So for those of us not located in the above countries, let’s take advantage of the wonders of Salvia Divinorum A while we still can! It should be noted that, if the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) (USA) decides to schedule Salvia in its list of “controlled substances”, it will take a minimum of 30 days after they give public notice of their intentions (in the Federal Register) before the change of legal status takes effect.

Salvia is most often smoked, but can also be used sub-lingually and orally producing effects that last longer but have a slower onset. The main psychoactive ingredient of Salvia Divinorum is salvinorin-A, which can be extracted from the leaves of the Salvia plant to form various strengths of extracts (5X, 6X, 10X, etc) for smoking. Salvinorin-A is also sold in various types of liquids; in this case, the liquid is held under the tongue for 15-30 minutes, slowly entering the bloodstream through absorbtion in the mouth. Be careful when using pure extract and liquids, as they are much more potent than a normal salvia leaf and hold larger amounts of salvinorin-A. The charts below show dosages for Smoked Salvia Leaf as well as smoked extract. Full exeriences can be found for many people with a single or small number of hits of either leaf or extracts.

Many people find it difficult to achieve full effects by smoking dried salvia leaves. Those who are successful generally require multiple large hits off a pipe or bong. Typical smoked doses with plain leaf are between 0.2 to 0.5 gram, about one large, dried leaf. For sublingual consumption, a typical dosage range is 10-50 grams of fresh (wet) leaf, approximately equal to 6 to 30 leaves, or 2-10 grams of dried leaf, usually reconstituted before consumption.

Salvia extracts generally come in 5x, 6x and 10x concentrations. Dramatically less material is required the more concentrated the extract is (10x is more concentrated than 5x). A single hit of extract may be more than enough at any of these concentrations.
