Salvia dosage?

I'm going to be making a tea from dried salvia leaves and I've got a couple questions.
1. How many leaves should I use for one person's dose? (Myself)
2. How long should I hold each sip in my mouth to effectively absorb the actives?
Any help is appreciated

Go crazy my friend, I've smoked and drank salvia tea dozens of times, and it's not that dose sensitive especially when you look at how the brain is affected by salvia. Eyeball it.

I would eyeball it but I've heard of putting a whole ounce in the brew but I assumed that would be for multiple people, but I've also heard just a handful or two. I just want somewhat of an idea of how much I should use

This is kind of true, everyone's effected by salvia on different levels. Most drugs have some variation between people but salvia is pretty noticeable, some people need to be smoking 80x extract to get where they need to be, some people only need a couple grams of plain leaf and they're no longer here

It depends on what you want to do, if you want to be fully immersed in the experience and 'break through' i'd use at least 3 grams, if you just want to try it out try 1-2. Taking it orally is also a more varied experience

Salvias definitely dose sensitive to a certain point but if you're looking for that break through experience once you find the right amount adding more doesn't always make a stronger experience

a pound ....jk ...sounds dangerous...good luck ...hope you don't pass out and wake up with your pants on backwards in a strange place ......haha

My plan is to just welcome the presence of Lady Salvia at first and when I'm ready I'll want a breakthrough experience. Will 3 grams dry leaf boiled/simmered into a tea be an effective breakthrough dose?

Drinking it all at once might, but most people just take a few sips and wait between to gauge how far they want to go, in comes on pretty quickly, each extra sip will take you another level higher. That's why most people usually use quite a lot of leaf in brews, if they were drinking on oz of leaf tea at once they'd definitely be in for a journey

All of them!

Thanks for the help everybody but upon further research I've decided to do the quid method of ingestion for two reasons:
1. A lot of sources say salvinorin a isn't water soluble
2. Erowid offers exact quid dosages
