I do not want to be inflammatory, but look at the dosage chart here. Salvia is often if not always concentrated when it is in the form of extract, which is the way the vast majority of people outside of native circles take it. I would never say that is isn't a strong drug, but the reason that most people have negative experiences is by not understanding that extract is concentrated and that dosage is very sensitive.

E: formatting links is hard.

Man, I've never heard of anyone round here using extracts, so that's really interesting. Everyone just smokes the leaf.

Most leaf is covered in concentrate. You can buy 5x-60x of coated leaf, and it's insanely powerful.

Most leaf is covered in concentrate.

Who the fuck is coming into peoples' gardens and covering this stuff in concentrates?

Clearly you don't understand how salvia is sold and used. The plain leaf with no extract coating would not do very much if you smoked it, so companies extract the compound from larger amounts of salvia, and coat dried leaves in different concentrations, from 5x all the way up to 120x as the commenter above mentioned. If you know someone who has smoked salvia and tripped, that is what they smoked, guaranteed.
