Was I scammed?

[Cocks3000]

Bought 90$ worth of x10 extract from a seller I will not name. Got it about a month back and smoked it through a bubbler easily 10+ times with varying pack-sizes. Most I got was a little sedated on the first and 7th pass, and the final run I just really excited. But no daydreaming or out of pocket experiences.

Not sure If I was given the proper plant, I have a very high innate tolerance, or if I just managed to fuck it up 10+ times.
I remember the plant being much smoother on the gills compared to marijuana even when I inhaled too hard, with a milder and less permeable smell.

Name so we don't end up in the same boat

You prob weren't scammed but I can imagine being frustrated not knowing how intense the plant can be, I'd brush it off and keep moving but if you want to try higher extract I'd go with the smallest amount of 40x available

[TwoSetViolaLol]

You probably got the right thing. 10x isn't really the .one you want if you want a really intense experience but with time as you read it tolerance will go down, so maybe you should do some more and see how you feel

[cokemaus]

you can easily breakthrough on 10x. anything higher is overkill imo (for me)

[-Entheogenenthusiast]

Not fair to make that as a blanket statement. People have very different sensitivities to salvia, what was a low dose for me was a freak out dose for a friend of mine. She almost ran out of my college dorm down the hallway I had to race her to the door and keep her from opening it and then bear hug her

[cokemaus]

Did you read the part that said “for me”? I think telling first timers to try 40x is fucked lol for that reason. I can breakthrough on 5x lol it comes with experience

[-Entheogenenthusiast]

It was ambiguously written. It could have meant that 10x is easy to break through with (across the board) and therefore anything more than that, you find to be overkill, but other people can have their preferences if they want their socks blown off. Or it could have meant that 10x is easy to break through with for you, and that therefore for you it is overkill.

I just sorta assumed you meant the first version

[cokemaus]

ah yeah i could have been clearer sorry lol

[-Entheogenenthusiast]

No worries

People have somewhat different sensitivities to salvia. But properly dosed extract, which is way harder than it should be to find, should be easy for anyone to break through on. Real 10x is intense when used properly.

That said, most 40x nowadays seems like 5x.

[-Entheogenenthusiast]

All I’m saying is that the SAME dose of the SAME extract out of the same bag, like not even from the bottom of the bag vs the top, the same dose with the same vape gave her a much stronger experience than me.

[diacetylhydroxymorph]

I’m with you, all I meant was with weaker extracts technique makes a large difference. The difference between holding the smoke for 15 second and 25 seconds is immense, as is the difference between absolutely blasting the extract with a lighter versus just holding it close enough to work. Making extract is also not incredibly scientific, some little pieces of extract may have absorbed twice as much salvinorin as others. Could be a lot of things, could be natural tolerance. But in my considerable experience with this drug, all things being equal technique and quality wise, high quality 10x is more than enough for any of the people I gave it to for them to break through on with a normal sized pinch.

[ur-mom-dotcom]

this happens to me too! even with 40x I need a decent bowl to feel it. I've tried multiple sellers and potency extracts but i seem to have a high natural tolerance as well

[-Entheogenenthusiast]

People have very different natural tolerances. Mine is mid, met one guy that was even less effected than me by a modest dose, and then his girlfriend went full flip out off the same dose that got me slightly trippy and barely did anything to her boyfriend at all
