What Happens When You Smoke Salvia
By zachary skinner
Smoking salvia produces two different effects on people that include an out of body experience where you are totally lost, or a lighter feeling such as being high. Smoking salvia divinorum is just like smoking tobacco in a pipe, but the effect is much stronger than what you will feel from any other herb that you can smoke. Smoking salvia is gaining popularity by the week, and salvia stores are popping up everywhere. If you already smoke tobacco you will probably be comfortable with smoking Salvia. An average dose of salvia is around 1 or 2 grams, however, when smoking salvia the dose is only as much as you inhale.
Smoking provides a relatively short, but potentially very intense experience, whereas sublingual absorption provides a substantially longer lasting and somewhat more gentle experience. Smoking seems to be the most effective and enjoyable method of using Salvia divinorum, and is particularly suitable for first-time users. You should be aware that salvia suitable for smoking purposes is available in different strengths and forms, for the sake of your own health, always get standardized extract when possible. If you find salvia to be too strong of an experience, try smoking a combination of salvia, and damiana and/or passion flower.
Extracts allow one to explore deeper levels than are available using plain leaf. A good extraction will look very green--almost like the salvia leaves where dried up, and then crumpled. In my personal opinion a good starter extraction for salvia is the salvia extraction 10x (salvia comes in 5, 10, 16, 20 e. Also there are two different types of extracts. One of which is a "non-standardized extract" basically its extracted salvia infused with the leaf (which of course is not extracted) so non-standardized extract isn't as potent as "standardized extract"--which is a pure extract from the leaf, not infused with the leaf. The most potent of salvia extracts is something called a "Tincture" basically its salvia in the purest form possible.
The high consists of mild, to very heavy and psychedelic "trips". Many people will put too much salvia in their bowl (usually extracted salvia mind you) and will smoke it and have a bad trip. Salvia has similar effects on everyone, especially at lower levels, but once you get to higher levels there are different things that happen to people when they are tripping. You must respect salvia in order to have a good trip. Environment will basically insure a good or a bad trip.
Smoking salvia extract has helped depression as well as drug addiction and that has been proven on many occasions. Closing your eyes and staying relaxed is the best way to proceed after smoking salvia. One should keep in mind that walking after smoking Salvia divinorum is difficult at best, so cushions or a bed are recommended. In addition, the peak effects of smoking salvia typically last only between 5 and 30 minutes. But it's clear after watching a few YouTube videos of people smoking salvia that the effects can last far longer and be more intense.
