I have broken through on DMT but I don't think I've ever broken through on salvia.

I promise you salvia is weirder.

Firstly DMT is a serotonergic psychedelic. It acts on the same receptors as psilocybin and (if I'm not mistaken) LSD. It's euphoric, your body may freak out because it thinks it's dying as it separates from your consciousness temporarily, but ultimately you still physically feel good when you are aware of your physical being.

Salvia is an atypical hallucinogen. It's generally not considered a proper (or at least classic) psychedelic like DMT, shrooms, mescaline, LSD, etc, or even newer substances like 2C-B. It's also not considered a deliriant like datura or DPH. It is a secret third thing. It's a hallucinogenic compound which acts on opioid receptors but is entirely non-addictive. It allegedly has a reverse tolerance, meaning the more you use it over time, the more it hits you. I've heard it described as "dysphoric", so opposite of euphoric, but I would strongly disagree with that - it doesn't feel bad. I'd almost want to call it "aphoric", which isn't a real word lol so may not be linguistically correct, but essentially it doesn't feel, period. You don't feel like you have a body.

DMT feels like you're leaving your body but your consciousness remains a distinct vessel that is sort of witnessing the grandeur of reality's architecture (at least at the dose I experienced); salvia feels like your consciousness is dissolving into the world around you along with your body.

And I haven't even properly broken through! I've felt immobile and had full-on hallucinations but I still don't feel it was a real breakthrough. And I'm not particularly in a rush to do so either, even though I have plenty of salvia on hand lol
