Quidding Salvia

19 Aug Quidding Salvia

Mind your own business as much as possible. As soon as you are finished tripping, I recommend journaling your trip on paper or by recording your voice on your phone. Hey guys, today I’m going to quid leaves for the first time. Can someone sumarize to me how to do it properly ?

So yes, you can find other tutorials on this subreddit and online. But I’ll try my best to answer future comments/questions on this post. I will also be as extensive as possible in this post. There will be summary guides at the bottom. Create your account and connect with a world of communities.

Keep a bowl or something nearby to spit out the leaves once you’ve started feeling the effects strongly or until you’ve reached 15-20minutes. When most people think of ingesting salvia, they instantly think of smoking extracts of the leaf. This has become the standard way of using the plant in western culture. The Mazatec, however, traditionally ingested the leaf orally or buccally. By chewing a large bundle of fresh Salvia leaves, commonly reffered to as a “quid”, one absorbs the active ingredients of the leaf through mucosal membranes in the mouth, throat, and gums.

First time quidding Salvia. Any tips?

TL;DR quidding salvia is the best way to take salvia in my opinion. It is very subtle and is best experienced in silent darkness. The chewing process is not super comfortable, but I recommend starting with 3 grams of dried plain leaf. Guides for dry leaf, fresh leaf, and tinctures included above as well as guides for tripping alone and how to be a tripsitter. On your phone, I recommend starting a stopwatch once you’ve started chewing the leaves. This will help you know how long it takes you to chew to start feeling the effects, how far along the trip you are (should be around an hour long), and when you’ve stopped tripping around.

This leads to a much less jarring, gentle, yet longer, experience. I have found it to be perfect for loosening the mind during meditation. The tunnel wisped off into a waterfall, and disappeared to be replaced by more random nonsensical cartoon visions.

• The visions began as faint patterns against black.
• If you can make it to 10 minutes of chewing without spitting or swallowing, that’s great.
• By quidding salvia leaves, you should have a mindset akin to being ready to meditate or dream.
• If the trip is too strong for you, focus on your breath and do meditation.
• There will be summary guides at the bottom.

Lose yourself in your imagination, and fully immerse yourself in the experience. Don’t let the outside how to quid salvia world distract you from your internal thoughts. Try not to swallow for as long as you can.

• I understand it’s uncomfortable, but it’s worth it to push past that in my opinion.
• If your trip-ee is laying on a bed or something, sit on a chair that does not directly face them.
• I was wondering why I had all of a sudden formed chants in my head, and why random three note songs, almost like carnival music, played in my mind.
• Many salvia guides explain that a proper way to orally absorb plain leaf is through first soaking and then rolling the plain leaves into a cylinder called a quid.

Guide for the trip sitter:

She had large, intricate butterfly wings, and a feminine body, almost like a fairy. She reminds me somewhat of the Disney cartoon tinkerbell, and this association is probably where my mind went off creating cartoon-like visions. I interpret her to be the Lady Salvia that I have read about in so many other trip reports, and I ask for her to take me with her over and over again. She looks into my face and then agrees too.

This music was in the background the occurrence of the trip, and the notes changed frequently to match the mood of my visions. If you are quidding dry leaves, soak the leaves in hot warm water for 15 minutes. Not boiling water, just nice hot warm water. Then collects all the leaves, squeeze out the water a bit. Then put them in your mouth and squeeze/suck the water out of them again and swallow it or spit out the excess water.

If the trip is too strong for you, focus on your breath and do meditation. Know that it will all be over within an hour. Most likely though, your trip will be so subtle that you won’t be overwhelmed.

If you can make it to 10 minutes of chewing without spitting or swallowing, that’s great. I understand it’s uncomfortable, but it’s worth it to push past that in my opinion. 15 minutes of quidding is a great goal to aim for in my opinion. In my earlier days, I would set a timer for 15 minutes and then spit out. Now I just keep quidding until I feel the effects enough. If you’re like me, you’ll start talking to imaginary characters, visualizing your mouth or some other imagery things, etc.

Guide to salvia quidding

These accidents where people jump out windows on salvia only occur because the drug was smoked in a too potent manner. Whereas with quidding, the effect is subtle enough that I could check off a whole grocery list in Walmart while tripping. The imagination and experience of quidding depends on you meditating and meeting the salvia where it is at, if you don’t do your part, it won’t give you its full effect.

Fresh leaves result in more tannins that dry out the mouth and have a stronger bitter taste. However, fresh leaves by a plant is a beautifully unique experience in my opinion. Quidding is the act of absorbing Salvinorin from the mucous membranes in the mouth, usually attained by chewing salvia leaves. I had seen her silhouette formed by vines during my first trip, and she had also appeared several times for short periods of time during this trip.

She “sucked” a silhouette of my laying body up to her chest much like a UFO sucks up abductees. If you have a good trip-sitting friend who won’t poke and prod during your trip ask if you’re feeling it yet, then bring them along. I find doing it alone is fine, as long as you are not in a place where you could easily hurt yourself (eg. Jumping out of a window in a two-story building).

Were they leaves, as my mind so clearly formed them to be my last salvia journey? (See previous blog post) As I focused on them, they lined up to form a circular tunnel, and formed eyes that stared at my body, which was flowing down the tunnel. I got the feeling that they could be mischevious, as they were during my last trip, but they also seemed malicious in some form. I randomly interpreted them to be a disease that was in the leaves I was chewing; all of the leaves were dropped by my plants because they were sick.

The tunnel formed again later , and then I realized that the entities were the cells of the salvia plant and that I was travelling down its stem. At the end of the “Tunnel” The butterfly/fairy-lady of my previous trip appeared. This page may contain sensitive or adult content that’s not for everyone. If you are quidding fresh salvia leaves, you can cut them off your plant in pairs of two and chew them until you have room in your mouth for the next pair. I assume you don’t have to, but it’s nice to respect the past cultures that paved the way for us too.
