my friend had some capsules of an unknown yellow crystallic psychedelic powder in a bag with a few seperated lsd microdots as well. he didn't get them himself ( I guess someone left them on his table because they didn't want to take them on a plane) and he said it was supposed to be mescaline. luckily this dude has reagent kits and we tested this mystery substance under all of them...it wasn't really giving a positive reading for anything in particular, all we knew is it wasn't MDMA, psilocybin, or any of the classic results on the sheets. dont think it showed positive for mescaline either. the only thing that it matched too across the board on all 3 or 4 reagent tests was Methylone... but it was more so like a process of elimination type matchup rather than blatant. we just went with it. now this is a very silly move as the reagent kits give the impression of black and white "if its yellow its this, if its red its this" when really there is a whole spectrum of different chemicals it could be wether analogues or etc. I've even heard of fake lsd with lysergamides in it that still tested positive or rather still shone under fluorescent light.

fast forward, week later, bored and decide to take the "methylone". the doses seemed about on point with what methylone doses, should be in the triple digit mg range per cap, but we didn't have a scale which particularly bothered me as knowing exactly what mg the capsules were would have really help narrow down the chemical... but each cap seemed to have roughly 200-300mg.. they were stuffed pretty fat

as we take the substance, expecting a cathinone /stimulant high , quick 30 -45 minute onset, about 3-4 hours of stimulation and slight serotonin up regulation, and a calm come down and night.....what we got was a little different ! lol....

once the hour mark hits, I start thinking that it was completely bunk and we weren't going to feel anything, about an hour and thirty minutes go by, an I'm starting to wonder "what in the fuck did I take ? " almost considering going home. I look at my friend at the 2 hour mark and say dude, either we took something with zero psychoactive effects, or we are in for a LONNGGGGGG night... well you guessed it just around the 2 hour 30 mark I start feeling heavy waves of warm stimulation. I couldn't make it out just yet but I definitely felt effect start to take, at this point I knew this wasn't a regular stimulant. for the first 30 or so minutes before the real psychedelic effects kicked in , it actually almost fooled me as a empathogen. if itwasnt for the multi hour come up I would have been fooled momentarily. very warm body buzz, overall mental clarity, and I even got really INCREDIBLY horny for a good 20-30 minutes.


at 3 hours my eyes are (finally) wide as saucers and I start having intense hallucinations, with a psychedelic mind set (albeit lighter than the classic tryptamine, still potent enough for me to realize it was indeed a psychedelic and not bk-mdma or the likes, much more introspective presence.. ). based on my limited personal experience, the closest in effect to this was definitely mescaline in effect, visual patterns, physical feel and intensity ( which I've only done once, in San Pedro form). also had some 2cX vibes. at times the headspace was very forgiving and chemically analgesic seeming like the 2cs.it def looked like 2ci in color and the effects match but that come up time throws me off.

was a little uneasy for a while because I was had no idea what the fuck I was in for, from DOx family to Nbomes to 2c's,, I had NO idea what I was on and my mind was racing, and it took a good hour or so to really gauge the situation.

once I got comfortable and laid down, I had AMAZING closed eye visuals... like AMAZING.very unlike regular lsd and psilocybin or even dmt visuals, incredibly profound and euphoric but much simpler in geometric pattern and morphology. a lot less personal too. a lot of circles and colors, almost like I was under water with air bubbles billowing up in front of me.

the open eye visuals were subtle but strong. things weren't warping physically like on lsd and etc, but rather the field of vision itself would fade in and out. my VISION would fade in and out from what my eyes were seeing to my imaginations and inner visions, it was almost like I was nodding out. in fact I kind of was. corners started fading as walls and ceilings became one, things faded to black, sizes and proportions started shifting, walls looked huge I looked tiny etc. nothing was directly altered but whatever I focused on changed color, proportion and was fluid in movement. felt like lsd headspace induced with ketamine analgesia and slight anxiolytic effect (although I did have couple lapses of reason in panic, nothing like lsd or mushroom panic though ). everything was incredibly SMOOTH....my body felt one, transitions from thought to thought was incredibly smooth, etc. I was even on adderall that day and this overpowered the stimulant effect. I also had the classic muscle cramps dancing and running in the back of my thighs, something that happens basically every time I do LSD, mushroooms or MDMA .

overal the peak lasted about 10-12 hours and I still felt subjectively under its effect until about 16 hours in. the come down was very easy and gradual.

at the end of the day, all in all, I took a completely random mystery yellow substance and have NO idea what it is, and thats actually just fine. from my own limited experience, it definitely seemed like a mescaline analogue or something rather in the[FONT=arial, sans-serif] [/FONT]phenethylamine /2cX class. had a great time, it was absolutely enjoyable , and I'm completely content with knowing I won't ever truly know what that was .... so this isn't a "what did I take" post, well roughly speaking anyways haha.

I am not looking for an answer from one of you guys on what I took, I read the rules, but I DID take something in particularly silly circumstances and really enjoyed what I felt...it was a pleasant shock, this unknown chemical has won its way to my top 5 psychedelic compounds already. especially considering it was NOT expected or planned. based off my experience I'm interested in possibilities of compounds I might not be considering for further study. off anecdotal experience I'm feeling its a mescaline analogue or a 2cx, but the reagents seem to speak different. but even those weren't definite one way or the other. i am only one measly person with such limited personal experience, would anyone care to throw in some possibly unconsidered RCs or analogues that I may be ignorant too? atleast duration wise? I know psychedelic experience is so subjective its almost impossible to pin point but i figure the duration and long come up should single out atleast somewhat decently a target class. once again, I'm not interested in finding out what I took, and I'm not asking what I SHOULD take, I am interested in chemicals that are similar in experience to what I felt for further personal research as I was left with a profound and impacting experience from it ( never again will I take unknown substances from capsules, althugh it was pleasant I realized how insane I was for guinie pigging random RCS like that lol).

the only reason I'm even curious about this is because although the effects were almost identical to the San Pedro trip I had, and VERY similar in certain ways to 2cXs, I dont remember the reagents showing this as positive for mescaline , OR 2cX for that matter..I honestly dont remember if they were close positives or not I just remember those were defiintely on the sheets an I didnt seem to note it then so I can only assume it was a negative for us to go with the methylone guess.


[[also one interesting note is the we took the substance orally on the tongue, while I noticed absolutely zero taste at all, (literally tasted nothing, until maybe the 3rd opened cap in I started getting a very FAINT bitter taste towards the end of swallowin) while my friend found it absolutely terrible, like he was having that sporadic body convulsion thing after each dose that people do when they take a shot of hard liquor or some MDMA. it wasn't a matter of "oh that taste doesnt bother me" there literally WAS NO TASTE for me. while this kid was gagging each time.]]

what are some RC's and psychedelics or drug classes known in the MG dose range with particularly long come up times ?
are there mescaline analogues that are viable and would they show up on reagents as mescaline or similar ?
are there obscure 2cxs with long come ups and durations ?
are there RC classes similar to the phenylethylamines ?
I considered DOx's but considering dosage difference this seemed like a substance with much less affinity (once again in the triple digit mg range.)


peace y'all, from your friendly neighborhood guinea pig, thanks for reading

mods : sorry if this is too close to a what did I take thread, please dont delete it, I'm trying to take it in a different direction than simply identifying what I took and open a discussion in potentially unconsidered RCs and psychedelics in general, many times we stick to the classic go to tryptamines and many beautiful compounds get forgotten. but I understand if its too close for comfort.
 
I may get in trouble for this but everything seems to be pointing to Mescaline. Reagents aren't dead on accurate, I've had two instances now where I tested an MDXX substance with reagents that had very weird results making me think it wasn't MDXX until I later found out it was via lab testing. Not many have actually tested Mescaline via reagents so our understanding of the color reactions isn't as complete as for something like MDMA. (I.e. MDMA can go dark purple or completely black on Marquis.)

The only weird thing would be the zero taste but who knows that can vary too. For instance last time I took LSD I freaked out cuz I could taste bitter on blotters no one else could taste. I then took a blotter that was previously tasteless to me and found it to also be bitter and realized it was my perception that was off..

I'd say search out Mescaline if you want to relive that experience..

Addressing your thread title: yea there belongs a thorough disclaimer with this at the very least that you cannot expect to ask what you took and get a proper answer. If mods allow deduction to take place you should not act on this information since speculation is not a real substitute for chemical analysis.

You would probably have gotten into major trouble if this wasn't some empathogen / stim active in the hundreds of milligrams. Don't just guess the dosage range next time even with these reagent results.. but at least titrate! Reagent tests are not conclusive and if you are in the wrong order of magnitude by guessing the wrong drug you are almost certain to be in OD territory.

I wonder if it is possible if you took bk-2C-B but I am just venturing a guess right now as I can't be bothered to try and narrow down what could have been a false positive 3/4 of M1 other than that bk-2C-B is also a cathinone. But maybe it is more likely that it was an RC homologue of mescaline like escaline in which case you may have taken quite the high dosage depending on which homologue it was.

Yeah my synthetic mescaline HCl looks a bit yellow-ish by the way. No idea if this tends to be the same for the homologues, I forgot what my allylescaline looked like but I don't think it was quite so yellow. What you took does sound like an obscure phenethylamine passed off as mescaline but you are damn lucky it isn't one that isn't a lot more potent or you could have easily been killed. Seriously, it is foolish to take a mystery drug without titration even if you try a process of determination. Don't bet your life on it, this is not how reagents are supposed to be used, you use them to confirm not ID.

I will never understand why kids will willingly take something like this without any idea what so ever what it is? You found a gel cap with powder?
I have stored 4AcO-MiPT in capsules before, and if someone were to accidentally take one it would be a huge mistake on their part. The absolute wrecklessness cannot be ignored here. I hope you are smarter in the future.

Reagent tests I think have their limitations, and this powder may fit that bill. Colored compounds are going to possibly interfere with the results of the test, especially when you are expecting it to not turn a dark color that will overpower any tint. You had a yellow powder, and if you use an amount of reagent that does not completely use up reactant, you will have color interferences. Also if the lab did not give you pure compound and said compound impurity is colored and not reactive with the reagent test you will have an interference.

Another one is compounds, like mescaline, which are commonly extracted from natural sources. The color will vary wildly, as will the differing active and inactive impurities. these will no doubt inhibit your ability to read a colorimetric test.

There are only so many psychedelics with that long of a come-up, duration, and activity. Just sift through PIHKAL and I am sure you will find suitable possibilities. Or dare I say, ask the dude where you got it from either what it really was or where he got it from?

Smart money is on Mescaline extract. But I would think some of the longer duration 2c-x drugs could fit. Remember, just because there is 300mg of powder in the capsule does not mean that you took 300mg of psychedelic.

If I were going to sell something like 2C-E, for instance, I would not throw 12mg in a capsule and call it a day. People would think they were getting screwed. I would add a colored adulterant to fill the space of the capsule up.
 
That would be a wise call if your reagent test result came up mostly yellow (which matches methylone for some reagents), but if it were yellow even before you added the reagent and nothing changes I would hope that you wouldn't be so foolish as to take that into your interpretation...

By the way, storing a drug in capsules is not particularly wise either.. if you advocate that people don't do dumb things I would try to not set up ignorant people to do dumb things if they stumble upon your stash.

Sifting through PIHKAL only really helps if you are quite knowledged already, you need to be able to do a lot of things like differentiate which of most of those entries are exceedlingly rare substances and not something you should consider as being your mystery drug.

I don't know what people cut their pretend-mescaline with but if I were doing that I definitely wouldn't use colors if I were trying to fool anyone based on real properties of psychedelics rather than fancy colors as if they were a child. Also, pigments in such excess would likely give a bright color and not a dim tan-ish sort of color. But here we would go into a particularly pointless territory of speculation.

The rest I quite agree with :)

appreciate that. and yeah that was the weird part is it was incredibly bitter, like supposedly even worse than MDMA to my friend but to me it took doses before I even tasted a distinct chemical taste.... so i don't even know what was going on in that regard haha, I'm sure it was just my perception. but that was my FIRST indication that it probably wasn't methylone before it even kicked in. I was questioning it not having that bitter chemical sting. anyways I appreciate the input my gut was telling me from the jump probably mescaline or phenylethylamine of some sort. maybe a 2cp or something. definitely in the top 5 experiences I've had.

it wasn't quite as yellow as that exact one but in the vicinity, it did have some contrast more so than just a faint tan. it was definitely yellow but less bright, but pretty even between the two polarities.


and to clarify a little bit, I did actually titrate up slowly throughout the hour. what I meant by guessing the dose, as the powder was pre capsuled when I arrived, was trying to help narrow down judgement of the compound atleast roughly by the amount . so for example, each pill looked to have about 100-300 mg so it was safe to say it wasn't something like DOx or something even more microscopically potent like nbome if each capsule was so full. I dumped them out and took baby licks every 10 or so minutes, so yes I did titrate up slowly. I didn't guess the dose weight, more so trusting the caps the be standard doses (almost equally as dumb lol).

now that you mention it, some of the mescaline hcl online does look somewhat similar, it still very well could have been mescaline and just not shown up on the reagents accurately perhaps.


appreciate the input <3
peace

well we were fairly (ignorantly) confident it was M1 . but yes completely silly nonetheless. I know better.

and the friend who had them is basically in the same boat as me, had no idea what the exact compound was. all he knew was which friend left them ( the kid left them because he was boarding a flight and didn't want to smuggle the last few caps), and the vague recollection of his friend talking about taking them and it possibly being mescaline.. but these kids as much as I love em aren't exactly people I would trust on chemical ID. I pressured for a reagent kit either way. I was highly suspect of them being mescaline. after all said and done it seems pretty on point though. I was also thinking maybe a 2c-p or something rather.

thank you though, those are some very good factors to consider. the powder seemed pretty uniform and actually matches a lot of the examples of mescaline extract online, perhaps slightly a little more yellow but definitely overlaps.

peace! appreciate the input
 
If active in the hundreds of milligrams with a long come up time, then the candidates that jump immediately to mind are mescaline and bk-2C-B. You'd have to have won the lottery to have received actual mescaline, and anyway it's powerfully bitter. bk-2C-B is vastly more likely, but strange that anyone would try to pass it off given how temperamental it can be with stomach contents (it dimerizes in water.) DOx are possible only if heavily cut. I will say that mescaline is an absolute treasure imo, and bk-2c-b is a throwaway. If this serves as the catalyst to explore mescaline in the future, there could be worse outcomes. I just hope that you're more circumspect in the future - it's not a safe time to be taking 100mg+ doses of unknown drugs.

it seemed VERY on par in terms of quality of effect compared to the San Pedro mescaline experiences I've had. sooo so so smooth, and the body load was there too. perhaps a little less than on the straight cactus, but quite remarkably similar. I notice that normally with mescaline the headspace, although still incredibly puddled, will be slightly more rational than a classic tryptamine headspace but the body load will be intense in one way or another.

and apparently it was incredibly bitter to atleast ONE of us, and we were going from the same caps so I will scratch that factor off to perception issues. but if it were BK 2cb that could be a potential reason for a false positive on the m1 as they're both cathinones.


If this serves as the catalyst to explore mescaline in the future, there could be worse outcomes. I just hope that you're more circumspect in the future -.


what do you mean there could be worse outcomes from mescaline? from the compound itself or from irresponsible behavior as I performed?
 
This is why I've never even taken an RC at all, other than F-Phenibut, and maybe Prolintane if that counts.

At least I know what Kratom and Phenibut look like (and F-Phenibut), so I feel safe with those.

Of course I am NOT asking for sources, but you guys who have been so bold as to order these various chemicals from online dark net vendors, how do you really have any more chance of knowing that it is what the online dealer says it is than if some random dude on the street sells it to you??

I'm very interested in trying 4-ACO DMT as many people have said it doesn't negatively interact with the Lexapro I'm on and I love shrooms and people say it's like that, so a few times I've seen it advertised and consider buying it, but I never do, cause I'm always thinking "what proof is there that it isn't an NBOME or anything else that could be dangerous?"

Wouldn't it be just as likely the online dealer would pass off an even cheaper chemical and sell it as something more expensive, even if both are RCs, to a complete stranger they know they'll never meet?

How is ordering any of these things not just the wild west, other than these reagent kits (which I've never used)?

There is definitely a chance of that happening and I have heard reports of it happening. In my case I was purchasing from a site that was not even on the dark net, you could google it and it would come up. Had a really cheap psuedo-pharma website, but a lot of reviews and some were from people claiming to have tested the tablets contents.. I figured I would make a small order and see how it went. Placed order, find out the vendor is in the next town over and receive package next day. They send it with an extremely brief Material safety data sheet so that if the package is intercepted the authorities will know the substance.

So what precautions do the more cautious but experimental people on this forum use when buying substances on the net?

Do you mainly use those reagent kits?

Also, I'm not even sure what the difference between the dark/deep web (are they the same thing?) and the regular internet is.

How do you even get on the "dark web" or know if you are on it?

Could I have been on it before without knowing? LOL

I'm guessing it's something to do with going several layers deeper within websites and hiding IP addresses and other shit like that that I totally don't understand since I'm not the best with computers.

My understanding of the Deep vs Dark web is that Deep web refers to any site that can't be accessed from a search engine, like Google or Bing. This means that while Bluelight.org and all it's posts are not a part of the deep web, your personal Bluelight page IS part of the deep web because to get to that page requires login credentials and can't be accessed by simply putting in a link or google search. The dark web on the other hand are sites that require special software (Tor) or protocols to access and would be very difficult/impossible to "stumble upon." Most people use a software called Tor to access the dark web and hide their information.

Unfortunately, I really don't know if you can do anymore than read reviews and test the product you get. I would also recommend avoiding the dark web if at all possible, there's a lot of trouble to get into by accident and you never know who you are interacting with

Edit: The reviews, while obviously not a great method, does help because some vendors will have thousand of comments that are all positive, while other vendors will have only 3 or 4 and those are probably not worth the risk
 
if anyones curious, my fellow guinea pig ended up getting in contact with the original owner and it was in fact mescaline =D=D

You are so damn lucky.

I've wanted to try Mescaline forever.

Why is it so hard to get these days and why was it supposedly easier to get in the 60s and 70s?

Other than like Quaaludes and a few other lesser used drugs like barbiturates, it seems like almost every drug is much MORE available now than it was in the 60s and 70s, and yet I know some old people who said they used it many times and it was around a lot back then.

What's up with that?

Did they just think it was Mescaline and was it really acid or something else?

Surely if they were able to have it around then it should be more readily available now.
 
Can't mescaline be made from the san pedro cactus? I have a shit ton of these things growing nearby. Myco come to the south west and get your trip on

yeah man, I do feel like I won the lottery on that one. gotta throw the towel in while I'm ahead on the random dosing of mystery compounds hah.

mescaline is great man, this experience boosted it up well into my top 3 psychedelics. probably only second to N-n dmt /ayahuasca....I might even have to put it over mushrooms and L but thats definitely subject to change over time as things go. I'm surely intrigued in it more at the moment though I can say that much.

I think one of the major drawbacks for people and probably a factor in why it lost some popularity over time is its duration and body load. from this experience I just had it seems that body load is more severe, and coupled with stomach disturbances that last a good day or two, when taken in button or cactus beverage form, synthetic might be a little mor forgiving. I think just culturally as LSD gained notoriety it guided more and more people its way. Pareto principle lol.

I seriously doubt people would mistake mescaline for acid for not only the obvious dosage range differences and appearances, (taking micrograms versus triple digit milligrams) ,but the effects are much different too . if you're familiar with tryptamines at all, as your mycophile name and preview post about liking mushrooms suggests, then you will immediately feel that this is a different class of hallucinogen completely almost immediately upon noticing effect. it effects the same 5-ht2a receptor but in a very different way than classic LSd or psilocybin

I don't think its TOO hard to find though, definitely not the most common hallucinogen but with the right crowd it should be feasible to track down (Even if just by accident like me =D ). I remember when I felt like DMT was almost impossible to find, years of no luck. finally it came around, and as they say when it rains it pours hahaha.


but yeah, major drawback of mescaline is a fair risk of pretty intense body load, I didn't notice it too bad this time besides that crazy cramping spell my thighs have on psychedelics.. it was actually pretty intense but kind of entertaining. I was on adderall as well from earlier though(not sure how much that would help or worsen at all). body load normally trades off for some lightening up of head space but not quite as clear headed as say a 2c-X . can still cause a lot of unwanted realization and overwhelming retrospection for the hallucinogen naive just like the classic tryptamines, its just in a different style .

Can't mescaline be made from the san pedro cactus? I have a shit ton of these things growing nearby. Myco come to the south west and get your trip on


Yup =D my first real mescaline experience was off a San Pedro beverage called Wachuma in the Andes mtns in Peru and it was seriously flooring. I was majorly puddled for a solid 20 or so hours
