Salvia needs to be very hot indeed before it combusts. Much hotter in fact that either tobacco or cannabis. This is why it’s just not possible to smoke it in a joint. Many go and buy salvia with the intention of smoking it just like this. Unfortunately it just won’t work. Sorry.

The best way to get the most out of the Salvia that you get is to buy a pipe. If you don’t have one then consider buying a pipe at the same time as you buy Salvia. These kind of outlets — whether they are on the Internet or on your high street — are not only the best place to buy salvia, but they are the best place to buy related paraphenalia, too. Consider this the next time you buy Salvia.

Some people use a standard bong with water in it to take Salvia. The water, they reason, means that the hot smoke from the Salvia is cooled before it enters the lungs; this cooling makes the whole feeling a lot less harsh and so it is easier to hold the smoke in for longer, and easier to help it to work its magic on your mind. Consider this next time you buy salvia, too!
