Fresh Salvia leaves contain too much water, which is why they are not suitable for smoking. The best consumption technique for fresh leaves is sublingual consumption.
Sublingual
The fresh leaves are rolled into a "cigar". This cigar should be chewed slowly. The juice should not be swallowed, because Salvinorin A is not active through the alimentary system.
Effects
With this method it takes about 10 minutes until the effects begin. The peak is reached after 10-15 minutes, but afterwards the effects decrease slowly within 30-45 minutes.
