I just started reading some of aldous huxley's works and it got me really interested in Mescaline, something which isn't all that available around me so I was hoping you guys could share some experiences with the drug. Erowid does have a good collection of stories as well.
I've eaten Peyote before (active ingredient is Mescaline) and the effect is comparable to an incredibly strong body high which you might get off some great Kush. Mentally, it is a very floaty drug and will probably put you in a meditative daze for several hours which will allow you to explore your consciousness thoroughly. Peyote doesn't really have any hallucinatory or visual field effects though "mind visions" are not uncommon, personally, I've never had one of these while using peyote but that doesn't mean it can't happen. It should also be noted that if you eat Peyote (six or seven buttons should do you) you probably shouldn't try to do anything which requires moving around or any sort of coordination as Mescaline makes these things impossible. It should also be noted that Peyote and therefore Mescaline are not really social drugs and are best used in solitude and contemplation. The last time I used Peyote multiple people came into the room and tried to talk to me over a period of several hours and I didn't even notice they were there so it is definitely not something to use to try and get fucked up with your friends.
One night, I had gotten a hold of Peruvian Torch powder from Compras Peru, which contains mescaline. I mixed the powder with a little bit of water and made a thick paste and gulped the bits down. Tasted like SHIT! lol Well anyway, I got called into work that night so I took the bus towards my job. Its hard to describe what I felt like because its unlike any drug I have taken. The bus ride there was something else, felt pretty funny. We cruised through some projects and stared at people starring at me. I got there and I was flippin burgers and whenever I would look at the meat cook and I would picture holes in the patty that turned into spider eyes, its weird lol. Sounds were different too, the buzzer was annoying the hell out of me. Everything was hell now that I remember. Everything was totally different. I was still high when I got off work. I that wasn't the best setting to dose in but I needed to be there given the circumstances.
I had mescaline, the synthetic kind in a tab. It was very physical, and visual -frightening at times. It was considerably more hallucinatory than any acid I ever did. There's a part in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas where they're tripping in a casino and the people all looked really fucked up, like otherworldly creatures. It’s a good depiction of what mescaline is like, which is what I think they were on in that scene.
It might be a delirient. If it's anything thing like like bena-trip, then its not too bad. All I saw was rabbits and ducks.
Sweet, thanks for the info. How long on average would you guys say you were tripping for? I just started reading Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception and became pretty interested in it, unfortunately I've never even heard of Mescaline being available around my province.
I took synthetic mescaline when I was in my mid-teens, a lifetime ago. It lasted all night - alone, with no weed, or anything else. The synthesized stuff's been around a long time, maybe a hundred years or more. I think that cubist, and other, artists were doing it in prior to the 1920's. Some early animated theatrical cartoons (Betty Boop, etc.) smack of mescaline influence, but that's just my opinion.
i drank some San Pedro slime (fucking NASTY!!!) i started tripping 2 hours latter, i was soooo sick from it! But it's SO worth it. San Pedro is completely legal to posess, i actually got my cutting from my school's arboretum, oh the irony! I'm also planning on buying san pedro from wal-mart so i can grow it myself, you get 3 nice sized cacti for $25, not so bad For me it was like everything is filled with water, it was a pretty small amount (only like less than a half of an 10 inch cutting, i guess it was potent) but it made me trip for like 8 hours. It was pretty awesome i could barely stand up for the first couple of hours, i think a lot of that was the crazy nausea i had. Maybe next time i might smoke some weed before so i don't get as nauseous, since it's like 2 hours of sick without any trip :/ I walked around my apartment complex just being one with nature (my apartments have all kinds of trees and flowers, really nice!) just like totally in a crazy trance, it felt like i wasn't blinking. I stared at the ceiling listening to Led Zeppelin for the longest time just watching it move and picking out the pictures that the stucco made. It's like the ceiling is doing this crazy ass belly dance. The first time i tried preparing San Pedro i followed one guide that said to boil it down DON'T DO THAT!!! it was a full 12" cutting that i boiled down and the affects weren't twice as good as it was the second time when i just used the half of a 10" inch and it blew my mind. The second time i took the skin off (takes a long time) just froze the cactus for a long time until it was hard as a rock, i blended that up with some water and strained the goop for a long time until the remaining mush was pretty dry and drank the slime with a straw, it was fucking NASTY!!! But with the straw you don't get as much on your tongue so it's bareable. If you do this hopefully you won't get as sick as i did. I'm planning on doing some with my friend after school is over. Maybe since it's his first time i can have more of the cactus than him. It's like a 13" cutting that's 3.5" in diameter, pretty nice size. I've had it sitting in the dark under some shelving, which i heard can up the alkaloid content, so hopefully this cutting will prove to be super potent. Wow! that was kind of long, hope this helps you or anyone else thinking about doing mescaline, it's a very pleasant experience (except for the nausea)
