Make sure to have optimal set and setting and a good friend, relative, mate, etc near you to spot you and possibly guide you on the trip (if you even stay in this reality for it!). Mushrooms are pretty handle-able, I've even found LSD isn't too hard to navigate, though for all drugs the advice I said earlier applies. Set, setting, and good friends!
As I stated in the other thread, I've experienced LSD and mushrooms. No matter how intense the trip was, I still knew I was me. From what I understand about Salvia, it is a disassociative drug, meaning that the person loses sense of his/her own identity. I've read stories of people who found themselves stranded in a black void, with no way to return, and sometimes surrounded by entities.
This sure sounds to me like a great way for STS entities to derail an STO entity, and maybe even disconnect them from this lifetime.
Apparently, Salvia is very popular among teens, and legal. The impression is that it's relatively safe, since it only lasts 10 minutes or so.
But from a metaphysical/spiritual perspective, it sounds to me like the most dangerous drug I've ever heard of.
Linear time is irrelevant in such a state.
Again, I have no experience with it, but what I read I found very scary.
