I think im trying peyote for my first time this weekend. Whats it like? What kind of personality does the spirit of this plant have?
Just try to be open minded, respectful, and humble. Try to embrace the taste. It's bitter but don't recoil from it, pretend it's sweet. Don't worry about nausea you may or may not feel it. It's a gentle and warm experience usually, although Peyote is a great teacher. It helps to be somewhere in nature or a place you can connect to spirit in a way that is close to your heart. Eat as much as you can.
I personally have never tried peyote but with all psychedelics I dont go into the experience with any expectations. I take it for what it is, I try to embrace every moment of it. Give it respect and it will return the favor
thanks for the advice guys, im feeling pretty good about this. Whats kinda weird is that i have never really taken any intrest in peyote, it was almost like it brought itself into my life. My mom bought a book for me by Carlos Casteneda, The Teachings of Don Juan, A Yaqui Way of Knowledge. I knew it was about a shaman but i didnt know it was about peyote. I got a little ways into the second chapter, hes talking about his first peyote experience and at this point i am getting very interested. I thougt to myself, this sounds pretty cool, id like to try it. About 10 minutes after that thought ran through my head i got a message from a buddy offering me some cacti. I dont think thats coincidence, i think its pretty obvious that Mescalito has something to tell me.
Yeah, can't really put a finger on it, it's your own spiritual journey. In my personal experience, after taking the cactus, I get that feeling you get before the LSD or mushrooms you took kick in. Sort of like a placebo effect. At first I was anticipating that sort of trip, similar to tryptamines. I was very wrong. After about an hour or so, I became extremely sleepy. After a while of this sleepyness, I felt completely awake and sober. I began to wonder what was going on, but I hadn't realized I was already tripping. It's almost like coming to reality and opening a third eye of sorts, instead of having a drug experience. Really spiritual. So spiritual that I didn't question any of the hallucinations, and everything made sense and was destined to happen so there was no need for surprise about it. That's just a small taste of what experience I had. Have your own experience and then you'll know for yourself Enjoy, and happy munching!
