As for good or bad, I'll quote Neale Donald Walsch: "A thing is only right or wrong because you say it is. A thing is not right or wrong intrinsically." - Substitute in "good" and "bad."
As for the usefulness of drugs, I'd say they can be of help if you choose for them to be. Personally, I don't take drugs any more because I used them as an escape from the pain of my reality and as a crutch for fun, like turtledude said. I did have quite a few good spiritual experiences on them though
As for salvia, I'd also advise a bit of caution. 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!
