Sometimes, if the situation calls for it, not speaking can come with how to quid salvia positive results as well, depending on the tripping person’s mindset. The user chews the leaf thoroughly for a period of time, grinding out the Salvinorin A and allowing it to absorb through their tongue & mouth’s membranes before they swallow the leaves. The second Mazatec method is still less potent per leaf volume than a quid, talked about more later.
In traditional Mazatec ritual, shamans use only fresh Salvia divinorum leaves. Modern methods have been developed to more effectively absorb the active principle, salvinorin A. If enough salvinorin A is absorbed, an altered state of consciousness can occur. The duration of experience varies with the method of ingestion and the amount of salvinorin A absorbed. If all environmental dangers are taken care of, other factors of safety then come into play.

TL;DR quidding salvia is the best way to take salvia in my opinion. The chewing process is not super comfortable, but I recommend starting with 3 grams of dried plain leaf. Guides for dry leaf, fresh leaf, and tinctures included above as well as guides for tripping alone and how to be a tripsitter. If you can make it to 10 minutes of chewing without spitting or swallowing, that’s great. I understand it’s uncomfortable, but it’s worth it to push past that in my opinion.

Effect of kappa-opioid receptor agonists U69593, U50488H, spiradoline and salvinorin A on cocaine-induced drug-seeking in rats. Salvia divinorum is a powerful psychedelic, and as such, there is a risk of an intense or traumatic experience. To minimize these risks, become familiar with the 6Ss of psychedelic use. The psychoactive compound Salvinorin A was isolated in 1982, but it was another twenty years before researchers identified its precise mechanism of action.
THE MAZATEC METHOD
Salvia leaves are also bitter and tough, making them difficult to get down your throat and swallow. The two Mazatec methods have their perks, but overall, they are definitely not the choice of most regular Salvia users. Tripsitters need to be extra alert when dealing with a person at level six, especially because the person can easily hurt or injure themselves without having a clue they did it or feeling any pain.
This method prolongs the effects of the Salvia past what most recreational users are looking for in the experience. Ego loss, or loss of awareness of self, is nearing, causing people to experience “merging” and become “one” with other objects or people in their world. If a user reaches this level, on purpose or by accident, without a tripsitter, they will be in for some deep trouble. A complete lack of awareness combined with blind stumbling can result in countless injuries. Any interaction with people on the outside world is entirely out the window.

In New Zealand, it is illegal to import or sell Salvia without a license. Getting started with psychedelics and finding consistent legal access is a challenge. That’s why we built an online community of trusted providers ranging from therapists, to clinics, to retreats.
