However, I don't see how the mescaline from Peruvian Torch is different from the EXACT SAME MOLECULE in San Pedro or Peyote. Unless there are other psychoactive alkaloids in the plants, which I have never heard of, the effects should be the same.
Trichocereus cacti contain 100s of compounds, not just mescaline, some of which are psychoactive, some medicinal and some unknown.
Lophophora contains even MORE compounds than Trichocereus!
Does anyone know what these specific compounds are? have these been tested seperately for their psychoactivity?
Like I said there are tons of them.
Check out the "Lost Peyotes" info, that gets into this.
One could say that coffee and tea offer rather different experiences. Tea being a lot mellower. This has been studied: they both contain caffeine as their active stimulant but the tannins in the tea slow down the absorbtion, stretching out the effect of caffeine on a longer period. Kind of like snorting vs. IVing. Also coffee has bowel irritation as a side-effect, which makes the experience different i'll agree, but not in a "differently psychoactive" way.
I disagree. Roasted Coffea seeds are going to have all sorts of different stuff in them when compared to Camellia leafs. Nutrients, minerals, vitamins, not to mentions their different make-ups in psychoactive compounds. Tea may contain theobormine and all sorts of xanthines and stuff... while coffea will contain another set of compounds, even tho their main active chemical in both is caffeine, they are very different.... look at Yerba Mate and the other Ilex plants... they are even more different.
I can't believe people are so stupid (vistor q) as to not know that cacti contained other compounds besides mescaline... geeze... retard.
