I contacted my two main dealers today.
One said they could pick up an eighth of mushrooms for $40. The other said they could pick up a gram of salvia for $30.
Now, I have traveled down curiosity lane with mushrooms, but never sally.
So I have a few questions to ask all you nice shroomerites.
Which one would you go with? Price wise, which is the better deal? Also, another thing I'm curious about how long 1 gram of salvia will last me. Not as in "like how much is in 1 gram?", rather as in "how long may that amount last?"
I don't think I broke any rules in this thread. I hope not.

the smokeshop where i live sells it for 30 a gram. and usually i find mushies for around 35 an eigth.
my personal opinion is that you should KNOW (and i mean KNOW) what you want, and why you want it. you shouldn't have to pull straws to decide which of these powerful tools to "use", got meh? 
a gram of salvia would last you plenty i reckon

$40 for an eighth of shrooms is a little on the high side, but I would go with the shrooms anyway, because when you trip on them, it will last at least four hours.
The salvia not nearly as long. Salvia is good to trip on during lunch breaks, when you need to be sober in time for that business meeting afterwards.

Shroom effects lasting longer does not make them a better choice. Just the opposite imo.
Actually salvia is much more efficient than shrooms in that respect. I would have to take a large amount of shrooms and be out of commission for a full day to get what I get out of 30 minutes and 1/10th of a gram of strong salvia extract.
A gram of high strength salvia extract can show you things you can't even imagine with a single eight of shrooms.
Still though I would buy the shrooms simply because they are so hard to come by where I live. My choice would be different in some areas and situations though. Shrooms can be more fun. Especially where the lower levels are concerned.
Experience also plays a big role. If I were new to tripping I would probably go for the long lasting substances to give me time to adjust and explore. I've already been there and done that enough though. I'm a bit more direct in my intentions these days.
Another thing to consider is the fact that salvia just simply doesn't affect some people significantly. About 10% of people I think was the last I read. If you turn out to be one of them you will be wasting your money. You know what to expect from the shrooms.
Then again you don't know what you are missing with the salvia.
I can understand wrestling with such a decision.

I don't know what I want because I've never used salvia, so I don't personally know what it's capable of.
With mushrooms, I have a better understanding. But the underlying curiosity of salvia is present.
Mushrooms are pretty easy to come by, even though the price is a little up there. For that reason (along with other desires for insight and new things) I think I'll go with sally. Plus the short duration is a plus, for this time around.
Thank you guys.

Well first of all $30 for a gram of salvia is a complete rip-off. You could buy both Salvia and the Mushrooms for about $50. Go to http://www.bouncingbearbotanicals.com/salvia-divinorum-standardized-extract-p-333.html The standardized extract is $9, it's only 5x but you can easily breakthrough with it if you're smart about it. Use a bong and at first use very little Salvia just so it's in your system. Wait 20 minutes..pack a fat ass bowl and keep the flame on the Sally the whole time while hitting it..a torch lighter works better but a bic is just fine man. This works because Salvinorin-A has reverse-tolerance properties to it, which rules. 1 Gram of this standardized 5x should be about 5-10 breakthrough trips depending on your genetics, lol. Make sure to buy the standardized so you know the exact amount of Salvinorin-A in the Sally. Salvia's some crazy shit man, be careful. You should smoke the Salvia while peaking on the psilocybin that'd be nutty. Peace

if your doing salvia dont do less than 10x man its pointless imo shrooms and salvia are very diff. you might enjoy salvia, but probly not as much as shrooms. its used diff since shrooms is a night of fun and salvia (although feeling like hours sometimes) ends way too soon
its not like shrooms where your having a blast the whole time. you take it, the world dissolves into anarchy then you fade out of it and are left thinking OMG WTF?!?! ive asked every friend ive seen try it if they like it. and every single one responded "I dont know". most never did it again, but everyone said they were glad they tried it once.
so be careful and dont plan a full night of doing salvia, you might hit it once and be good for a few months. oh and go to the bathroom before you take that killer hit. youll thank me someday
and salvia is legal, so wheres the contest? get shrooms, and just order some salvia on the net when you have some spare cash.
P.S. its not how big of a hit you take, its how long you hold it! if you take a huge hit, then cough it out, you wont get shit man. hold it atleast 60 secs ^_^

Obviously we don't live in Washington. Yeah $40.00 is high. $25.00 to $35.00 is normal here. Plenty of people here will pay $40.00 though and I can't find any right now to even pay $40.00 for. You have to realize that things are not the same all over as where you are. At least there is plenty of $25.00 a quarter weed here. This isn't news though. Mushroom and weed prices have been covered exhaustively in too many threads already.
