Regarding the extraction techs which can be viewed at the bottom of the page:
I am not a chemist or a professional in botany but have worked many hundreds of hours to find and hone simple methods for extracting and refining salvinorin without the need for special equipment and have placed everything I have learned over the years here. These methods were worked out in a place and time where and when legal to do so. Please observe all local laws.
Disclaimer, use this information at your own risk, I will not be responsible for either the proper or improper use of the information provided. Also, these documents were written to share what I have learned and may not be completely accurate and or safe to attempt and this applies to either extracting the leaf using the methods I have outlined or for using Salvia divinorum or Salvinorin-A as a psychotropic substance. What I am providing here is only a documentation of my own experience and views on the subject and use of Salvia divinorum and its active principal salvinorin, however flawed. See further disclaimers in the documents. Salvia divinorum should only be used by adults who are of sound mind and clear intent... along with some common sense!
The following text is cut and paste from several papers I have written regarding Salvia divinorum, some portions repeat the same information over again but each also contains more info too so I'm going to place them all here anyway for whatever they may be worth to you. Some may disagree with my observations and or views which is fine, I'm just offering my own experiences and thoughts on the matter using plain unsophisticated language without taking attitudes one way or another, just giving my honest assessment of Salvia divinorum and its effects. I fairly well sit on the fence in regard to what is really happening with Salvia because I don’t know if the experiences are any more spiritual or perhaps otherworldly than what we already have in us but I know one thing for certain and that is what we understand and master can go very deep in any direction we choose to seek. This is certain, whether seeking knowledge in pure physics alone to understand the properties of matter for what we can ingeniously fashion from physical materials or as a explorer of the mind seeking that kind of understanding to the depths consciousness can go. Either direction can be wonderfully fulfilling to master, this I know for certain as many individuals have proved this out time and time again throughout history. It's very apparent that as human beings we are capable of great things but I wonder if the use of entheogens is the dawning of new possibilities for us, is the use of Salvia a molecular key to open a doorway to deeper realities beyond the capabilities of normal human cognition? Regardless of such ideas Salvia divinorum certainly is a catalyst for rapid cognitive growth or change as many of the vision producing plants can be, I also know this for certain but even if the use of Salvia for its awesome psychotropic mind-flowering and unusual experiential depths to consciousness is purely a human experience which goes no deeper than looping through the gray matter in our noggins’ alone and isn't what I hope it can also be, a way to crack the door open to something greater than our individual human minds alone, I still firmly believe the use of Salvia divinorum can be extremely valuable and is a wonderful tool for introspective searches to understand one’s self.
The common effects of imbibing small to large amounts, my own observations:
The potency of salvinorin-A from the Salvia divinorum leaf can be different from person to person requiring more or less of an amount to reach a similar point of divine and perhaps, sometimes, not so divine inebriation if used irresponsibly without sincere intent. For most individuals the strength of the effects from mild to extremely strong are experienced between .25 mg (quarter milligram) and 1.5 milligrams infused into leaf and smoked. When used as a tincture up to 10 milligrams when using the staggered method of dosing (explained further, below) which takes far more salvinorin for similar effects compared to the amount when smoked. Most experienced salvia explorers who dare to smoke white knuckle amounts of enhanced leaf never want to smoke more than 2 milligrams of salvinorin infused leaf as this amount is their upper limit before the experience is too intense to endure and beyond that the possibility of passing out, some individuals requiring far less to reach that point. A few words of caution for those of you who want to attempt to smoke crystalline salvinorin, this can be hazardous due to several reasons which you can read about on Daniel Siebert's web site at http://www.sagewisdom.org/caution.html - If you are not going to heed my advice not to do so and desire to try smoking high purity salvinorin be aware that .25 mg of near pure salvinorin (one quarter sized portion of one milligram) is far stronger in that form compared to smoking the same amount of salvinorin diluted or infused into a larger amount of dried leaf. I see no benefit to smoking powdered (or crystalline) salvinorin because high purity salvinorin will NOT produce effects any different than smoking enough 5X enhanced leaf, it just takes less or a smaller amount of salvinorin for the same effects when smoked in near pure form which is very risky, please see Daniel Siebert's web site to know why.
OK, to get to what I began to write before I started explaining why no one needs to risk smoking high purity salvinorin; here are my own observations, my own experiences. The following amounts or sizes are dose relative to my own personal sensitivity to Salvia divinorum or salvinorin-A, your own sensitivity might be far greater or less. Also, I’m going to mention the following for those individuals who cannot seem to have a breakthrough or vision with Salvia the first few times they have tried: I had to smoke small amounts of 5X enhanced leaf a dozen times before I began to be able to have visions and the latter half of the doses or amounts of enhanced leaf I had slowly worked up to before having my first vision are now more than enough to cause visions. Until I became sensitive enough to Salvia, or perhaps tuned into what was happening, I could not have an internal visual break-through when smoking doses which were more than enough for me to have visions once I had the first breakthrough. In the following you will read where I keep stating only sometimes will certain kinds of visions occur at certain dose levels of salvinorin infused into leaf or they may or may not even happen at all. I make this statement because that's the reality I experienced, sometimes I would see what I had hoped for but many times I didn't experience the depth of what I wanted to see, especially in the beginning. For some individuals it takes time, many attempts before a first vision will occur and many tries before the more profound kinds of visions (or what is profound to you) might happen. To have a variety of different types of visions you might find it requires 100 or more attempts to have a handful of exceptionally remarkable ones, that is how it was for me but of course you might be different. Some individuals will have a full blown awesome experience the first try so don’t assume that can’t happen to you or that you might need a period of sensitization as I did, you might be able to have an impressive experience the first time.
The following is a generalization of my own experiences with Salvia as specific dose ranges:
1. Threshold amounts. For myself, approximately .20 mg or less than a quarter of one milligram of Salvinorin infused into 5X to 10X leaf somehow increases creativity, deepens my ability for philosophical thinking and is an excellent aid to meditation for spiritual pursuits with an anti-depressant effect for some individuals who suffer from such.
2. Small amounts of .25 to .35 milligram (~1/3 of a mg) infused into 5X to 10X leaf. When my eyes are closed I feel as if time has dramatically slowed down to the point where three seconds seem to last thirty and my thoughts almost seem to loop back upon themselves sometimes accompanied by extremely fleeting and barely perceptible closed eye visuals. With eyes open and looking at back-lit images such as photographs on a computer monitor or video on a television screen they appear to be three dimensional when I know they aren't. When looking into a mirror the effect is the same except the image looks like I am standing on the outside looking back instead of only a reflection. Small amounts of salvinorin usually heightens libido for a few minutes and if taken at the amount just b e l o w the dose which can cause closed eye visuals can produce an incredible boost to orgasm which is several times more intense than normal (close the windows and make sure the kids are out).
3. A moderate amount of a half or .50 to .75 milligram which is three quarters of one milligram infused into 5X to 10X leaf can sometimes cause me to have full blown closed eye visuals of colorful forms and geometric structures to the point where the visuals are so strong, that even though I knew better, I found it difficult to believe that they were really internal visions and had to check to see if my eyes were really closed. Sometimes these inner visions appear to be flowing films, a kaleidoscope of cascading pastel colored tiles, caves or caverns which might have a plastic or rubbery texture to them, molecular structures, spheres, trees, multicolored arches, space filled with spheres back dropped by undulating gasses and a million other possibilities which are often different from journey to journey. One time I saw a black Gecko lizard with a colorful 3D morphing fractal pattern on its back which I am sure was from recent thoughts about a pet Gecko my kids had at the time. For some individuals small to moderate amounts will allow them to remember dreams they have long forgotten from many years before and help increase writing creativity and intensify dreams the next time they sleep.
4. A large amount of 1 milligram to 1.25 mg of salvinorin infused into 5X to 10X leaf can sometimes cause me to see extraordinary intricate and colorful forms much the same as with more moderate amounts but sometimes a large amount can take me into a full closed eye dreamland where the forms and structures give way to persons and or places completely new or from my past as if I were experiencing them over again. Once, when using a large amount of tincture I found myself in a kind of lucid dream where I was a child who had fallen onto a dusty road and was being helped up by my father who wiped the earth out of my eyes to reveal another world where I was being held in his arms. I quickly returned to this one after just a few minutes.
5. Too much! When smoking from 1.5 to 2 milligrams of salvinorin infused into 10X leaf the beautiful intricate and colorful closed eye visions and or any other kind of worthwhile vision usually does not occur, I see something with my eyes closed so I am definitely having a vision but it is often only a twisted blurry light. I can tolerate up to 1.5 mg of salvinorin in a quantity of 10X leaf and sometimes a pleasant journey can come from that amount but when I have attempted to smoke close to 2 mg of salvinorin infused into 10X leaf I usually experience a strong feeling of pin prickling all over my body which feel like they go through to the bone and are somewhat painful. Accompanied with this unpleasantness I usually have a very strong sensation that the world is twisting in on me and nothing at all positive from the experience. I have read an account from someone on the internet stating far too much can cause you to pass out and later be unable to remember much at all. I've also read for some individuals, if they get too much salvinorin and pass out, a small percentage of them will roll around on the floor with the potential of harming themselves if they do not have a sitter to take care of them. I am repeating myself again but this is important; for more information on the possible negative effects from attempting to smoke too much salvinorin or for that matter too much enhanced or “X” factor leaf please see Daniel Siebert's warnings at this link: http://www.sagewisdom.org/caution.html
I believe the above 1 through 5 dose range from threshold through extreme amounts of Salvinorin-A or enhanced leaf is a fair representation of what can be experienced from Salvia divinorum, on average, but your own experience may be quite different. Some individuals will not have any effect from Salvia divinorum, even at moderate to large amounts and need a period of sensitization over several attempts before they experience anything at all, if ever, others will get immediate full blown effects with what is normally very little for most individuals.
For me, from moderate to large amounts of Salvia/salvinorin the closed eye visuals usually last from 5 to 7 minutes with the sometimes strong effect upon fine motor control and coordination when walking usually wearing off after 20 minutes. For myself a moderate state of general physical inebriation usually lasts an additional 10 minutes with a very light state of alcohol-like intoxication lasting an additional 30 minutes or more. In my experience the intoxication is only like alcohol in that it reduces fine motor control and coordination the same way drinking alcoholic beverages can but unlike alcohol does not usually cause the strong depression of higher cognitive abilities. Because of this many individuals may often feel as sharp as ever and very well may be such while at the same time their body might not have fully caught up causing a slightly slower reaction time which is why in my opinion you should never drive or operate machinery for at least three hours after use. Be sure to find your own margin of safety for how long you should wait before driving, perhaps for you the light but lingering after effects to motor control might be longer or even far shorter, perhaps not even existent after 30 minutes. This is certainly something each person needs determine on their own but I recommend you to be very conservative in that judgment. My three hour wait period is longer than most recommend but I tend to be fairly conservative in my views regarding the safe use of Salvia.
What Salvia divinorum is not, advice and warnings:
Not a substance to use without first fully studying its possible effects and then only with serious intent. If you are looking for a thrill please seek elsewhere because few people genuinely desire to experience Salvia more than once. Salvia divinorum with its active principal salvinorin-A is far too powerful for anything but serious uses and is not something to refine into the pure form for use as a drug (or even anywhere near pure). The average amount of salvinorin-A naturally found in the raw leaf is approximately 2.5 milligrams per dried gram of leaf. That's 2.5 thousandths of a gram of the active principal per gram of dried raw leaf, on average. Due to the extremely small amount of this material required for psychotropic effect, as small as one quarter of a milligram or less for individuals who are extremely sensitive to salvinorin, 2.5 mg of this substance would be far more salvinorin-A than most individuals would want or should ever try to endure and yes, it takes dedication, nerve and strong will to use this entheogen. For me, I found its effects to be far too strong to casually use and that Salvia wasn't something fun to smoke yet for me the experiences were more than worth the price. Salvia is not something to use in public places or prior to going to one, as with any psychotropic substance which can have strong side effects to either consciousness or your body, you should never use them while out or prior to going to a public place, doing so is a sure way to invite trouble for yourself and others. Mostly, my advice is that Salvia divinorum should never be used as a toy, if at all. Salvia is not right for most individuals but some find its use to be very rewarding to their understanding of self. My own thought on the youngest age someone should try Salvia divinorum is no less than thirty years old because too many young people do not have the maturity and life experience to be able to have enough introspection from its use for Salvia to be nearly as valuable to them. While this is not the case for all individuals, I do tend to believe this is the reality for far too many and with the number of younger individuals acting out in ridiculous and alarming video's which are posted on the net I think it would be far better for the entheogenic community if younger individuals did not have easy access to Salvia so that there would be less people playing around with this substance in such insincere ways. That is not to say there is not a good number of extraordinary young people under that age who can and would gain much and have the sensitivity and sophistication to handle Salvia, just that too many individuals under the age of thirty do not and would be better to stay away from Salvia divinorum until they have reached enough mature clarity of mind and sincere intent. Above all my advice is not to share Salvia with either adolescents or anyone who has not done their own research first. If I had tried Salvia without first being completely prepared for the experience through many hours of study before doing so I likely would have been frightened by the unexpected effects.
What is the proper use of Salvia divinorum?
Much depends upon your own maturity, your own sensitivity to the active principal and the place and setting used. Some individuals are extremely sensitive to salvinorin while others have no effect at all much less a vision. Also, salvia will sometimes have no effect until after repeated uses requiring many attempts before the first vision is produced. Because of this, especially when new to Salvia, always have a trusted and responsible clear minded sitter with you before attempting its use and above all, do not travel, drive or try this in a public place or share Salvia with anyone who has not done their own in depth research on this plant first. Some individuals, especially adolescents who somehow get a hold of Salvia are so immature that all it takes is a mild affect and they act out in ways which can shed a very poor light upon Salvia divinorum.
How deep does the rabbit hole go?
Is Salvia a true entheogenic substance? No doubt about it, salvinorin-A from Salvia divinorum leaf will allow the brain run on a kind of closed loop back upon itself through your visual center sometimes creating a vivid and awesomely beautiful world upon the mirror of your minds eye, visions which doubtless contain who we are and what we have experienced which through the use of this substance can synthesize a new kind of mind-reality. What Salvia can do, for s o m e individuals, s o m e of the time, for a few short minutes is to reveal their own subconscious thoughts through a kind of plant induced vision quest and well worth the journey to better understand your inner being if used properly. Salvia divinorum can be used as a philosophers stone for introspective journeys within one self which can be very spiritual but from my experience nothing more profound than what is potentially (we have a huge potential!) within ones self to begin with. On the more practical side Salvia can sometimes help bring long forgotten memories and even dreams from years before back to the surface of one’s consciousness. The inspiring beauty of some of these visions leads me to believe there must be more to them than just the affect of a entheogenic plant alone. Perhaps Salvia somehow allows or produces some kind of inner connection beyond our individual human selves, if a drug can loosen a knot within us which ordinarily prevents us from having that kind of connection, even if to only a very small degree, then the question becomes how deep does consciousness really go? Perhaps the visions we can experience through the use of entheogens like Salvia divionorum are more than just synaptic firings producing unusual patterns and or experiences, perhaps those firings are being influenced by something more as such substances act as some kind of key unlocking a door and giving us partial access to an unseen part of consciousness buried deep below normal means of detection? For most people who can only believe in what they can see in front of their face the idea there might be a deeper realm to consciousness or a spiritual reality beyond everyday cognition is completely absurd. I can very well understand that kind thinking, I've thought the same thing for years when it comes to the use of a hallucinogenic plant or substance that these experiences were completely in the heads of the person experiencing them but when I personally began investigating the experiences which can come from the use of such substances such a simple unknowing dismissal of their use and possibilities for consciousness becomes a very slippery slope. If you are willing to dare to experience the depth of such visions yourself and see the inner landscapes produced from their use you will find the rabbit hole is exceedingly deep and mysterious which can twist and branch into a myriad of possible individual experiential tunnels. Since I now believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience it very well may be that for some people Salvia divinorum may be a kind of molecular key which can allow access to mystical realms of consciousness which have always been a part of us to begin with.
Sensitivity to Salvia can vary greatly, for a minority of people plain dried leaf, as it falls off the plant, is strong enough to induce visions while others will have very little to no effect from smoking super enhanced Salvia leaf of 10X or higher concentration. For me regular dried leaf will only produce enough effect for use in meditation and very difficult to smoke due to how harsh it can be. Because of this most people do not smoke regular leaf and opt to either make or buy enhanced leaf which has its salvinorin content per gram of leaf artificially increased several fold above the amount found in natural leaf. To achieve visions most individuals require leaf which has been strengthened to at least 5X. Even then, visions may not be produced until after a dozen attempts or more, some disappointed souls never having any kind of vision at all while others can have them the first time. This is why when new to Salvia you must be very cautious about the amount used and never start out using more than very small amounts and only then slowly working your way up to larger amounts in small increments. To reduce the chance of getting too much the first time do not try anything stronger than 5X enhanced leaf, if 5X won't work for you then 10X won't either.
The stronger the enhanced leaf the less of it needs to be smoked for the same effect, otherwise, except for the amount of smoke produced, whether you are smoking 5X or 15X the effects will be identical for a given amount of salvinorin. The amount of salvinorin required to have a vision, if you are able to have them, is the same whether smoking natural 1X, 5X or 10X leaf but the possibility of getting too much salvinorin is greatly increased as you get beyond about 7X requiring a scale to accurately measure the amount to be smoked. With a gram of 5X leaf you can visually divide it into equal piles such as 1/10 a gram (or less) and then 1/8 and so on to slowly work your way up to find your own sensitivity but when using 10X a small difference in the size of a pile of enhanced leaf can be a significant increase of the active principal and because of this should never be used without an accurate scale.
The thing to understand is whether smoking 5X, 10X, 15X, 20X or higher enhanced leaf the effects are generally the same for a given amount of material r e l a t i v e to the amount of salvinorin contained within it but due to the lack of impurities being smoked it takes less and less salvinorin for full effects the stronger the enhanced leaf is, be careful. Smoking too large an amount of 5X leaf due to the amount of salvinorin infused into it is just as powerful as smoking too much salvinorin contained in 20X strength infused leaf, it just takes less leaf to do so when it is that concentrated. The way I see it there is no advantage to 20X leaf except for needing to hold less smoke in your lungs compared 5X but it is also far easier to get too much salvinorin when smoking 20X leaf and requires accurate measurement of the amount of material being smoked.
If you are especially sensitive to Salvia divinorum and foolishly smoke an amount which is several times more than is useful for a vision the effects come on fast and can be very frightening, especially when you are new to this plant or know little about the possible effects. When I foolishly did this in an effort to hasten my first vision I ended up being unable to walk due to its strong intoxicating effects at that level and felt like the whole room was twisting in on me, all of this without the reward of any kind of vision. It was a terrible experience as I was clutching the chair I was sitting in fearfully waiting for the twisting and crushing feelings to end which took a very long five minutes. I quickly learned never to do that again just from the awful twisting sensation alone. I experienced this first hand, that fools who play with Salvia without respect for it usually end up being punished for doing so by such an experience and often refuse to try Salvia again. It seems that you must slowly introduce yourself to its effects over time or you can get slapped down as if the guardian of the "Salvia space" has refused you entrance. Still, for some individuals they can have a vision in a short amount of time or the very first time they try. It's a fickle thing how some have visions right away and others require many attempts, I supposed it is chemistry, how sensitive you are to salvinorin to begin with as well as smoking technique. I’ve found the best way to smoke Salvia divinorum leaf is in a small pipe using a very hot butane torch with 5 to 10X leaf. If trying to use a match or a regular butane lighter the leaf and salvinorin it contains is not heated hot or quickly enough to fully vaporize the material and because of this is less effective, sometimes completely ineffective if using too small of a flame or attempting to use a match to burn the leaf.
Due to having been completely new to the use of any kind of psychotropic substance having taken far too much, as mentioned above, could have turned out much worse for me if I had not prior studied up to know of the possibility of this kind of fearful effect when having smoked too much material. If I hadn't first known to just sit still and wait for it to pass I might have t tried to run or get away which, of course, is impossible, especially with the strong intoxicating side effects. The worst case of a bad reaction I have heard of is a story about someone who used several fold the amount needed who went completely unconscious for a few minutes and ended up unconsciously thrashing around the room and then later coming out of it to the surprise of finding some of the furniture in the room pushed around with no memory of having done so. While I have only heard of this kind of story as passed around on the net by an anonymous individual I believe it is possible although probably rare. However, such nameless reports are always in question with me because there are several anti-freedom individuals who have been busy writing false horror stories about Salvia over the years in an effort to influence the scheduling of this plant. Personally, I've never had contact with anyone who has had that kind of thing happen to them (out of hundreds I've been in contact with, perhaps thousands) I believe it can happen if you are extremely foolish with Salvia, especially when using highly enhanced leaf which is over 5 to 7X strength which requires careful measurement to minimize the amount of salvinorin you smoke for the desired effect. Note I used the word minimize the amount, with Salvia you want to use the least amount possible not the most! If smoking too much Salvia you can overshoot causing your experience to be nothing like anything you might have hoped for finding yourself feeling as if you are being twisted into a right hand turning vortex without any kind of vision at all or a smeared blur of a vision without worthwhile aspects.
Negative effects?
Unfortunately for most Individuals the side effects of Salvia divinorum are somewhat similar to alcohol intoxication, although much briefer lasting. When smoking small to mid-sized amounts of strongly enhanced Salvia divinorum leaf of 5X or higher concentration most individuals will feel a light to moderate reduction of fine motor control to their body while their mind may seem to be as sharp and discerning as ever. For myself, when smoking an amount of enhanced leaf which is between a medium and large amount of the material (relative to my own sensitivity) the effects are in some ways similar to having quickly downed three to four shots of high proof alcohol which all take effect at once requiring me to immediately lay or sit down before the visions begin to kick in or I become too unstable to stand.
Looney Tuned? For me, only moderate to large amounts of artificially strengthened Salvia have had much effect to judgment but even then nothing worse than too easily laughing over what might normally be only marginally humorous but at no time have I ever felt even close to being a danger to either myself or anyone else. Even when under moderately heavy intoxication from this substance I always felt safe in what I was going through or doing with the only personally undesirable effect due to how my body felt intoxicated from the reduction of fine motor control which can cause a sense of imbalance until the effects wore off. When using fairly large amounts I have never had an experience that was so fearfully intense that I could not cope with the experience. There were a couple of times I had wished I had not smoked as much as I did but I never panicked or came close to harming myself in any way but I had studied this plant and its effects for a long time before I ever tried Salvia and fairly well knew what to expect, this is very important and why you should not share Salvia with individuals who don't understand the possible effects.
Chewing Salvia leaf:
When chewing dried or fresh Salvia leaf my experience is that the effects are very weak and require at least 20 minutes of chewing before much is felt at all. Because of that and the terribly bitter taste of the leaf whether dried or fresh, I have not explored very far with that method of imbibing but a few times and each time only achieving a very light state of influence from the leaf. I found that chewing leaf was just enough to put me into a calm meditative state of mind but not much more. Perhaps if I had chewed far more I might have had a vision, as reported by some, but for the most part I have not read much or heard from others that just regular leaf was very useful for more than weak effects. Again, if you happen to be especially sensitive to Salvia chewing just plain leaf could be enough for a full blown vision but few are quite that sensitive.
Salvia divinorum tincture:
I've tried both commercial made and home-made Salvia divinorum tincture and found that the only way I was able to use enough to produce a vision with either was through what is called the staggered method. How this is done is by loading an eye dropper with close to a single ml of tincture made from high proof ethanol (drinking alcohol) and quickly take three full dropper loads of it right away and holding all of it in my mouth for at least 3 minutes, spit or swallow and then take three more and hold the tincture in my mouth for another 3 or so minutes (under your tongue works for most people). After dosing one more time for a total of three dropper loads three times over I am usually unable to, or don't want to, take any more dropper loads out of the bottle due to the intoxicating effects of salvinorin. Then I just swallow the last of the tincture and sometimes go into a light trance like state just before the visions begin. Tincture can be effective, it has worked fine for me but the amount I needed was too expensive when using commercial made tincture and when using home made that I could afford to use a lot of I usually didn't want to try it again after a few days because the high proof alcohol in the tincture burned the delicate tissues in my mouth too much to want to worsen it by doing so again without waiting for my mouth to completely heal again. It is one thing to drink alcohol another to hold it in your mouth for ten minutes, try that with whiskey and I am sure it will do the same thing to your mouth.
Using Salvia to increase the intensity of sexual orgasm and the 3D-like appearance of back lit photos:
The use of this plant for sexual pleasures is upsetting to some individuals in the entheogen community because they believe Salvia divinorum is a sacred shamanic plant which should never be used for such purpose as to increase the peak intensity of an orgasm. My opinion is that all things in heaven and earth are sacred on some level. That said, if you can find a way to get just enough salvinorin A into your bloodstream without entering a visionary state and still have an interest in making love and or are able to do so, I've found that the peak intensity of orgasm is increased at least ten times above normal which is a huge increase. If you try this be prepared to become very vocal at the moment of peak intensity.
3D affect to back lit photos: If you take an amount which is close to, but just below the amount which can produce a vision and look at a television screen or computer monitor with either a movie or a photo the image appears to have dimension to it! As if instead of looking at a two dimensional image you are looking at something which is really there. When doing so there has never been any doubt in my mind over what I was seeing, always fully cognizant of the fact what I was seeing was just an image on a screen but yet for some reason salvinorin can cause me to see a depth to the image which is not really there. I found this experience to be very unusual and exciting, the next best thing to 3D with simple technology. Coupled with the common effects of heightened sexuality and much higher orgasmic peaks one can imagine how distracted an individual could become if viewing nudes on a computer while smoking just enough Salvia leaf to produce this effect. As if porn wasn't already an addiction to too many lives as it is, if this caught on and became common knowledge I am convinced there would be a huge group of individuals using Salvia for this purpose alone, something which would certainly miff the metaphysical-shamanic Salvia crowd to no end believing this kind of activity would be a misuse of the plants "spirit". Becoming too distracted by sexual energies can lead to problems and perhaps this can be a misuse of the plant for you, if you believe it so, and according to that belief “misusing” the plant will doubtlessly affect your spirit negatively to do so. However, for myself, I do not see sex or an orgasm as less than spiritual or separate from spirit and because of this I am not negatively affected by such actions.

Salvia vision questing, my own experience:
Here is a report on my most notable vision while under the influence of home made tincture when using a method of tincture dosing which maximizes the amount of salvinorin in the blood for a given period of time. The following experience came from dosing with tincture using the staggered method of taking three 1 ml dropper loads of tincture at a time, holding it in my mouth and waiting 4 minutes before swallowing each time, three times in a row for a total of 9 dropper loads full in a period of 12 minutes: I found myself in a trance-like dream, dreaming that I was someone else. I was a young kid who had fallen onto a dusty road and got some dirt in his eyes.
My father helped me up and wiped the earth out of my eyes. As he was doing so, this reality, this place, this Earth disappeared, wiped away by his handkerchief. I saw my earthly reality as a dark stained mark on that white cloth in his hand, and it all pulled away from me as he withdrew the cloth and crumpled it up, closing it in his fist. He said, "You know, you ought to be careful not to let that earth get in your eyes. If you do, you soon lose all contact with who you really are, getting all wrapped up in that strange place, believing that it is real." Then he said, "You can live a lifetime there and not know that it is just earth in your eyes."
The thought then occurred to me, how strange the experience was, that I actually had a whole life in that place, a place that had such things as cats and dogs. I thought that it was all very weird; nothing like that really existed. I was glad that I had returned to reality, as a kid in my father's arms. The Earth was just a dream.
Then I was back, more earth in my eyes. Cats and dogs are real again!
When I experienced this it was as if I were both watching from the outside while at the same time experiencing it from the perspective of the child. When I was a very young boy I used to view cats and dogs as opposites and because of this I believe their role in this vision represented the concept of good and evil, light and darkness, the outward flow and inward pull.
One of the most unusual things which has happened to me from smoking Salvia was having experienced short lived amnesia which turned out to be a very positive experience. I temporarily lost all memory of my past and who I was for a few seconds, but even then the experience was far from fearful and without panic. The good which came out of that experience, after perhaps 20 seconds of loosing myself and then returning was that I found who I am without being who I think I am. For many this kind of statement is more than strange and completely nutz because for most people the idea of loss of their past and who they believe themselves to be would be a terrible thing, even if short lived. However, for me I found the experience to be a rewarding mini-vacation from myself. For the first time "in memory" I experienced my own consciousness without the coloring or tint of past concepts and previous experience. For a few moments I had only pure awareness without concept of good or evil. I could then understand what it is to have non-individualized awareness.

The spiritual use of Salvia?
The effects of Salvia divinorum can be very spiritual and because of this some individuals become so enthused by such psychotropic effects to their consciousness they have grouped together on internet forums to discuss these effects. Also, a few individuals have come together to form a religious kind of internet community which is a mix of both popular metaphysical belief and shamanic religion together having its own Goddess which has been reported by many to have appeared in their visions, many experiencing the same feminine presence without ever having known others were also having similar visions of a feminine figure or Goddess. Most visions of such things (which although brief lasting and usually quickly dissipating once opening your eyes) seem to be a real inner reality, as if another place can somehow be accessed through the use of this substance and maybe some or all to some degree or another actually do, I don't know. What ever it is which happens the visions can be awesomely beautiful and from that beauty extremely spiritual in nature awakening a deep reverence and love for them. However, because as human beings. within we are each a universe of our own reality created through the reflections of what we have learned and sensed from the world around and within us, due to this any vision we can possibly imagine can exist within our thoughts and indeed, sometimes through the use of entheogens new horizons can open up which appear to be far beyond our individual abilities, drug or no drug, but which is it? Are we only perceiving our own minds ability to synthesize the visions we can have or are our minds connecting to something more which allows us to experience a new reality in that fold where what we think and are as human beings somehow overlaps another reality which shines through that eclipse of mind and other world spirit producing a new landscape? This question is a difficult one for me to come to terms with, to have an answer for. I want this to be the reality but I just don't know yet. Can a compound from a plant unlock consciousness in some way which can allow us to somehow perceive things which are normally beyond the capacity of our brains gray matter alone? I dearly hope so and that we can someday advance far enough to know the answer to this question, whichever way the reality is proven to be I do not believe the value of such experiences would be lost whether the answer is that entheogens can create a bridge to something beyond or individual realities or not, if these substances are merely releasing the potential of our brain in ways we normally cannot access their value is not at all lost to us.
I have myself have experienced things through the use of this plant which appears to be more than from my own consciousness, even though I also believe the experiences from salvinorin-A are more often than not a mix of the sub-conscious and conscious minds I also believe that the human brain is much more than it appears to be and through that what might seem impossible is in reality possible. Reading many of the online blogs on the subject of Salvia divinorum it is clear many individuals have come to believe the use of Salvia divinorum will allow contact with one another on an astral-like spiritual plane sometimes referred to as Salvia Space or that it can allow remote viewing of others either in the past, present or future. Is this really possible? All I can remark on that subject is that the older I get the more I know truth is certainly far stranger than fiction.
Salvia is effective for meditation and spiritual contemplations but be careful what you believe:
I know firsthand about the extraordinarily wonderful spiritualistic experiences which can sometimes be found through the use of Salvia and personally hold them in extremely high regard when properly used, but I still don't know for sure whether most if not every vision experienced through the use of Salvia is any more than our thoughts are real (The effects of thought upon quantum are very real so which is more real, physical reality or thought?). Regardless of whether these experiences are anything more than chemical reactions in our heads or not the only real problem I can see with fully believing the effects of this plant are a doorway to a hidden spiritual plane (whether true or not) is when some individuals believe that all of the visions received while under the influence are some kind of "higher" level reality or "truth" when in fact, as reported by many individuals such visions can be completely flawed and only reflect what you already believe and in some cases fear.

Are today's vision inducing substances just the beginning?
In my opinion the vision producing substances we know about today are just the beginning of the exploration of consciousness through the use of molecular keys. It's obvious to me the most exciting future for mankind is an internal exploration, that the real frontier is the human brain which is far more powerful than any silicon or carbon based computer will ever be. Leading edge research in consciousness is ever confirming that our wetware parallel processing self-conscious brain is more than just an isolated self-conscious entity but something which has an ability to interface with the universe on a quantum level. Although I cannot prove this or claim I know the following as fact; I believe the use of molecular keys known as entheogenic substances can sometimes allow us to have a interaction to a greater mind which is not only human awareness alone but an interconnection of all forms of sentient self-aware consciousness which through that connection can join as one with one another. My hope is that we will continue developing these keys to allow new conscious doorways to be opened and see our progression in this field to be the real lasting frontier for mankind to advance forward into, a future which has no end. We must have more freedom to seek cognitive experiences through these substances which are far beyond ordinary day to day consciousness. Unfortunately there are many individuals who are now desperately trying to suppress the use of all natural entheogens which are currently legal decreeing into law that they are a criminal act with threat of great loss of personal freedom, AKA imprisonment. To stand tall on my soap box; when did we pass the line where the citizens of this country began to believe any restriction of personal freedom which does not harm another individual done within ones own home will leave the rest of "freedom" intact? When it comes to issues like this I believe freedom can never be what it claims to be when it is divided because true or real freedom is and will always be indivisible. If we are not going to be truly free in this country and desire to allow societies general ignorance about these substances to choose what they see as security over freedom, then lets call it what it is and stop saying we live in a free country when we don't, only free in general terms, not full reality.
A word of caution from an experienced Salvianaught:
Don't let the fascination with this plant and its effects take over your life as I allowed it to do. Even though I was very conservative over how much and how often I used Salvia the subject became an obsession for me. Due to an intense fascination with this entheogen I wasted several years of my life which should have been spent on more important things. I spent many hours researching this plant and discussing its effects with others on the internet for several more years when I should have been getting on with my career and family life instead but I still find myself drawn to this plant and its psychotropic effects, even though I haven't imbibed this material for several years now my interest is still thirsting to know more. Salvia divinorum is a wonderful tool for the exploration of consciousness but it is not life itself, you are... When used responsibly with clear mind and intent Salvia divinorum can be a great tool to better know yourself but don't let it become an obsession. The real trip is life, the inner visions produced by Salvia divinorum can be useful for the people who are capable of deep personal introspection to learn from but not your highest potential for understanding as a human being, far from it. Nothing wrong with piping up every now and then but don't let any one thing or interest block your sight from the rest. As I believe the Buddha might say; moderation is the key in both action and thought, the middle path for all things which is neither too taught or too slack is the path of life, in so many words, that is. Obsession has a dear price, those who are obsessed with particular subjects no doubt help advance societies understanding of them but in the end the price may turn out to be too high when you have ignored the people in your life who should come first. Fortunately, I figured this out before it was too late and quit before I became involved with any other substance (such as "spice" which I have also had an intense interest) which might have caused years more of ignoring my family and those I love most. This is the advise for those individuals who have the same kind of personality I have, somewhat obsessive compulsive. I you can lead a balanced life and still do these things then you are blessed, I have not been so blessed as I become thoroughly absorbed by my interests too much of the time.

November 2009, from Southwest Asia where I have been for the last two years:
I've enjoyed putting this web page together to give my opinion on the subject, especially with all of the people who are now seeking to criminalize Salvia divinorum for its psychotropic properties. While I firmly believe Salvia divinorum should be regulated to keep this plant and or its extract out of the hands of adolescents, criminalizing this plant and its active principal salvinorin just because it can be used as a strong visionary psychotropic is clearly a knee jerk reaction from a group of fearful people with a lack of much real understanding and in some case, understanding or not, are simply against such freedoms. To me the answer to many potential issues and fears is very simple; make this substance illegal to sell to adolescents and also highly tax Salvia divinorum so teens cannot easily afford to purchase this material which will also give a mechanism to fully track its sale, A clear win-win for everyone. I realize this last statement about taxing Salvia won't be well received by many but I'd rather see that than see the constructive use of Salvia become a criminal act.

I am not sure if this may help you...
You can promote crystal growth by seeding. With sugar crystals, it is common to add a thread or wooden stick to the mixture. The absorbent surface draws a "Seed crystal", which acts as a growing surface that promotes growth.
Any super-saturated solution will promote growth, when a seed is present. Seeds are like a lego-key, for the ionized suspension to bond with. Slow reduction of the solutions suspension agent, also promotes growth, displacing the saturation which is lost as the crystals form. (Keeping it super-saturated.)
You would do this, by adding a single crystal, or large crystal to the super-saturated solution before it cools. Slower cooling will result in more and clean structure. (You can also use high pressure to assist growth.) - Jason D, Tue, 17 Feb 2009 2:25AM
Hi,
Glad I could help with the information provided. The tests for solubility I cited came from a professor at a university outside of the USA I had sent Salvia to so he could run the solubility tests. Because he used university lab equipment for those tests he does not wish to have his name used as the source for those figures.
I myself am still outside of the USA working in Afghanistan and have not been back since March and am no longer active with Salvia but I am happy to help where I can. - Sphere, Mon, 19 Jan 2009 6:19AM
Hi Sphere,
First of all, thanks for all your great work and documentation on extracting salvinorin A. I'm currently working on an article on micropipetted acetone tinctures of salvinorin A for The Entheogen Review. I cite your chilled acetone extraction tek in it, which is what I based my extractions on. I also cite your given solubilities of 23mg/ml salvinorin A in acetone and 1.28mg/ml in ethanol. We would very much like to know your source for this? Is it empirical based your original research or can you cite a paper or other reference? This article will be going to press soon, so it would be great if you could reply as soon as you get this.
"Is there any benifit of forming crystals as apposed to leaving the salvinorin as a powder?":
If you look at purified salvinorin-A under a microscope you can see even as a powder, it is in crystalline form, just very small crystals, or broken ones which have been ground down into very fine particles.
The only advantage I see to forming crystals is it helps increase the purity of the extract because some of the waxy chlorophyll colored impurities are usually left behind on the rim of the evaporation container used to grow crystals in. Does the extract need to be high purity for use on leaf or tincture, not at all except with reduced impurities the leaf it is applied to smokes cleaner and therefore is less harsh on the lungs.
"Does growing crystals increase the amount of salvinorin? If so in what way would you take these crystals and re-introduce them to dried leaf"
As my answer above, it increases the purity of the salvinorin, as far as amount, it will reduce the amount because some will be left in the impurities which are left behind on the rim of the evaporation container. The crystals can be dissolved into several solvents and then that solvent is mixed into crushed leaf and allowed to fully evaporate while stirring the leaf around so you do not get a high concentration of salvinorin on a small portion of leaf. However, this is very tricky and difficult to do, if you do not have experience working with salvinorin and evaporating solvent onto leaf you might produce hot spots of highly concentrated amounts of salvinorin on the leaf which can easily cause someone to get far too much with one draw on a pipe. I don't recommend making your own leaf if you are a newbie to this kind of thing. It is easier and cheaper just to buy leaf from a vendor which has already had salvinorin infused into it. - Sphere, Fri, 27 Jun 2008 1:15PM
