i have longed to do shrooms for about a year now. because they are so incredibly hard to find, i was thinking i may need to give up and find something else. i am interested in mescaline but would like to know how it compares to shrooms? are the visuals stronger or weaker, and does it give you as much of a mindfuck? i am a complete noob to cactus. also, what is the easiest way to prepare a san pedro cactus, could you provide a link to your favorite technique?
it depends... mescalines one of those drugs that you can take quite a bit of and still be able to hold yourself together. In my opinion I find mescaline to be like shrooms but without the complete mindfuck that goes along with mushies. I can hold intelligent conversations and be around people without them knowing that I'm fucked up. Quite amusing. Theres alotta ways to prepare it. If your gonna extract- ancient powers extraction tech is stickied at the top of the forum. I'm usually too lazy so I usually just boil it with lemon juice an water and drink that( after straining the goop of course)
shrooms make you more spacey & stupid with mild visuals (dose dependant) mescalines definitely the way to go. better visuals no mental fog, usually easier to have a spiritual trip with
I have found Cacti and Mushrooms to be very different psychedelics, both visually and mentaly. I find the headspace of Mescaline to be a bit confusing. Decisions are hard to make and generally feel a bit 'out of it, I once went a whole mescaline trip without speaking at all, even though I was with other trippers. But I dont think its a chemical I would 'freak out' on, not as much as LSD or Mushrooms. There is a definite heavy body feeling and a light sedation of the come-up.Visually I would compare Mescaline to a low dose of LSD. Lots of spirals and fiery patterns, but nothing too intense. Shrooms are quite a bit different. I can think rationaly and hold a conversation. The colours glow more vividly and my limbs turn to jelly. I find shrooms visuals very distinct, more lucid and wavey and sometimes what appears to be a mesh infront of my vision (hard to explain) In terms of preparation. Freeze the cacti- defrost it and blender it. Boil lightly (simmer) for at least 5 hours with the juice of 3 lemons per estimated dose. Strain and drink.
the mescaline experience is somewhere in between mushrooms and acid. its visuals are very clear and vibrant and can be similar characteristics of shrooms, breathing, melting, growing, shrinking, rotating, light change, etc. the mindset can be that of deep introspection, but sometimes you waver in and out of the trip, going in cycles of different thought pattens. if you enjoy mushrooms then it is worth a try.
i usually just simmer it for about 3 hours, too lazy to keep boiling. i also usually mash it with something blunt while its boiling-to squeeze out juices.
