Welp that was interesting... Definitely different than either P Torch or San Pedro alkaloids.
I started with one 150mg capsule and within 45min was beginning to strongly feel the trip so decided 150mg was enough and split the rest 5 capsules with 5 other people.
The comeup was very rough, at points I was having jaw movements like I’d just snorted a gram line of cocaine and my body was shaking, yet simultaneously felt sedated/weighted down.
I threw up periodically throughout the experience partially from the Mescaline and MDMA and partly from the 90F weather. A lot of time was spent melted out under trees or canopies.
Overall for me the experience while intense wasn’t as spiritual or insightful, yet it felt cleansing. No one else purged quite like I was, or had the same bodyload. I chalked up my experience to the fact I’ve got a lot of physical and emotional trauma still from chemo and the Mescaline was hard at working cleaning me out.
At some point in the night I just gave up fighting the bodyload and laid in bed tripping hard.
The visuals really didn’t start get going until 5-6hrs in and I was still tripping good when I woke, having eaten it 2pm the day prior.
I don’t want to comment too negatively because while my trip was rough on the bodyload and nausea, no one else’s was.
The next night I had a candyflip which I feel the Mescaline influenced. The cleanse the night before set me up for an experience that has left me in a state of bliss and feeling right with the world again.
Overall the experience was more like mushrooms than the Mescaline I’d had before, my thoughts and words were discombobulated which is unusual. The bodyload/weighted down feeling also was different.
I also feel like my purified alkaloid experiences never quite reach the same place as my tea or crude extract ones, the euphoria and empathy aren’t quite as there. And the nausea actually gets worse for me!!
Out of the other 5, my wife had a very melted experience with zero nausea and good positive feelings, my one guy friend seemed like he was on cloud 9, his gf had nausea but quickly began to feel better, my brother and his girl were on too much shit to make heads or tails.
I think from now on I’m sticking to crude extracts, i truly believe there’s something missing in the purified alkaloids. That said my goal is to try and purify the crude extract to a point where it still maintains its good effects profile while simultaneously being as pure as possible. I plan to document and report my findings here as they come to light.
I wonder if a simple non-polar wash on the crude extract can make it more palatable while still retaining that good good
Edit- One more thing, that 150mg was stronger than 250mg of San Pedro or P Torch alkaloids, also lasted longer.
