I'm just curious about the other thread about Mescaline that was locked.
I didn't hear anyone say they'd tried it. I have.
It was okay. Sort of a low grade acid if you eat it in it's traditional form, which is a peyote "button" off a small cactus. The type that grow in places like Arizona. You can make it up in a tea that isn't very tasty.
Natives in Northern Mexico and the Sothern U.S. use it as part of their religious rites and for medicine. It's a mindtrip if you do it right. Compared to acid, I'd say it's less dangerous but, that's like saying a knife is less dangerous than a gun. It depends on the situation.
Good Mexican Tequila has a worm in the bottom that gathers the Mescaline from the Tequila. It's considered an honor of sorts to get it, which means you get to eat a bug. Mexican Border towns are the place to find bottles with worms in them. Do a little research on brand names before buying anything because there are differences. Buy several bottles and go camping.
Just like cannabis, this is something you
ingest and may take a long time for the full effect. It's extremely important that you NOT overdose the first time, but this is what everyone does, so what advice can I give?
After drinking the tea, chewing a button, or eating a worm, only do 2 Tequila shots and then switch to weak beer until things kick in. Then sit back and watch the stars if possible. The shots will get you high and "stoned" in a comfortable way if you're used to drinking. Is this good medical advice... well... you decide. Mixing drugs of any type is a crapshoot, but there'd be a lot of dead Mexicans if you died from doing Mescaline and Tequila. The mistake most people make here is they drink enough booze to make them sick and then they get stoned while they're sick. Controlled use is the keypoint here.
Injest the drug only ONCE in a 24 hour period the first couple times you do it. People expect results too quick so they take another dose after an hour. Several hours later they're overdosing in the bathroom under the shower or getting stoned for a full day at a time. It's not a nice feeling when you can't "stop it" from happening.
I would class this as an occasional use only drug. Go camping with some friends and keep one person straight, in case you need to do something like drive a car or put out the fire. Expect at least one person to wander away from camp and get lost, so camp when the weather is warmer.
Only do the drug with people you know and trust the first few times. Just like alcohol, drugs like Mescaline can make people act crazy. The natives did some interesting things like pulling their skin off while on this stuff, so it's all be done before. No need to go mountain climbing or anything like that. Leave the handguns at home.
I don't do this stuff anymore, but I'd suggest everyone try it at least once just to say they did. Or at least, so they can give decent advice.
So there!
