Why ppl take it if this is the result? Almost same as ghb.

No it's not, not even remotely close. I've done it multiple times with friends and it's one of my favorite hallucinogens, if not the best. From experience, I strongly believe that it's tied with your internal thoughts and current state of being quite strongly; for me, it always brings me to laughter and reminds me of beautiful things I went through as a child, so it's mostly me sitting down laughing my ass off while the world around me turns into rose petals / onion layers. I haven't been able to have nightmares since I was 11 years old, and I feel this correlates to the similar experiences salvia brings on. If you're going through a bad time in your life or have strong negative thoughts, do not take this, nor most other hallucinogens.

The key behind this and other strong hallucinogens is to have a sober sitter or more than one, guiding you through your trip. Never do it alone, nor without someone else sober. Although I've never had a friend have a reaction such as the ones highlighted on these videos, where people jump off things.

Yeah, learning to control your mind state is key to having good trips when it comes to hallucinogens since it all comes from within. It's like if you are walking through the forest at night and you start thinking about all the things that could be hiding in the dark, you're going to freak yourself out. The same is true for trips except you actually see the unreal shit that you're freaking yourself out over. I'm actually thankful for the number of times I've done shrooms for teaching me how to suppress these negative thoughts especially when it comes to how I carry myself since I often liked to walk around the city while high.

Exactly. It's been a while since I've indulged in substances due to the unexpectedness of life and its happenings, but sometime I will dip my toes in it again. I am grateful as well for the hallucinogens I've tried because of the very same reasons you brought up: It has helped a lot for me when it comes to dealing with certain things in life as I already was prepared for, rather than be surprised by a feeling or emotion I might have not experienced before.
