Salvia divinorum is a shrub that is found growing in the Mountains of Sierra Mazateca in Oaxaca Mexico. They are used by the Mazatec Shaman in divination process, healing process and in certain religious ceremonies. The traditional methods of ingestion used by the Mazatec Shamans include quid chewing and smoking. Here, I will discuss about the different ways to consume salvia divinorum along with their pros and cons.

Method 1: The “old school” method
PROS: Of course safe, it does not damage lungs and long lasting effects
CONS: You will need a lot of leaves to reach stronger effects and the taste is awfully bitter.

In this method, fresh salvia divinorum leaves are used. You just take a significant amount of leaves to be ingested and chewed. You will need about 15 fresh leaves rolled and chewed. Chew them for about 30 minutes or until you can withstand the bitter taste, which might cause slight nausea for those who has weak stomach. You’ll need to chew it as long as possibleto absorb as much salvinorin-A from the leaves. After about 30 minutes, you can spit the leaves out, but it is much recommended ...
... that you swallow it despite of its disgusting taste to achieve 100% effects. Effects will begin to be felt after you spit it out or swallowed it and will last longer until about 3 hours compared to other methods.

Method 2: Smoking Dried Salvia Leaves

PROS: Easy and quick, and does not have any bitterness

CONS: May damage lungs, short term duration, some may experience uneasiness while smoking because the smoke tends to be too hot.

This is the quickest way to consume salvia divinorum leafs, but it may not be suitable for all because as we know, some don’t smoke. In this method, you only need a bong or a water pipe. Then, take some crushed dried leaves and place it inside the bong (but water pipe is much better). It is also a good habit to place some ice cubes under the bong so that it can hold the smoke longer, therefore, allowing lesser smoke to escape and more smoke to inhale. The only unpleasant thing about this is that the effects won’t last longer than 10 minutes.

Method 3: Purchasing Extracts and Capsules

PROS: Easy, quick and the fastest way to consume salvia.

CONS: Maybe too costly for some, and it might be complicated for newbies because of the 10X, 20X, etc. labels. Quality relies on the manufacturer.

This is the easiest and quickest way to consume salvia divinorum as you won’t need anything to ingest salvia capsules. You will just need a glass of water and take in. Boom! Hallucination. The only thing that’s bad about it is sometimes, it is not true salvia that you get or the potency and effect does not meet on what you paid for.
