My only salvia experiences have been "low dose" experienced with just the enriched leaf (not quite as powerful as extracts, but much stronger than straight leaf) - the first one was kind of unpleasant, but just because of a massive amount of confusion. the other 4-5 were pretty "enjoyable" - intense, but not blasted off.
my suggestion if you're going for a low dose is do it somewhere you can zone out and just take in the experience without distractions. my last and best trip I felt like I was buried up to my chin in sand in the desert, looking out over pyramids and a long road. (I was looking out the window, as things faded away I noticed the pyramid was my pillow lol)
