Thank you for your kind words physics envy.

I have found through experience that I'm roughly average and fall in line with this table from erowid:

I think it is a mystery why the effects from the same dose of leaves vary so much between individuals. It could be due to different sensitivity, but also maybe due to different buccal absorption (?). How leaves are buccaly active and salvinorin absorbed while quidding is still a mystery I believe. With complexation, the mechanism is understood and utilized in a consistent manner in the medical field, but I'm not sure of the % of complexation with the simple process used here. Since HPBCD is soluble in water and not soluble in acetone, we can try to measure the complexation %.

In my case, it seems that complexation gave me stronger effects than quidding. The 25mg dose I took yesterday contained about ~3.6mg of salvinorin (and ~3.6g of plant material and ~18mg of HPBCD) or about 1.8g of dry leaves. I would need to take at least 2x that amount of dry leaves based on previous experience to have the same effects.

As mentioned before we need others to try complexation to check for confirmation that it works. Previous reports of buccal activity using alternative methods to quidding have been have inconsistent (and in a way quidding itself is variable), so we need to know how complexation does in person to person testing.
