Nope, my friend disproved this by using a regular lighter.
You can use a regular lighter, but it doesn't work nearly as well. I smoked a good bit of the stuff back in the day, and it can be quite interesting. The first time I smoked it was back when it was relatively obscure, and was picked from a friend's plant. I later went back and tried 10X and 20X. I didn't even know there was anything stronger.
The bottom line is, Salvinorin A (The chemical responsible for the effects) vaporizes at a much higher temperature than say, THC. If you do use a "regular" lighter, you should keep the flame on the Salvia the ENTIRE time you are hitting it. Just getting it until it keeps itself lighted or throwing it into a blunt or joint is largely going to be a waste.
The effects are unpleasant to some, but if you put yourself into a good, almost meditative state as you should before trying any serious entheogen, you may find that you are in for a pleasant ride.
Enjoy,
