I was under the impression that frequent salvia use resulted in no increases in tolerance or reverse tolerance. I guess ask him about that next time! I am definitely interested to know about the effects of long term frequent use of salvia. Thanks.
 
i later got this reply from him:
I wasn't saying that I got tolerance from Salvia from using it very
regularly. Probably the greatest frequency with which I was using it
initially was 1/month, not daily. It's possible the quality has
changed, but I was getting it from the same place all along, so unless
they changed their formulation, I have to attribute it to my brain
chemistry.
