Can one chew Salvia Divinorum?

Sure, salvia is chewed all the time. Natives of South America do not go around with bongs and pipes- they chew this plant just like to tobacco. However, when you buy salvia it is important to buy the dried leaves. The green leaves are disgusting and not palatable, unless you want to give then to your cow.

To get the euphoric effects from chewing salvia, you need to work on it. Just sticking a wad of salvia leaves in your mouth will do jack-shit. You have to chew and grind the leaves to release the salvinorin from the plant, which produces the euphoria.

When you buy salvia you will be told how to chew so that you can get that “zingy” feeling. For a mild effect, you need to chew on 2 grs of dried leaves for at least 20 minutes. For a more intense affect, you need to chew on 5-10 grs. 

Unlike tobacco, the juices collected in your mouth are swallowed. While chewing may sound like a chore and may not look appealing, the euphoric effects are much more longer lasting then smoking.
