I don't know how to have "positive" experiences with salvia. I never have. Over the couse of the past couple years I've done probably 10 grams of salvia 10x-20x, all standardized. Every single time that I "break through" it scares the living balls out of me and afterwards I end up laughing because it was so simultaneously wonderful and intense.

I've never figured out salvia to the point where I can just ride it out and have a cool time, unless I don't plan on breaking through. Any time I break through, there is at least 20 seconds of extreme terror. I've just learned to accept the extreme terror. It just takes me that 20 seconds to a few minutes to figure out that I'm Ernie, and that I just inhaled a couple big tokes of a scary but wonderful drug.
