How safe are extracts?
A. They are safe if prepared properly and used wisely. It is highly recomended that you have a sitter present when experimenting with any enhanced or concentrated form of Salvia divinorum. Poorly manufactured extracts, or fortified leaves may contain traces of toxic solvents or other residues. Unless standardized, the strength of these preparations may vary. Apart from possible solvent toxicity, the main danger is from fires, falls, burns and confused behavior resulting in injury. Extract can be quite powerful and must be used carefully. I generally recommend that people avoid using products containing more than 15 mg. salvinorin A per gram of leaf (i.e. products stronger than 6X) unless the dose has been weighed precisely. Be sure that you know what you are doing before experimenting with extracts, fortified leaves, and standardized salvinorin A enhanced leaf.
