Quick Question About Salvia Divinorum Extract

[Mojoman]

I recently acquired some 10x Salvia Extract and am interested in experimenting, but I was hoping to ingest it orally, as I've heard that this provides a milder, longer lasting experience. Is it impossible to take the extract this way? I've heard that smoking it can be a lot more intense and brief and I guess I'm just hoping to ease into the experience a bit more.

Any tips you might have would be appreciated.

Also, if smoking is the only option, is a simple bic lighter good enough to get it going? Thanks.

Taking the extract orally can in theory be done by extracting the active substance with alchool, but in practice it's better to buy an already made "tincture" which is specifically designed for oral ingestion.

Yes smoking is more intense (and shorter in duration) but you can always smoke less of the material you have. Start with a low dose and increase until you find what dosage fits your sensitivity.

Smoking with a simple bic lighter is ok. Bong or waterpipe is suggested too, expecially if you are not an experienced smoker and are not used to hot dirty smoke.

SIGH.... If you have had done even a miniscule amount of research on Salvia, you would find that it is not active when ingested orally... Now, that does not mean you can't get effects from sublingual absorption (think tinctures), but that is not the same as just chomping down a mouthful of S.D. and swallowing..... There are countless reports wher peeps tried eating as much as several mg of Sal A, and got no effect.... C'mon people, do a bit of research before even considering ingestion of any substance eh---

Actually, I have read a considerable amount about Salvia experiences online and I am not in the habit of taking strange new drugs without knowing what I'm getting into. Several of the sites I've seen have talked about the "quid" method, where you chew on a ball of fresh leaves for a half an hour and the active ingredient absorbs through your saliva. Supposedly, this leads to a longer, milder experience than smoking, but I guess this only works with the fresh leaves, not the extract.

I did actually try smoking it the other night. It kicked in pretty fast and hard, but it was over before I knew it, which is why I'm still curious about oral ingestion. Compared to what I've read about other experiences, I'm guessing I had a relatively mild reaction. I will continue to experiment with caution.

in theory it would work with an extract, but its hard going to chew on say .5mg of dry, almost powdery leaf matter. SWIM has heard of people sticking a dose of extract into a big wad of chewing gum and chewing on that for a while, but has never heard a diffinitive trip report on it.

Swims pet, Funny Bunny, wonders if any other rabbits have tried the chewing gum route with tincture. That crazy rabbit burned the underside of her tongue badly with her first, and so far only, experience with Sally tincture. Sadly, she had to spit it out before it could be absorbed. Funny Bunny also wants to know if other bunny's experience with alcohol consumption in the days prior to doing the bunny hop with Sally have affected the outcome of the dance. Is it harder to break through? Funny Bunny has this pretty purple bottle of Sally Tincture and despite much research on DF, does not have the knowledge of how to approach Sally (tincture) and ask her to dance without getting badly slapped across the mouth. Funny Bunny could buy some rolling papers, paint the tincture on rolling papers, dry, and smoke them in her bubble pipe... Or would diluting the tincture 3 drops of water to one and holding it it her mouth for 15 minutes work at all?
