Tried Mescaline for the first time three days ago and I feel like I haven't come back yet

Cooked up some San Pedro and drank that shit down, but I did it right and never had to purge. I felt like I lived a dream for a day and I couldn't tell what was real or not. I've taken plenty of shroom and LSD, but this time I felt like I was being introduced to another reality. The best way to describe it is like my whole life I've been living listening to AM radio, but the cactus showed me I have the ability to tune to an FM station whenever I want.

I smoked a lot of weed while tripping and now when I smoke it transports me somewhere. I have visuals that I both see and feel.

Mesc is by far the best drug I've ever done, I'm just not sure if I've even come down yet. I still feel like I'm dreaming.

Take a break from smoking weed for a while. You will be fine.

That’s the thing, though. It’s actually kinda great. I just feel like I’ve discovered something I don’t understand.

That's a dangerous mindset when trying new psychs. Let yourself come down. Don't abuse the magic.

He's right though. After having access to the best tabs at a top price, it wasn't long before I was barely waiting for a tolerance and doing way too many. While not detrimental to my life it was scary to see how quick responsible use rolled into abuse as I'd always considered myself to have the required self control. Definitely time for a long break from that.

Right? And people here are always touting psychs aren’t addictive (many claim they’re the opposite LOL) and can’t be abused. In my experience, the tolerance duration people throw around is totally inaccurate. I can and did trip 1-2 times a week for 6+ months and I can assure you I still tripped pretty damn hard. They of course aren’t as abusable as most other drugs, but to try to say they can’t be abused or addicting is just flat out wrong.

Yeah, psychosis...

Where is the line between a drug's effects and your own mental illnesses?

If you still can’t tell what’s real and what’s not, you have psychosis

Did you just assume my mental ilness? Drugs are bad I just like reading these posts.

Psychosis isn't even a big deal I believe, scarier is HPPD and having your crisp vision permanently damaged into a sea of visual snow and random shapes, never again will you look at the trees again, or the starry sky, it'll be contaminated forever.

San pedro / mescaline (I've only done it in San Pedro form) is my favorite too. It's much more "peaceful" with its trip than the others.

Can i ask what method you used for no nausea? I have to limit my San Pedro use because of how violently ill it makes me.

SomePolackOP•

I took a 3 second or so rip from my dab pen after waking up, I didn’t eat anything at all, and I mixed the juice into three separate OJ smoothies which I drank over an hour. Later on, I took very small bong rips/the leftover milk from my friends when feeling nauseous or uncomfortable.

That sounds amazing. Tryptamines and lysergamides (tryptamine derivatives) seem too intense for me, not so much a high as a roller coaster. I would love to try a peaceful psychedelic.

If LSD is a rollercoaster then this is like a walk in the woods with your grandpa.

I’m so curious to try Mescaline

SomePolackOP•

IMO it's the best psych and very mild in terms of impairment.

thats because you didn’t go high enough :) a good dose feels like breaking through on DMT for 12 straight hours. but without the edgyness of LSD or shrooms. 10/10 would add more ketamine 👌🏻

Thesungod1969•

You mean a good dose of cactus + ketamine

damn, I don’t think I could add ket on top of such a nauseating substance

I got a box of san pedro sitting in my room, and no idea what to do with it.

Verify that it really is San Pedro before you eat it though. Some things sold as it which are not.

I would plant a cutting for later usage. It would suck if you had a potent cacti and didn't save a little to propagate more for later.

SomePolackOP•

I listened to lots of music and tried to draw the things I was experiencing/felt. I also went hiking. Nature is crazy cool. Don't eat it, though.

That's what happened to me with lsd. I took lsd for the first time and smoked a bunch of weed on the peak and come down and entered some other world.

Now whenever I smoke a lot of weed I enter this wierd state/world where I'm competely disconnected from my body and I can observe my consciousness in some other realm

What was your dose?

1
SomePolackOP•

In total, I consumed the byproduct of a one and a half foot clipping. The dosage could have been anywhere between 300-500 mg. I will say that my method was the first attempt and there are definitely many ways to get a cleaner/purer result.

1
thesanmich•

How safe is it to make and consume this? I heard somewhere here it can be harsh on the body?

1
Tridentic1•

IIRC mescaline is fine, it's the other alkaloids in cactus that can make you have other unwanted side effects

1
thesanmich•

But its impossible to avoid said alkaloids during the making of it? Or is there a way to filter it out?

1
SomePolackOP•

You can put on ur goggles and gloves and become a chemist to use some tek. I know there are ways that you can use other chemicals such as hydrochloric acid to remove the other alkaloids. That's difficult, though.

It's mostly tough on the body due to the nausea and stomach cramps it gives you. It tastes so bad many people can't even drink it down. Other than that, I think the other alkaloids just gave me different sort of highs. I felt very stoned, then stimmed out, then stoned again, etc... during the first four hours of coming up. After that, it transitioned to a much cleaner LSD-like high.

You’ll be okay but I’d recommend taking a break from marijuana and other drugs for a bit so that your brain can heal. My last acid trip definitely left me with some neuronal damage and HPPD since it was a very intense trip. I would see fractals in lights, patterned surfaces moved slightly and I was disassociated for a bit, but eventually it went away. Psychedelics are very powerful substances that do have a major impact on your brain and it’s function, which is why it’s recommended to space out usage. However, it won’t last forever. I don’t trip anymore, but after 6 months or so (from my last acid trip) most of the side effects went away. I still see slight undulations in patterns when I’m very anxious or have a high heart rate, but they are very mild. Just take a break for a bit and you’ll be good.

LSD cannot cause any “neuronal damage” and if it does then please prove me wrong and send a source.

2
Bubs_the_Canadian•

I said neuronal damage mainly because I don’t know what mechanism causes HPPD in people after they use LSD. LSD can cause damage to DNA at doses far larger than a human would consume, but that’s all the research I’ve found. The cause of HPPD isn’t well known, but it does most often occur after LSD use. I just kind of guessed when I said neuronal damage because I can’t think of another neurological mechanism that would lead to HPPD.

Chrislovesfish•

Well the brain works on an entirely physiological level. So if your experiencing a change in everyday perception such as hppd due to drug use then the structure of your brain has changed.

Your claim doesn't need any scientific backup, its well know LSD and other phycadelics can act as the trigger for major structural changes leading to HPPD, Detachment disorders and schizophrenia.

For anyone to say LSD, Psyilocibe, DMT etc.. Does not cause any changes is purely Ill educated or just repeating all the pro drug rhetoric you hear on these forums.

1
Bubs_the_Canadian•

Exactly, that was the point I was making when I said neuronal damage. There may not be any concrete evidence of how exactly these drugs are affecting the structure, function and neurotransmitter activity of the brain, but they no doubt do.

People denying that fact or saying that these drugs are 100% safe is one of my pet peeves on these forums. Especially when they are promoting usage in an unsafe way. Psychedelics are very powerful drugs and shouldn’t be used lightly, in my opinion.

drewc0213•

Well stop “just guessing” and spreading misinformation. You could have just said you suffer from HPPD without saying neuronal damage. It just bothers me when people spread around untrue stuff.

Bubs_the_Canadian•

I totally get that man. I’m a man of science myself and misinformation irritates me too. My bad on that. I just don’t know how else HPPD could happen unless there is something within the neurons of the brain that is being affected. Even though drugs like LSD, marijuana and psilocybin have minimal negative side effects doesn’t mean they can’t be dangerous or aren’t for everyone. Marijuana abuse in adolescents has been shown to reduce overall grey matter and neuronal connectivity in the brain. You’re right, I shouldn’t spread misinformation but I also don’t want to pretend like there isn’t any issues with these drugs. I’ll be more careful with my words in the future.

It is damage if it is detrimental and not meant to be naturally.

Anyone know how long dried San Pedro lasts?

I’ve been holding on to some for over a a year, don’t want to brew and drink that nasty stuff for no reason!

Please share your method and how many inches of cactus you took. Not too many reports of this.

1
SomePolackOP•

I posted it somewhere else in here, but I followed the standard procedure. I had a 15 inch clipping that I diced up and blended with water. Then I boiled that mixture for hours until it had been reduced. At that point I strained the mixture through a shirt and discarded the plant material leftover. That’s the gist of it. Overall, the process was incredibly easy and I only boiled it for seven hours. The next time I plan on boiling for far longer, as well as doing a few washings, and reducing the mixture. I didn’t even drink my whole product on this last trip, I let the solid material separate after cooling in the fridge and skimmed the top.

As amazing as that sounds, it also sounds like walking on a razor's edge, if I were you I'd step down the mountain for a while, because as much as we like to sit on a cliff to watch the sunset, if we try to live like at the edge of the cliff our whole lives we are gonna fall at some point.

1
SomePolackOP•

That’s a fair metaphor. Once you become accustomed to sitting on that cliff though, it is hard to want to climb back down the mountain. I agree, though, many of the comments in here are telling me to calm down that’s probably a sign that I should listen.

Of course, ever been on some amazing vacation and suddenly you think about going back to normal life and it makes you shudder? But vacation for too long and you are no longer vacationing, you are being lazy, no matter how amazing the trip. Okay I'll chill with the metaphors but I feel this. I had 3 acid trips in 2 weeks with my S/O while traveling and now it's over but I was so overwhelmed by the experience that it is hard to not think about it and not want to trip ten more times as soon as the tolerance drops, which worries me because it feels obsessive and gives me a general feeling of uneasiness that I don't think should be ignored. I think my behavior is walking the line between innocent passion and obsession, and obsession can easily make you(me) forget your(my) priorities and make you(me) lose control of the life that you(I) have worked hard for. I think I need to ground myself, or at least prove to myself that I am still capable and sane enough to do what's important to me. In this case that is being responsible, and being in uni I am being more responsible than usual because I think I need to know and prove it to myself, and although it sounds bad (not sure it's a bad thing), part of the motivation comes from knowing that the faster I prove it to myself the sooner I'll be able to visit other dimensions again. I always thought ppl exaggerated how acid teaches you things but in a way I think I'm learning a lesson.

Sorry this turned out longer than I thought haha.

I took a gram of synthetic mescaline years ago and I haven't felt the same since.
