Salvia Sensitivity?

I recently recieved 2 ounces of salvia. I mainly got it to make extract but I gave a fair amount out to friends to try. Now this is just the leaf, not an extract, but when I smoke it, I can feel noticable effects from 1 - 2 hits. But yet all the friends i have given it to so far say they have gotten nothing off of it at all besides one saying a "light pot high". What does this mean? I know the effects i get are NOT placebo or anything of the like. Am i just sensitive to Salvinorin? I am baffled.. not to mention i feel like an idiot for ranting about salvia to all my friends, then having them try it and get nothing off of it at all. Strange.

It might be sensitivity, it might be just believing it works somehow makes it work better. If you are skeptical you might fight minor effects or ignore them as placebo.
I've used 2-3 gram quids of plain leaf and I've gone places.

I'm not positive on this, but I would assume this is because most psychadellic work on a broad range of receptors, whereas salvia mainly effects the Kappa receptor. Maybe some people's kappa receptors aren't as responisve to salvinorin as others. LSD effects such a broad range of receptors that you would still feel something from drug regardless of whether a few receptors aren't being that responsive to it. I've seen people take several hits of 40x extract and have nothing happen to them.

Well its just strange. I'm not saying I get full blown breakthrough experiences from this, I havn't even come close to that point yet. But I DEFINETLY get some minor effects from it.

it may be true that some people have fewer or less developed Kappa Opiate receptors.
also the way to smoke it involves rapid deep intake and holding. this is not required form for cigarettes or even MJ. some people may be expecting effects without working at it.
salvinorin is a waxy solid so you have to smoke the shit out of it to get it into your lungs.
home free from that point on.
