Overdosing on Salvia
With any drug, there are worries of causing you physical harm from using it. A lot of people worry that using drugs can be habit forming and lead to an addiction which has physical dependence on the drug. With salvia that is not really a main issue though because it is not really that addictive. However, a lot of people still have concerns that you could overdose on salvia but they are not informed on the subject. Overdosing on salvia would be very rare and is very unlikely to happen at all no matter how much you take.
Oral Consumption
There have been no reports of anyone that overdosed on salvia which lead to death from salvinorin poisoning. The amount of salvia that you can orally use before it becomes fatal is unknown but the number is very high and is unlikely to be met by any salvia user.
Inhaled Smoke
If you are inhaling salvia smoke then there is a chance of you overdosing as well but it is very unlikely that it will ever occur. There is probably a certain amount which could lead to a fatal overdose but the problem is that the person is likely to pass out or become unconscious before they reach that amount because they are smoking so much. There is not really any information available about the effects that the toxic ingredients have in salvia.
There are a lot of things about salvia which could lead to a fatal overdose but the amount of salvia that you would have to use is a whole lot so it is not the main concern. Just a bit of common sense should prevent you from overdosing on salvia because you would have to be out of your mind or incompetent to use so much salvia that it would be fatal.
