Did you dry it out first?
Capsules and smoking work as well, but the smoke tastes like shit.

Yes i alway let it wilt in the sun.. And yes ive smoked etc.. but everytime i make the tea it turns out thick and i dont know why.. I'm sure it has to do with the microbial growth but i am not sure if this is healthy (-_-)

in this thread u said u had luck with the tea
http://www.shaman-australis.com/~auxin/heimia.html
heres a good link to info on alkaloidal content of varying ages and maturity of the heimia sp.
fresh leaf from a mature (woody) plant is best, though ive had similar luck with younger specimens.
explain how your making the tea.
boiling the leafs in water? steeping in warm water?
ive had most of my luck from sticking the wilted leaf in a closed glass mason jar half-full of cool water and sticking it in a very sunny area for a few days. the heat of the sun brews it up, and eventually the tea is dark yellowish with a hint of brown or orange sometimes, and isnt as thick as you describe.

I simply wilt the leaves no boiling of water involved- though sometimes hot/warm, then put in sun for a day

are the leaves off a homegrown plant of yours? how old is it? how big is it? how big are the leafs? are they somewhat thick?
you might consider trying again after a year or two of plant maturity.
are you using a different plant this time than in the other thread where u had luck with it?
try leaving the wilted/jar/water in the sun for 3 days minimum, and maybe add more water to it next time as what u added before might not be enough to keep it fluid.
