Has anyone tried eating Salvia?

As above. I know that the mazatecs eat the leaf fresh (and apparently eat lots of it), which gives them a much longer trip.
I was wondering whether eating the dried leaves would have a similar effect, and if so, how much you would need to eat.
I've just bought an ounce of leaf, and was planning on trying blending it all up as a drink and drinking it all quickly.

Does anyone here have any experience of that?

 

the salvia oral experience is not much longer it is only one hour long.
you need to consume 30 to 50 times as much as you would smoke.
as it tastes so bitter and is messy when dry, i do not reccommend it.

I have used some tea when sick but it is extremely wasteful and only mildly amusing.

people who like this route are basically getting the afterglow more than the psychedellic experience. the afterglow is subtle - but it is antidepressent and makes older people feel younger for up to 3 days. the afterglow is what salvia feels like during the days after smoking too.

if you hate smoking, smoke less of a higher standardized extract (15 or 20) you will end up inhaling less particulates and carcinogens than standing in traffic for 10 minutes.

smoking is much less wastefull.

stories about authenticity about mazatec rites are just stories.
investigators asked and were told.

there is no way to verify the truth of these stories told to imposing strangers.

 

I have nothing against smoking - indeed i've tried smoking various extracts of salvia.
But the problem is, i've never managed to get very far with smoking. Even having had three bongs in a row of 40x extract (probably about 1/4 of a gram in total) i never felt more than a light-hearted feeling and closed-eye patterns.
I was thinking that an ounce of leaf, if ingested in one go, could at least put me on a level where having a bong of strong extract would tip me over.

 

you could easily have too much though

 

Eating it is not good, if you wish to go with the oral method you must chew. You roll the leaves up in tight quids (just basicaly tight rolls of leaves) and let them dry like that. When dry you chew on them for awhile (I'd assume around 20 minutes) because the stomach acids in your stomach will break down a bit and the "absorption units" in your mouth are much more sensitive and will collect quite a bit more than your stomach.

This is less of a trip and more of a stimulant and mind alteration method when being compared to smoking.

 

That's what i'm hoping. No matter how much i smoke and how strong the extract, i don't seem to be able to get a strong effect.
And it's not like you can physically OD on Salvinorin.

I tried the quid method. It didn't work.

 

Some people, I believe, just seem to have a strong tolerance to it. I have a friend who can't trip out, no matter how much or what kind he smokes.

 

Doh!

I share his pain. It's quite annoying.

Well, this weekend, i shall make and drink a smoothie out of an ounce of mexican salvia. When/if that hits and i am still not tripping properly, i'll load up a bong with a large hit of 40x and hold it until i am about to turn blue.

If that doesn't work then i fear that it is just not meant to be!

 

When you tried the quids did you make sure you have the right kind of Salvia? I believe some don't exactly work.

 

yeah that happened to me, but i tripped with 40x, so i guess my tolerence isnt that high. *shrug.

 

quiding should preferably be done with fresh plant material, iv used dry material to achieve mild effects involving mood. no visuals. the quality of the material was 4-5mcg of salvinorin A. compared to average salvia leaves ranging from 2-3mcg per. so the quiding method isnt reconmended if you are looking for quick visuals.

&eating salvia extract would be a waste, supposedly (written on the salvia faq page) despite the higher salvinorin A. content you would still need to eat a large amount wasting $$$ for the same effect so the standard leafs are a better choice.


and theotherpath, im very curious where you purchased your extract and what form is it in? powder? leaf? quality varies dramatically from dealer to dealer up to 50% in my experiences that is.

 

What's the best (most potent) dealer with say.. 20x?

 

no - smoking will take you higher than eating it. period. it just a complete difrent method and a complete cifrent effect. you'll never have a breakthrough point when eating.

you could lay some extract 10x under your tongue - someone with experience o it adviced it to me - but i never tried it. so ...

 

i have totally changed my opinion on this subject after reading this:

http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=25506

 

www.iamshaman.com - best salvia divinorum "purchasing(edit)" source. period.

 

I disagree. Sagewisdom.org is the best (assuming you're talking about source as in information).

 

Back to my experiment:

Well, i managed to get an ounce of dry salvia down me. It wasn't very nice; made me gag a few times, but it was fine once i had drunk it all. No nausea.

It had a very faint, euphoric effect, but nothing really to get excited about.

I declare my experiment a failure!

I did have a bong of the horse killer 40x afterwards, but i had a problem which i seem to get often:

I have a bong, and hold it down. I feel intensely mellow, and have to lie down. I feel more empathic towards music, feel contented and don't feel like i can move. That's about it. I feel kind of "defeated" by the bong, and can't be bothered to have another one, even though i'm not tripping properly.
This is frustrating, as i really do want to open Salvia's deepest doors. Every time i say "I must be strong minded, and force myself to have another bong", but when it comes to it i feel wiped out and a bit giggly, and not in the mood for a bong at all.

 

Don't mix it with weed, on many occasions I've found that weed dulls the visual effects VERY MUCH.

 

Who said anything about weed?

 

I did.
