Usually, dried Salvia divinorum is smoked, but the extracts like 10x, 20x, 30x and so on, contain enough active components to be active through the oral mucosa.
Smoking
The dried extracts are best when used in a bong or glass pipe. The effects set in immediately after the smoke is inhaled and they last for 60-90 seconds. Therefore, the amount you want to consume should be taken in one hit. This is why a joint or similar is not recommended. To obtain the best results, a torch lighter can be used. It generates much higher heat releasing the active components much faster. This makes it easier to take it all in in one hit.
Sublingual
Take the desired amount of salvia extract and chew it slowly. The emerging juice and the extract should be kept under the tongue or spread evenly in the mouth. The effects set in after 5 minutes. The peak is reached after about 10 minutes and starts to decrease slowly within 30-45 minutes.
