Salvia Divinorum & Nightshade. Options

I've heard of people smoking Salvia Divinorum for astral projecting..Since I just ordered my ounce of salvia and it wont be here for a while I'd like to here any experiences anyone has had with Salvia. I've heard that Nightshade can also be used for the same purpose. Anyone experimented with these herbs? I'll have my own experience as reference soon, but I'm like my homeboy Jesus..I like to listen lol. Any other experiences with any other herb is welcomed as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).

Oo...Since I just spent a pretty penny on trident books grand grimoire, I'm not big on the idea of shooting for a pipe. I ordered some rolling papers with my order of the salvia leaves. Do you reccomend maybe putting some calming music in the background, or it being completely silent? Should I have a drink handy since it's a harsh smoke? Any comfortable sitting or lying preffered? lol, I'm trying to make it as calming as possible. I don't want to have a bad experience, then someone walk in, and I throw a knife at 'em lol.. I should be receiving my SD next week, and I'll post my experience, but in the meantime, mind sharing a pleasent SD experience? Pass down some wisdom to the 18 yr old? aha.

I haven't tryed any Salvia yet but I do plan on getting some soon and will post my experience. I have been told that, Yes, you sould have some water with you because the smoke can be harsh. And you probably want to concentrate more on your trip then having to go get somthing to drink since the trip can be very short compared to other substances like LSD or Psilosybin.(sp?)

Most people recomend trying the lowest extract you can get (5-10x) as the 25x (or whatever it is) can be too potent to be enjoyable. The leaves aren't very effective since you have to smoke alot to get the intended shaman type visual/mental effects but I have heard of the fresh leaves being chewed with excellent results.

Ya' see...I was going to get the 5x, or 10x extract...But all the sites I went to seemed to be against it if you're a beginner, so I just bought the leaves. That, and I saw this video of a young lady flipping out on just leaves her first time trying salvia, so I figured the dried leaves would be a good place to start off with, and sooner, or later I'll decide if I'd have to move up a notch.
