Salvia Divinorum Information
How to use Salvia Divinorum
There are many different methods of use for Salvia. Several methods of taking
Salvia will be discussed here.
Smoking Salvia Divinorum Warning
When smoked (in the ways described below), the effects of Salvia are
overpowering and overwelming. Always test your sensisivity and start with
a LOW dose.
Normal Salvia Leaves: 1/2 - 1 gram
High grade Salvia Divinorum Leaves: 1/4 - 1/2 gram
Salvia Extract 5x: 0.1 - 0.3 gram
Smoking Salvia Summary information
The most common method is to smoke Salvia in a pipe, without tobacco.
The smoke is inhaled fast and deeply. Hold the smoke deeply in the lungs
for 20-30 seconds before exhaling, then salvinorin A and B can be absorbed
from the smoke. If one exhales too quickly, much of the material will
be wasted. The level of the effects you achieve depends on the amount
of smoke inhaled and absorbed within about a 2 minute period. If you pause
too long between hits, the duration will be extended, but the intensity
of effects won't increase. When Salvia leaves are chewed and held in ones
mouth a long time, salvinorin is absorbed directly by the tissues lining
the mouth. The way you feel and think before the experience is essential
for the character of the experience. So, if you don't feel comfortable
and well, postpone the use of Real Salvia. We strongly advise you to take
the trip in a peaceful and relaxed environment. Lie down for the duration
of the trip. Privacy and safety are very important. Take Real Salvia in
the presence of a 'sitter', because the effect can be very overwhelming.
Real Salvia is not suited for parties. This is something to take time
for. Make sure there are no troubles on your mind. De Sjamaan wishes you
an excellent flight.
General effects & course of the experience
When smoked, the first effects are noticed within 1 minute, rapidly developing
to a peak which lasts 5-15 minutes. Depending on dosage, the effects can
vary from a subtle to a full-blown psychedelic experience. At higher dose
users report dramatic time distortion, vivid imagery, encounters with
beings, travel to other places, planets or times, experiencing to be an
object or experiencing the full life of another individual. Then the effects
will gradually diminishing over the next 20 - 40 minutes, one will notice
a marihuana-like high. From beginning to end, the entire experience lasts
30-60 minutes. When Salvia leaves are used orally, the first effects begin
in 10 -20 minutes. The effects, milder than when smoked, build to a peak
fairly quickly, reaching a plateau which can last from 30-90 minutes.
The entire experience can last anywhere from 1-3 hours.
Using salvia divinorum: traditional mazatec methods
The two traditional Mazatec methods are quite inefficient in that they
require many more leaves than do the other methods. But they are very
safe. Traditionally the leaves are taken in a semi-darkened room as part
of a healing or religious ceremony. At least one sober person is present
to watch over the people who have taken Salvia. A water-based drink made
from ground up fresh leaves is one of the traditional Mazatec ways of
using this herb. It requires a lot of leaves and tastes unpleasant, so
this method is seldom used by non-Mazatecs. Salvinorin is very poorly
absorbed from the stomach so it requires enormous amounts of leaves to
make the drink effective. But it does work, and trips from the drink last
longer than from any other method. Chewing and swallowing a large number
of fresh leaves is the other Mazatec method. When this is done, the leaves
are nibbled slowly for about 1/2 hour. Although the chewed up leaves are
swallowed, most of the effect is due to salvinorin that is absorbed through
the tissues of the mouth during the chewing. This is a less efficient
way of chewing Salvia than the quid method (see below). Most people find
chewing fresh leaves to be unpleasantly bitter, and for some, it is nauseating.
USING SALVIA DIVINORUM information: MODERN METHODS
Using Salvia Divinorum: smoking
Dried leaves can be smoked in a pipe. They need to be smoked hot and
the smoke must be inhaled deeply and quickly to have an effect. Because
salvinorin requires high temperatures to vaporize, it is best to hold
a flame immediately above the leaves, drawing it down into the leaves
the whole time you inhale. The leaves can be smoked in a short stemmed
tobacco pipe, in a bong, or in a "steamroller" pipe. Fill up
a medium size bowl with leaves. Use a hand held butane lighter that will
go out when you are no longer pressing it, not a match. Have a large ashtray
or tip proof bowl to set the pipe in when you feel you've had enough.
Remember that, when tripping, you may forget you are holding a lit pipe.
You could drop it, causing a a burn or a fire; therefore, it is best to
have a sitter present when smoking. First effects will be noticed within
a minute of inhaling. After 5-6 minutes the effects will gradually begin
to subside. The total duration of the trip may be less than 30 minutes
or as long as an hour. Extract-enhanced leaves can also be smoked. Extract-enhanced
leaves can be very strong and should only be smoked when a sitter is present.
It is possible to vaporize leaves or extract in a special vaporizer that
heats up material without burning it. Vaporization can be deceiving. Because
very little smoke is produced, it is possible to inhale a very large dose
without realizing it. Anyone trying vaporization absolutely MUST have
a sitter present. Many commercial vaporizers made for Cannabis will not
work for Salvia. Special Salvia vaporizers can be built easily, but vaporization
is not for those new to Salvia. Vaporization of pure Salvinorin is also
possible. This is extremely dangerous, as it's very easy to vaporize too
large a dose. To be done safely, vaporization of salvinorin requires weighing
the dose on a very precise chemical balance capable of weighing salvinorin
in micrograms (millionths of a gram). These analytical balances cost well
over $1000. Vaporizing salvinorin is definitely not for beginners!
Using salvia divinorum: tips on smoking
Many people find it difficult to achieve a satisfactory level of effects
from the leaf in its natural state. People vary in their sensitivity to
salvinorin-A. Some people are highly sensitive and have no difficulty
achieving a profound level of effects; others are extremely insensitive
and require a dose 2 - 3 times higher than average.
TIPS!
Use a water-cooled smoking device (a water pipe, or bong). This makes
it much easier to inhale large quantities of smoke. Because the smoke
is cooled, it can be inhaled more comfortably without coughing.
Try to inhale the full dose in three lungfulls. Each one should be inhaled
slowly and deeply, then held for 20 - 30 seconds before exhaling. It is
very important to retain each inhalation of smoke deeply in the lungs
long enough for it to be absorbed efficiently. Do not pause between lung
fulls (except for a short breath of fresh air if necessary). This insures
that the whole dose will be consumed within the 2 - 3 minute period required.
If the dose is smoked too slowly, it will be metabolized faster than it
is ingested.
Using salvia divinorum: the quid method
A ball or cylinder of rolled up leaves is made. This is called a quid.
It is to be chewed. The leaves are chewed slowly, about one chew every
10 seconds. They are kept under your tongue between chews. For half an
hour keep the quid that is being chewed, and the juice that forms, in
your mouth. If you can, hold it in your mouth without spitting or swallowing.
Then, after the half hour chewing time is over, spit it all out. Have
a bowl to spit into, and a towel handy. Salvia juice stains carpets and
other fabrics, so be sure the bowl won't tip over. While quids can be
made from either fresh leaves or dried leaves, those made from dry leaves
are less bitter. To make a quid from dried leaves, weigh out 2-8 grams
of dried leaves. Gram scales accurate enough for this can be purchased
for under $50. If you have no scale, count out 8 to 26 large whole dried
leaves. Place the leaves in a small bowl of cool water for 10 minutes.
Once the leaves are wet and have been soaking for about 10 minutes, remove
the leaves from the water, squeeze the excess water out of them, and ball
them up into a quid. Some people skip this soaking step when they are
in a hurry, but chewing on brittle dry leaves may be unpleasant. If you
wish, you can sweeten the quid with sugar, honey, Stevia extract or an
artificial sweetener like Equal®. This will make it less bitter and
more pleasant to chew. If fresh leaves are used instead of dry ones, you
will need from 8 to 28 large fresh leaves. The effect of Salvia quids
can be increased by first treating your mouth in a special way to increase
its ability to absorb salvinorin. To do this you will need a toothbrush
and an alcohol/menthol containing mouthwash such as Cool Mint Listerine®,
(or any other brand that contains alcohol and menthol). Gently brush the
lining of your mouth, including the tissue under your tongue, and the
top surface of your tongue. This removes layers of dead cells normally
present. Do not brush hard enough to cause bleeding. Then rinse with the
mouthwash for at least 30 seconds. Be sure to get mouthwash everywhere
in your mouth, including under your tongue. Then spit out the mouthwash
and rinse once with water. You will experience very little in the first
12 to 15 minutes of chewing. Don't be misled by this. Full effects are
usually felt by 30 minutes (the time you spit out the quid). They remain
on this level for about 20 minutes more, then start to decrease. The whole
trip seldom lasts much longer than an hour and a quarter, but this varies.
Using salvia divinorum: which method is best?
There are pros and cons to each method. Some people report that a quid
gives a stronger, deeper, more visionary trip than smoking. Others report
that chewing doesn't work for them at all, but smoking does. For those
who get little effect from either method, the two methods can be combined.
First chew a quid, and then, after spitting it out, light up. If you already
smoke tobacco or Cannabis you will probably be comfortable with smoking
Salvia. If you are a non-smoker you will probably prefer the quid method.
Bear in mind that smoking anything, even Salvia, can't be good for your
lungs. Unlike smoke, a quid does not irritate your lungs. It requires
quite a bit more dried leaf for a quid trip than for a smoke trip. If
you have very little leaf material available, smoking is the way to get
a trip out of the little you have. Quid trips come on slowly but last
longer. They are better for exploring Salvia's world. They are better
for deep meditation. Until you know how sensitive to Salvia you are, do
not experiment with extracts, vaporizers, or salvinorin. Chewing quid,
or smoking leaves, will take many people all the way to level 5. There
is no need for these people to experiment with stronger and more dangerous
ways of taking Salvia. There are some people-albeit a minority-who, even
after many experiments, find they remain "Salvia-hardheads."
They never experience more than a slight Salvia effect from smoking, or
from a quid. Some of these hardheads will get satisfactory results if
they chew a quid, and then immediately smoke after spitting out the quid.
Others will find even this ineffective. For them, extract-enhanced leaves
are necessary to produce effects. See how sensitive you are before experimenting
with stronger forms of Salvia. With a little practice, quid chewing, or
smoking, or combining the two ("boosting"), works quite well
for most people. Many people find it takes several meetings with Salvia
before a "breakthrough" experience occurs. So don't label yourself
a "Salvia-hardhead" too soon.
