 Only when enough of Salvia's highly active compound, Salvinorin A, is absorbed through the oral mucosa and into the blood stream can a psychoactive effect be produced <ref name="14a">Siebert, D. J., '''Salvia divinorum and Salvinorin A: new pharmacological findings''', ''Journal of Ethnopharmacology'', 1994, 43, 1, 53-56, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7526076</ref>. There are several methods of ingesting Salvia with varying durations of hallucinogenic effects <ref name="15a">'''Salvia Divinorum''', 2013, http://www.cesar.umd.edu/cesar/drugs/salvia.asp</ref>.
-* Dried leaves of Saliva can be smoked like marijuana, in a [[bong]], pipe, or as a [[joint]], with effects lasting up to 15 minutes. Fresh leaves of Salvia can be chewed and swallowed or chewed as a quid <ref name="16a">Halpern, J.

 * When chewed as a quid, the leaves of Salvia produce extractions of Salvinorin A before the leaves are removed from the mouth. The extractions are absorbed through the oral mucosa and produce visual hallucinations, lasting 1 to 2 hours; the longer the herb remains in the mouth, the stronger the effect will be.
 * Salvinorin A extracts can be mixed in a drink or vaporised and inhaled.

 Alternatively, the fresh foliage is crushed by hand or ground on a milling stone which can be used for making a drinkable infusion. At least six fresh leaves are needed to achieve noticeable effects, which manifest after about 10 minutes and lasts for 45 minutes or longer.
-For recreational use, the most common way of administration is smoking the crushed dried leaves from a [[water-pipe]] or [[bong]], providing short-lasting (15 - 20 minute) hallucinations within a minute. Typically, 0.25 - 0.75 gram leaf material is smoked.

 Chewing the bitter leaves as a quid gives a longer lasting effect and the typical dosages to produce mild to medium effects are 10 - 30 grams of fresh leaves or 2 - 5 grams of dried leaves.

 === Smoking ===
-Some people smoke dried salvia leaves in order to get a stronger experience of the drug. Using a [[water-pipe]] ([[bong]]) and a cigarette lighter is a popular method. Using matches is risky, as you are likely to drop it as soon as the drug kicks in. The problem with smoking dried salvia leaf is that you need to inhale a great deal of thick smoke over 2 or 3 minutes to get an effective dose as the leaves naturally contain so little of the drug. This is unpleasant, probably unhealthy, and difficult to achieve for most people.

 However, salvia for smoking is now mostly purchased in the form of dried, ground-up salvia leaf which frequently has had a concentrated salvia extract added. This allows the entire dose of Salvinorin A to be consumed in just a few puffs or even just one inhalation. This gives a large risk of having an unpleasantly overwhelming experience. Extreme caution must be taken with these products. If you intend to use them, start small and work your way up, rather than jumping in at the deep end.
