Usually people who don't know anything about it and its effects result in a bad trip since you are taken by such a suprise.

Do some reading on erowid.com so you are mentally prepared for Salvia's potential.

Enviornment is everything. I am probably one of the few to disagree with using a sitter. A sitter usually results in one or more people laughing at the person who just hit the salvia acting weird, and this leads to anxiety which can result in a bad trip. Just make sure you are extremely relaxed. Toke up a little bit before if you must. I usually take a few bong hits in order to relax myself before smoking the salvia, and usually lay on my bed after exhaling.
