I recently tried San pedro cactus for the first time just over a month ago and I noticed I had severe nasal congestion for the first couple of hours of the trip but it was just 1 side of my nose.
I then tried it for a second time a couple of weeks back and again I experienced severe congestion for the first 3 hours of the trip this time in both sinuses, it was extremely uncomfortable and ruined the first few hours of the trip (was an amazing experience after it cleared up though)
Has anyone else experienced this or is it just me? I was also wondering which alkaloid it is that's causing this so I'm planning on performing an extraction and purification to isolate the mescaline so I can find out if it's the mescaline itself or one of the secondary alkaloids present.
