first time with mescaline PLEASE HELP!

[Soysmoke]

i know this kind of thread has been done time and time again so forgive me..

i have around 3 grams (i have no scale nor do i want to buy one, i know its silly of me) of a mescaline resin extract. i ate a small amount of it, maybe 1/6th of the total, 3 or 4 days ago and had very noticeable mental effects and apparent visual OEVs. i plan on eating all of it at once. but im faced with the choice to go solo or not.

my first plan of action was to go solo, as i have some personal and emotional things i want to work through. but as i put more thought in to it i feel like i could benefit more if i had someone to talk to. ive always been one to trip alone and the times ive learned the most ive been flying solo. but this time feels different.

for the last 4 years i tripped or rolled or tweaked in secret, keeping my drug use hidden for the most part. i have friends in a different state that know what im going to do but its not like i can be on the phone with them while tripping. there is one person i wish i could share the experience with but i know she wouldnt want to even if she could. so i feel i have a couple of choices.

1. i can ask my 27 year old step-brother, not so much to trip sit (ive only needed a sitter once in the 7 years ive been tripping) but to join me and be there to talk. ive never been around him while high on anything but weed. and im not sure how well he could provide emotional support for me. but i know he is there. i dont know how we'd go about me tripping. be it a camping trip, just chilling at his house, or a very long walk.
2. my younger sister who is 16 years old. she grew up with me and knows about my past drug use. ive tripped around her before when we were both younger. but now we have a better bound and actually get along and i feel as if i can talk to her. but i dont know if she can truly understand whats going on in my life and what i need to get past it. but agian im not sure how we'd go about this let alone if shed be out with it. i might have to hide the fact im on mescaline.
3. just go solo. i have lots of options of what i could go do by myself. hike, camp, darkroom it over night, etc..
4. my father. i know that this option might be the worse sounding but it is the most appealing for me. my father is very wise and sense ive moved back in with him ive learned a lot from him that has helped me get over some things in my life. he also has the strongest faith in God out of all everyone i could trip with, which is something i want to focus on. i know he can give me more insight in to the the things im dealing with then the others. the thing is i wouldnt tell him i would be taking mescaline. i know i can hide the fact from him and have no problem doing so. the other thing is my uncle (his brother) would most likely be there as well.

i know having a solo experience would be more then fine but i know ill have a lot to say and will want to talk to someone. i can talk freely to all the people listed above and have no problem hiding being high from anyone. and at any point with anyone i know i can slip on my head phones and melt away to my own world no problem.

all that being said id like to hear anything and everything anyone has to say.

If you got very noticeable mental effects & OEVs on 0.5g taking 2.5g at once may be overdoing it a tad.
Do you know how much cactus was used to produce the 3g, this'd give some rough indication of the mescaline content & strength which would help better judge a suitable dose.

On your options on sitters I have to say they all sound like a potentially bad idea, especially if you plan on taking 5 times the dose you took previously.
Doesn't sound like your step-brother would make you suffciently comfortable given your concern about emotional support & not having been high near him on anything before. Has he tried psychedelics before himself, has he been with people who have before? If the answer's no it's probably not a good idea.

16 year old sister - I'd be worrid about her age. Hiding (or trying to hide) the fact you're on mescaline won't work and won't make sor a smooth stress free trip.
Same issue with your father, if you have to hide the fact you're on Mescaline then it's really not a good idea.

Seriously if you plan on taking 2.5g, 5 times your previous dose don't expect to be able to hide the fact, if you're going to have a sitter there then you need to be honest with them and they need to have an idea of what to expect otherwise, among other things, there's the chance of them freaking out andbeing a negative influence or of panicing & getting the doctors, etc involved.

I have very often in the past tripped with people where I was the only one on it and they weren't aware. In some cases it has worked out and in other cases it hasn't. The main factor there for me was always whether or not they were cool with me being on drugs. If they weren't, then their presence overall caused me anxiety because I was concerned about it. In some of those cases, like with my wife, we would be smoking together so it worked out pretty well, there was reason for me to be intoxicated and I didn't have to act sober. If I had had to act sober, not just hide that I was on more than weed, in every case it ended up being a bad idea. I have had a large number of trips where I tripped in secret with friends and we smoked, had kratom, stuff like that. Often those were great experiences and it was nice to have someone around. It sounds like none of your options really fit this so I would advise not to do it.

Also I agree with other comments about the dosage. 5 times the original dose, when the original dose had strong mental effects, is a very big jump. You could end up quite overwhelmed. If you're alone when you do it, being overwhelmed would be much easier to deal with. I would imagine your pupils will be gigantic and you might even have periods of time where you're not together enough to talk or interact with people normally, and if hiding your trip is important, it could become impossible, and will almost for sure cause anxiety.

Perhaps you could do it by yourself but get together with someone on the plateau, after you've peaked and started to come down some but while you're still under the effects?

Hi Soysmoke,

I've been reading this thread. I think the people listed above seem like they could all be a nice comfort during your trip. A thing that I see becoming a problem is if you have to hide that you're tripping to your potential tripsitter. I agree with Xorkoth above me: either play open book with your sitter or leave the trip, or at least the peak of it, to a solo trip. I've found that tripping alone can be very rewarding, as have you I read. Music is my tripsitter usually now. The fact that I am one phonecall away from a few friends and family members who I know I can talk to if I needed to is usually enough for me. Shpongle has lead me through my first intense 2c-b trip by listening to the album Are You Sphongled?

By the way I'm tripping now so this post has taken a long time haha
