In one of terrence Mckennas lectures he says you can take 20 leaves, fold them as small and thick as you can and put them in your mouth and masticate them. He says that this releases the chemical inside the leaves.
However Terrance also said that smoking Chacruna gives you a DMT trip.... I have had no luck with this so far however.
No. It takes many times more salvia leaves to produce the effect that an extract would.
smoke it
nope nor the seeds
Yes It does, the higher the extract the higher it will get you
You could, but it would take much more material to produce the desired effects than if it was smoked. The active components of salvia are poorly absorbed in the stomach, and thus swallowing an extract, infusion, or any salvia preparation is very inefficient. For this reason, salvia users who do not wish to smoke typically take it as a quid (a bunch of leaves rolled into a cylinder) which is held in the mouth and chewed. It should be noted that the effects of orally ingested salvia last longer than the effects of saliva that is smoked, even though the effects are generally not as strong. I've heard of people extracting "Salvadorian A" from saliva and since salvia's dose is measured in micrograms it can fit on blotter paper. So they lay it on a sheet of blotting paper like acid. But its hits of the active chemical in salvia prepared for oral ingestion.
Depends on the vendor, between 20 and 30 dollars.
It is a plant extract from the common wild flower Salvia Divinorium.
I wouldn't even recommend the 10X extract. Beginners should start with the non-extract plain dried leaf Salvia Divinorum. I would recommend chewing the leaves for at least half an hour first. Smoke it later. Lastly, do not take any Salvia Divinorum at all if you're trying to get high or if you're immature. It is a sacred herb used for spiritual purposes. Use it with respect.
You don't need to intensify salvia, and if you did for some reason want to then just buy stronger salvia. I've had 10x extract and regular old 40x the 10x extract had me tripping hard. I became a car and was driving through some old scenic road out west. The regular 40x i had a bad trip. However, smoking salvia while you're drunk does intensify the journey.
Salvia divinorum is the only species in the genus Salvia which contains salvinorins, the active compounds that produce a hallucinogenic effect. The leaves of S. divinorum could be used to trip, although one would need to use a much larger quantity than for the extract. The extract is simply the isolated and concentrated salvinorins (along with other compounds). Because the extract is more potent, it is generally much easier to get an effect from the extract, although it is certainly possible with simply the leaves (for example, a large quantity of leaves chewed as a quid).
wrap it up in a napkin and leave it somewhere for a couple days, the moisture will extract leaving it dry.
Salvia extracts is a mix of dry smashed Salvia Divinorum leaves mixed with a concentrated amount of Salvinorin-A, depending on the amount of Salvinorin-A you put on a gram of smashed dry leaves, it's the strength you get (5X 10X etc.)
