Salvia Blotters

[JustinNed]

So I just came across this pretty simple method of making some "salvia blotters". Let me know if anyone tries it out.

You need:

* 5 grams Salvia Divinorum dry unextracted
* 100 ml of solvent (more on solvent choice below)
* 900ml water
* Jar or 1 liter flask
* Bowl
* Funnel
* Coffee grinder or Mortar and Pestle
* Filter Paper or Coffee Filter
* Tea strainer or fine mesh sieve

1. Powder 5grams of dry Salvia Divinorum leaves. A coffee grinder will work if it is the type with a small bowl and a spinning blade. A mortar and pestle is best though.
2. In the jar or flask, combine powdered Salvia with solvent. (A note on solvents; any polar solvent will work but for this extraction an alcohol is best, either 151 proof Everclear or 70% Isopropyl Alcohol [rubbing alcohol].)
3. Let this mixture sit for 10 hours.
4. Add your water to the flask or jar. Adding water to the alcohol lowers the solubility of the active ingredient Salivorin A to the point that it will fall out or ?precipitate?. This will make your 1-liter solution look slightly cloudy; it is the clouds that you want. Let sit for 5 minutes.
5. Set up your funnel with filter paper over the bowl. Get your tea strainer above the funnel.
6. Pour the solution from the flask, through the strainer and filter into the bowl. Do it slowly, don?t let the liquid get more than half way up the paper.
7. Wash out your flask or jar with more water to get any residue on the bottom, again pour it through the filters.
8. Discard the liquid and save the paper. You should notice a nice round area on your paper that looks slightly green or yellow.
9. Dry your paper in an oven; 2 minutes on 300 degrees work fine. It will now look as though you have crystals on your paper and indeed you do.
10. Cut this circular green are into five equal pieces, each one is good for a nice oral trip or maybe two smoked.

Wow !!! Then you could tell people it was LSD , rip them off and make loads of $$$$$$$$

Sounds intresting, is there someone with some experience on using salvia on this way. I`m really intrested in how long it works and what the effect could be.

considering this stuff is becoming illegal anyway I hope that this method works, will try it sometime probably way more pleasant than chewing leaves

I`m still planning to experiencing with salvia, so i think i`m gonna get my self some dryed leaves and some extract. With the leaves i`m gonna try what described here above. Again it sounds, so interesting. Did no one tryed this on the forum?

I got as far as step 3 last night. Will try the rest of the process tonight.
the only thing is that the leaves became so fine when i was grinding them in a coffee grinder that i don't think a strainer is going to work
i could swear i was getting a bit high just playing with the salvia powder


IF this works (almost seems too easy!), mileage will probably vary depending on the user. When I weighed out the 5g of leaves, had I instead chewed them using the quid method, it would have worked out to about two pretty intense trips. (But not 5 trips. Maybe I'm a hardhead, but I don't think so.)

No go. Waste of good leaves

I think i got higher off the isopropyl fumes than anything else. And my apartment smelled like the local Vet. yech!

On the plus side I discovered that ground salvia is pretty much indistinguishable from sage... and isopropyl kills allll the bad taste.

Something seemed odd though, wouldn't you want to evaporate the alcohol and collect the residue/crystals? just pouring through a filter seems rather .. strange. Might try a variation of the above recipie someday...

Ofcourse there is a way to extract Salvinorin A from the leaves and somehow put them into the blotters, the only problem is if they would fit a normal sized blotter, I mean, Salvia has always been hard to deal with, alot of people smoking it normally and not getting any effects out of it is an example, I'm just thinking until some crazy ass scientist decides to put the fucking shit to work it won't work with our coffee grinders.

Anyways good luck, you guys might be known in a couple of years as the new Greatful Dead, lmao.

Oh damn, sorry. While I was browsing around totse.com I saw a couple more, if you want you could look them up. Sorry bout posting something that's wrong

Its ok, who knows. Maybe i did something wrong, maybe the instructions are a bit vague.. anyway was fun to try!
