from what I know so far). Smoking salvia will make you see the fissure in the multi-dimensional realm whilst spinning at 40 degrees rotations through a vortex of infinite possibilities. Kinda intense if you ask me lol. From the few tincture reports i've read, most trips are milder and more of a journey, not as much chaos. You may visit childhood memories or talk with "the divine".

I've smoked salvia a dozen times or more and gave up after my last bad trip. When you feel a conveyor belt wrenching out your insides going on to infinity is kinda hard to handle lol. I've also had shadowy figures in unkown realms try to discombobulate me, but a single sounding of my name brought me back to what I knew.
I'm also currently training in yamajutsu-kai meditation, to keep my mind strong. To control the flow of milder trips.

Learn how to let go, there is not need to get ready, there is a need to accept where it brings you... psychedelics manifest thoughts, emotions, memories, etc. from the unconscious mind to the conscious; one could think of psychedelics as a bridge between our consciousness... if you are depressed, let the psychedelic do its job and show you the basis of your depression. When you know the cause you have the cure, don't look to treat the symptoms.

I guess it would be kinda like practicing mindfullness, in which you are aware of sensations, but don't act upon them. You let them fill you, view them, then let them pass. Only to have new sensations fill you once again.
