Could it imply that it’s an energising taste, or only like it tastes what you put in a gin?
Thanks everyone.
That’s what I was afraid of.
That name makes me think it’s going to taste like quinine (the key ingredient in tonic water).
How about SuperSonic Tonic?
The difference is in concentration of the active compound Salvinorin A.
1gram 5X extract is equivalent to 5 grams of raw leaf
1grams 80X extract is equivalent to 80 grams of raw leaf
The way extract is made, the Salvinorin A from 5 grams of leaf is extracted and deposited on 1 gram of fresh leaf, and so you get 1gram of 5X, in other words, one gram of leaf, with the Salvinorin A concentration of 5 grams.
This makes it easier to use, because you don’t have to puff your way through 5grams of leaf, you just do that one gram.
The problem is that a lot of these companies aren’t actually giving you an 80X extract. Anything above 40-60X is basically impossible to tell the difference – you just black out – so they can call it 200X for marketing purposes, but you’re not going to know the difference.
Also, don’t fall into the "bigger is better" trap. Just cause there IS a 40X doesn’t mean you will enjoy it more than a 10X. It depends on your personal situation and level of experience. Don’t be a hero, or an idiot.
Here’s what BlackHatBotanicals.com says…

"I’ve never tried Salvia. What would you recommend?
From customer feedback, 10x or 20x extract is considered the best place to start for newbies. Return customers may prefer to order stronger extract and use less product. Higher strength extracts are not only more cost effective, but also allow customers to enjoy the full potential of the product with ease. However, we strongly urge our customers to practice common sense, have a sitter present, etc."
Insurance covers it like a regular prescription, but somehow it’s not a prescription?
Any prescription medicine MUST be FDA approved, the FDA is skirting this issue as more and more states legalize marijuana on the medicinal level, why?
Mutt, what about the federal law that says all prescriptions must be FDA approved, one federal law has precedence over another?
I guess it’s like a riddle, how many states have to legalize it medicinally before the FDA is forced to back it?
Because medical marijuana is not covered under Federal Law. In fact all of the FDA studies on the stuff have concluded that safer and more effective alternatives exist to treat the medical "conditions" that the marijuana supporters claim to treat.
Of course nobody wants the stuff that has been demonstrated to be ’safe and effective’ to current scientific standards because it will not get you high.
Ginger processing machine is the machine which can dry the fresh ginger, grind it, packing it.
Ask Gilligan.
That is what the grocer guy told me.
no. I just bought both and they are different. Your grocer was wrong.
i have tryed to make ice tea but it never tastes good.
i have made tea normally, then put it in the fridge until its cool but it doesn’t taste nice
and i have also tryed making tea with cold water but that doesn’t work either
how can you make it taste good?
At my house we make iced tea ALL the time. We use a tea pot and boil the water. After it boils we put 1/4 cup of sugar (add more depending on how u like) in with a gallon tea bag and let the tea bag soak for about 10-20mins. Then add water until it fills the top of the pitcher. Then just pour it over ice. You can refrigerate if you want but I usually leave it out.

I just took two tablets of melatonin an hour ago and it hasn’t done a damn thing for me. I don’t want to take sleeping pills because they make me extremely groggy in the morning.
Different people will offer you different answers about valerian vs. melatonin. No one is right; they are just personal opinions. I once wrote a long list of natural sleep aids and have pasted it below. Perhaps the list will give you some ideas. It is so long it may put you to sleep.
There are herbs that are helpful for sleep, eg, valerian root, kava kava, chamomile, hops, passion flower, skullcap. If you get the real herbs, you can make teas out of them. Otherwise get the herbs in capsule form. Probably, valerian root and kava kava are the best.
You can also try trytophan, 5-HTP and melatonin (1-2 mg). I would not take melatonin for over a month unless a doctor says it is ok. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland. If you take too much, your pineal gland might get "lazy" and produce less melatonin naturally. Life Extension and TwinLabs are probably the best brands, in that order.
A warm bath is a great way to relax in order to sleep. If you can’t take a bath, you can give yourself a foot massage with slightly warm massage oil, sesame oil, or castor oil from a health food store.
What was very helpful to me, especially when my mind was racing, was to lie in bed and listen to relaxation CDs, especially those that contain someone speaking with relaxing music in the background. Many of these CDs are available on eBay for very low prices.
A helpful technique is to relax your body one part at a time. So you could relax your feet, your lower legs, upper legs, moving up from your lower belly up to your chest, etc., etc.
Of course, guided relaxation methods can help, imagining yourself in the country, the beach, or whatever is most soothing to you.
If you have annoying thoughts or personal issues that run thru your mind when you are trying to sleep, you might have to deal with those issues first. You might want to talk to a counselor or therapist about that.
