It's all about the dose!
Sublingual can be just as dissociative - perhaps even more - than smoking. Sublingual can give a much longer experience, and so there's a lot more time spent in that space (30-45+ minutes compared to 5-10).
What makes you say that most people find dissociatives uncomfortable?
Consider ketamine - a powerful dissociative that has widespread recreational use.
When used in a therapeutic, safe setting, the dissociative properties of medicines like salvia, ketamine, iboga, and 5-MeO-DMT are used to facilitate profound personal healing and transformation. These experiences are not necessarily pleasant, and that's also not the point. I'm most familiar with usage in this context, where the aspect of "enjoyment" is essentially orthogonal to the reason for consumption.
In fact, consciously exploring any discomfort that arises is what can facilitate efficacy.
- filoeleven 5y ago> What makes you say that most people find dissociatives uncomfortable? Anecdotal evidence from people who have tried them, as well as reading lots of experience reports. It’s hard to discern from all of that who/how many were taking them therapeutically vs recreationally. Your grain of salt is quite justified.
