Mescaline certainly does produce the positive effects of MDMA (extreme empathy, euphoria, slight stimulation) at lower to medium doses. No hangover-- I'd say the days after are the opposite of a hangover: new appreciation of food combinations, brighter colors, more appreciate of nature.
At high doses, mescaline is a full blown psychedelic experience. My last big dos resulted in radical world-view shift. I was in a fragile state for maybe a day or two afterwards. No depression however, simply a re-imagining of the structure of existence.
You really need to extract it yourself or find a friend with enough chemistry knowledge and equipment to perform an a/b extraction.
High-dose mescaline is not really gentle at all, but without at least an alcohol extract it's damn near impossible to get yourself to a high dose.
I've got a load of decorational trichocereus cacti[...], which I'd never eat as they're merely a hobby. I'd one day soon like to try a mescaline trip however.

i think you miss an "r" at the end of your location. wikipedia isn't always right
As long as we're talking about pure mescaline, yes. But cacti contain a pretty huge cocktail of alkaloids, for example hordenine/peyocactin which is a norepinephrine releasing agent (random trivia: this compound is also an antibiotic that's been shown to kill penicillin-resistant bacteria recently). I don't know if there's any alkaloid that releases serotonin and/or dopamine in any of the mescaline-containing cacti, though, and those would be the ones you'd have to be more careful with.So it doesn't drain serotonin.
That means it takes the good of MDMA, adds a natural and psychedelic twist, and prevents monday blues (and thus is less likely to cause neurotoxicity)? Pretty much everyone says it's better than MDMA...
Doesn't it seem like the perfect drug? It must be pretty damn hard to synthesize. I can imagine it being in high demand.
Thoughts?

Still, I've been searching for mescaline everywhere. No luck (Canada).
can you type it out for me?
I'm shocked somebody knows Sanskrit, and pointed it out mere hours after I changed it.
So my question is why isn't mescaline so popular?
