Please tell me if I am doing anything wrong. I have tried quidding dry leaves about 6 separate times over the past couple months, and I have felt nothing. I usually take 4-5 leaves, chew them thoroughly, and hold them under my tongue or swish them around my mouth for 30 minutes to an hour. Last night, I tried grinding up 10 leaves in a mortar and pestle, mixing it with a couple drops of lemon juice, then rinsing my mouth out with alcohol, and quidding a spoon of the powder. I held it for as long as my muscles would allow me, about an hour and 30 minutes, and I didn't notice any changes. Am I better off just smoking it? I don't feel like wasting anymore.
