I can. So there are extracts ie 15x which is 15 times more potent than regular salvia leaves. To get high from smoking plain leaves, you would have to take many many massive hits and it wouldn't be very intense. So, they make extracts so that you dont have to smoke as much.

If you have plain leaves, instead of smoking them what some people do is they take 15-25 big leaves and roll them up into a ball which is called a "quid". You have to hold it in your mouth, without spitting, for up to a half an hour. By then, the effects should be coming on and it will last another half hour. The salvinorin A, the active ingredient in salvia, will be absorbed through your mouth kind of like smokeless tobacco.

So those are the two methods, smoking extract or making a quid of plain leaf. You could probably make a quid of extract but it would be better to smoke it and not waste it when you could buy an oz of plain leaf for a quid off ebay for 25 bucks. Hope that clears it up for you. Just post anymore questions that you could have or visit www.sagewisdom.com thats a great website with good info on salvia.
