@Davino Have you tried it sublingual? they say it is much more tolerable that way.

No, but I'm planning to do so in the future. Eating leaves is probably just uncomfortable unless done with a shaman.

Probably I'll buy Sage Goddess Emerald Essence, if you search you will find it. A US company is pioneering all the salvia production since 1989 and they made this new product, here is the description:

Quote

SAGE GODDESS EMERALD ESSENCE is an extraordinary potion of enchantment. One of the finest Salvia divinorum preparations ever created, it engenders profound experiences that enrich and nurture mind and spirit. As a tool for exploring the psyche it can provide access to fresh, often startling, insights into the nature of consciousness, reality, perception, and the fundamental mysteries of existence.

A Sage Wisdom Botanicals exclusive. This ultra-concentrated tincture of Salvia divinorum has been carefully prepared using a unique new separation process developed by Daniel Siebert. This innovative process selectively extracts and concentrates a group of natural leaf components that enhance the solubility and absorption of the active principal, salvinorin A. All intermediary extraction solvents have been completely removed so that the finished product contains nothing but premium grade Salvia divinorum, grain alcohol and water.

This specially prepared extract is designed for sublingual absorption. The duration and quality of the experience is equivalent to that obtained using traditional Mazatec methods of oral ingestion, but it is far easier to consume and the level of effects achieved is more consistent and reliable. Many people consider this type of experience more productive and rewarding than that of smoked Salvia divinorum because the effects are gentler and considerably longer lasting.

The first effects begin 4–8 minutes after the initial dose is ingested. The strength of the effects gradually increase over the next 4–5 minutes, reaching a plateau that lasts 20–30 minutes, then gradually tapering off over another 1½–2½ hours. By using multiple doses, the duration of both the plateau and the entire experience can be increased. If the effects begin to diminish sooner than you would like, you can use booster doses to extend the experience.

Mild doses reduce extraneous mental activity and calm the mind; many people find that low doses are quite valuable as an aid to meditation and introspection. Mild doses also increase sensual awareness and can have aphrodisiac effects. A moderate dose produces a gentle expansion of consciousness that is useful for inner-journeying and self-exploration; this can also have an extraordinary memory enhancing effect that can provide access to incredibly detailed memories stretching back into early childhood (clearly this has therapeutic potential). Strong doses alter the fabric of consciousness profoundly, producing rich inner-visions and inspiring insight. Very strong doses can totally immerse one in a visionary world and can propel consciousness into the far reaches of transdimensional/transpersonal space.

Probably the way to go with Salvia is this kind of high quality sublingual extracts. That allow oneself to enter more comfortably into the salvia experience. Probably Salvia just does not induce good experiences when smoked, because of the intensity and quick come up.

I'm curious to know, has anyone tried  Sage Goddess Emerald Essence or the chewed ROA of Salvia?

I chewed leaves. You have to chew a lot and spit then out and repeat until you've done a few grams. It's quite disgusting. the trip is super smooth though. Things start to warp you are in a more psychedelic state unlike when you smoke it. I didn't go deeper due to the bad taste of the dried leaves. I heard that you can biy extracted fluid and use it sublingual which should work far better.

I just smoked the pure leaves and got a good trip for a few minutes and didn't expect much. I honestly just wanted to relax and get the cannabis like high of a low dose as experienced before a few times but this time was different. I smoked just a little puff and not the whole bowl and got an slightly dmt like trip where objects started to change shape and everything seemed like having a presence and everything got a slight greenish taint and I got a lot more conscious and I remembered that I could have breakthrough. It was like an invitation that I politely declined. It surprised me a bit because I cleaned the bong and didn't expect that from the pure leaves especially that only happened before when I mixed it with dmt. So that was quite interesting and reminded me of not taking it too lightly and respect it then it will respect you back because it somehow has a life of its own. 

These breakthroughs are different than on extract. Imo extracts give you the maximum experience with mostly non spiritual value whereas this roa gives you more insights because you don't forget everything and won't get catapulted into another dimension. If you close your eyes you can expect fractals and landscapes though.
