water curing salvia?

i recently came across this while doing research on curing ganja, and it seems like it would be a good idea
salvinorin isnt soluble in water, so water curing should make it much easier to get a good dose off plain leaves, and make cleaner extracts right?
the process: plant material is completely submerged in water (reverse osmosis purified is best)
you let it sit for about a week, changing the water daily at the least, more water changing is better
the chlorophyll and sugars (which burn hot and harsh) are broken down and removed by replacing the water
the leaf material is then dried rapidly (food dehydrator is best)
so this could reduce the harshness, allowing you to hold it in longer, and reduce the taste (which is a minus for weed, but a plus for salvia)
any opinions on this

with such a water process you will lose 15 to 30 per cent since some of the salvinorin is loose on the leaf bottom trichome structures. best use acetone extraction process with naphtha wash.
an alternative is to dry the leaves flat, and then wash the bottoms of the leaves individually with acetone in a shallow bowl rubbing with fingers, and pouring off then take the next leaf.
reserve the acetone bottom wiped leaves for re-extraction.

huh? i dont understand what youre saying
the salvinorin isnt water soluble, so very little should be lost if you dont agitate the leaves in the water

The active chemical salvinorin is in trichomes on the cottom of the leaves, much like thc is stored in herb buds. Regardless of how soluble some of it is going to wash off in the water.

ya, but in buds, the water doesnt break off the trichomes, in fact, water curing makes it more potent by weight because it gets the other crap and leaves the thc
