The best consumption technique for dried Salvia leaves is smoking.
Smoking
The dried leaves are best when used in a bong or glass pipe. The effects start 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.
For a faster release of the active components, a torch lighter is recommended. The dried leaves burn much faster, making it easier to smoke it in one hit.
Dosagem
When smoking dried leaves, normally 1-3 leaves are enough to obtain strong effects, although the dosage can vary from person to person.
Therefore it is recommended to start with a low dosage first.
