Thank you for being intelligent.
My answer to you is that the quid method is similar to the traditional method, but much more efficient. Here's what I recommend:
Prequid prep: Do make sure to scour your mouth with a toothbrush and some healthy toothpaste, then swish by perhaps using a non-fluoride, non-chemistry industry friendly mouthwash, but make sure that it is alcohol rich as that is the key ingredient to increasing the absorption.
General method: Create a very GOOD sized quid by presoaking about 15 to 30 dried leaves (or rolling as many fresh ones into a quid directly, in your case), then inserting under your tongue, chewing softly every minute or so, putting back under the tongue as much as possible. If the volume of saliva becomes impracticable after a short time, swallow some if it, it can only help, then do a good chew to increase the Salvorin-A/saliva ratio in favor of the Salvorin A. You may need to swallow a little about 3 times over thirty minutes. At the end, you may already be feeling something, but keep going!! Chew viciously for a few minutes, or calmly for another full ten, swallow all saliva, spit, and lay back. If this is too mild for you, smoke a bit at that time, starting with a single dry regular leaf to see what comes of it, only increasing from there if it seems appropriate.
Enjoy your learning experience (if "enjoy" is the right word, depends on how philosophically minded you are, you know, in the "Platonic" sense as spelled out by good old Socrates.... Hee...hee...)
