One average sized bowl of 20x extract is a solid amount for a good breakthrough without going too far. 20x extract is 20x more potent than plain leaf, thus to achieve the effects of one bowl of 20x with plain leaf, one must smoke 20 bowls. There are numerous reasons why not many people want to smoke 20 bowls when they can just smoke one, won't insult you by going into them.
No idea why the salvia plant didn't evolve to produce sufficient amounts of Salvinorin A to induce a decent trip in humans from one bowls worth of plant matter, but the fact is it didn't, thus we humans extract the desired product from the useless plant matter so we can have more fun with it. We don't need to take more, we just make what we have more potent.
Passing comment or not, you have to be careful with comments like that. LSD has far more potential to screw up a mind than salvia, has a much more significant jump in mental perceptions and lasts a hell of a lot longer. Most experienced psychedelic users would probably agree that in comparison to LSD, salvia is pretty tame (albeit intense) in terms of mental load. Especially in doses higher than ~200-300ug (2 average tabs)
And yeh, i've yet to meet anyone who actually enjoys salvia over basically every other widely used psychedelic/dissociative out there.

What an idiot.
Like it or not, young girls look up to her. That's the price you pay for getting paid millions. You have to be responsible.
Celebrities don't owe it to anybody to be a role model. That's the parent's/caretaker's job. It amazes me that some people are still dumb enough to look to someone as an example just because he or she is famous.
Oh, I'm not saying she owes it to anyone.
I won't even say its fair.
Fact is,
there will be someone somewhere smoking a bong because of this...possibly.
The point is, even if she doesn't want to, he has to acknowledge that young people are going to imitate her behaviour. If she slips, or sends a bad message, it could do some damage.
You can't deny these celebrities are influential, for better or worse. Does that not entail some responsibility?
So? Better that than they're sat at McD's getting obese, or at a pub getting pished. But for some odd reason those activities are more socially acceptable, so no one would mind.
