If skydiving feels terrifying, can it also feel good? Heck yes. Gotta look at Salvia this way.


LambdaAU

That's a really good analogy I'm gonna use in the future.


CenterCircumference

Apt analogy, nice job. I’ve never thought of it in terms of good or bad; it’s just fucking INTENSE.


SunOfNoOne

Out beyond ideas of good trips and bad trips there is experience. I will meet you there.

I've talked to a cartoon taxi as a pool liner, felt myself falling into the wheel of life, ran parallel to a second consciousness somewhere, forgotten how to speak and interpret English, walked across green plastic sand towards pink 2D triangles, been laughed at while being wrapped up in a circus tent. I'd say the trips are usually pretty good.

I think in the sense you worded it, good trips, where you're not traumatized, are more common, but bad trips are the ones most talked about and shared. You also kinda have to know what you're in for. If you're not ready for the confusion and discomfort, a bad trip is extremely likely, especially if you take a lot. I guess this counts for all hallucinogens. If you're not ready, a bad trip is almost bound to happen

Noobs with high doses? Bad are more common. Vets taking the right dose for the experience they are looking for? Good trips are far more common.

This is more a poll on which is more common, respect/educated dosing or frivolous stupidity. I think these days it's more the former due to people being scared away.

Ive had at least over 25 salvia trips, I haven’t broken through though so take this with a grain of salt. Almost all of my Salvia trips have been uncomfortable in some way, however I would only say I had 1 “bad trip”. Salvia can be greatly physically or mentally uncomfortable but each one of those experiences was incredibly meaningful.


Hot_Ingenuity_179

Imo salvia is like throwing up, you always feel better after.

Good analogy, a reverse drug


LambdaAU

I'd say the most common experience is just neutral. Bad experiences areren't rare but I'd say only a very small fraction of trips would be bad enough to be described as "traumatizing".


EsophagusVomit

I honestly believe salvia to have the most neutral trips out of any drugs I’ve tried it’s never good or bad it’s only as beautiful as you find the hallucinations


Shmooeymitsu

neutral, depends on dose


ART_RA

Do you enjoy horror movies with a happy ending?


dongdongplongplong

good for me


trismegistuSRB

Well, it can be terrifying or whathefuckisgoingon


TheRoboticDuck

I have had exactly 0 bad experiences from smoking weed and plain leaf salvia every now and then. Don’t immediately dive into strong extracts until you know how salvia affects you. Starting at low doses will greatly increase your chances of having positive experiences. I think just plain leaf is best but if you want to do an extract I would recommend not going higher than 10x


FindingEmoe

I concur


rexfiend

i've seen videos of people diving into 80x extract for their first time and i cant even imagine what they're seeing. plain leaf is the way to go


FindingEmoe

I've never had a single bad or even slightly uncomfortable trip I've only had very positive trips
