curious about salvia

out of the people i've talked to, it seems 9 out of 10 did not enjoy their salvia experiences (and these are people who enjoy other psychedelics). it's the only commonly used psychedelic i haven't had the opportunity to try and i'm curious to why it seems to be so unpopular. there seems to be a long list of salvia enthusiasts here so maybe there's some wise ideas to be shared.
as a sidenote, i do have a couple of buddies who tried salvia before and after their DMT trips and their understanding of the salvia journey seemed to become way broader afterwards.

Most people, including novice psychonauts, are not ready for what salvia can do.
Recreationally, it is just too hard, too fast, too soon, for a number of people.
If you know what to expect, it can be amazing.

You aren't supposed to 'enjoy' salvia like you 'enjoy' weed. If you're doing it, then you probably do derive some satisfaction out of the intense experiences psychedelics can provide. But if you do it right, Salvia probably isn't going to be 'fun.' Rarely do people break through on Salvia, then say "I CAN'T WAIT TO DO THAT AGAIN!"
Salvia's an intense spiritual tool, I can't imagine anything that powerful actually being "fun."

I don't know about that. I kinda enjoy having my soul sucked out of my body and then folded a billion times as it travels through 100,000 universes and finally conflagrates as it meets the Logos that gives purpose to us.
I could be weird though.

Hahaha well when you put it that way.
I know what you mean. I do enjoy salvia, but not in the "i enjoy candy" sort of way, more like the "i enjoy running 15 miles" sort of way. It's not actually "fun," but I personally wouldn't trade it for the world.

Only in the fact that they are short acting psychedelics. DMT > Salvia imo.
