Here's another one that I submitted to Erowid. The last one that I posted everyone seemed to enjoy so here is another one.


A bit of background on myself, my usage, my experience, and my history. I am a Caucasian male. Currently about 6” tall, about 260 lbs. I seem to have a preternatural tolerance to a wide variety of substances.

I became interested with drugs at about the age of 18. I am 22 years old now, and I didn’t get to try anything other than cigarettes, alcohol, and caffeine until I was 19. The first two I’m not too fond of and I consume caffeine in some way sometimes up to a couple of times a day. That schedule isn’t regular though. At some point in my almost 5 years of doing drugs I have experienced most of the most common and most popular drugs of most chemical classes as well as some rather new and novel ones. I’ve done my fair share of Psychedelics, Empathogens and Entactogens, Stimulants, and Opioids/Opiates. I’ve done a couple of different Disassociatives, one Deleriant, a handful of Sedative-Hypnotics, Cannabis and several Cannabinoid admixtures, some Benzos, I’ve tried a few herbal substance, and Salvia.

I’ve yet to find a substance and/or chemical class that have been completely to my dislike or was completely without some type of value.

I have a grandiose and romantic streak in me and this makes me want to explore and experience new and intriguing things. Since, unfortunately, I have not been able to do as much exploring in the real world as I would like, I often turn to drugs and my own body and mind for these pursuits.

My GF and I picked up some caps of Mescaline at a music festival. We were very excited to try this compound, however, do to life happening as it does we were unable to actually try it for almost a year (about 8 months).

Eventually the time is right. I am going to do some Mescaline! I’m very excited but I am very aware that the chemical might well have suffered some loss of potency; this knowledge combined with my recently acquired needle fetish leads me to but one conclusion, I must IV it!

There seems to be a dearth of reports on intravenous phenethylamines (IV MDMA isn’t unheard of though, from what I understand, and I have seen a few 2C-C IV reports as well as one or two of one of the 2C-T compounds) . I am unsure if there is a solid reason for this. Maybe the rapid onset of a powerful hallucinogen is too intense for most, or perhaps people are worried about accidentally taking too much, or are likewise unwilling to explore such uncharted waters. I don’t think there is a good reason chemically or pharmacologically speaking for this lack but either way, it is irrelevant to my story.

I wrote some notes not too long after this experience and they say that I only took 200 mgs. However I was quite sure that there were 400 mgs in each of these caps and the me in my memories of this experience takes the whole thing. I had a friend there (my needle mentor actually) who helped prepare the shot and then injected it for me, as I was having some trouble with the process. She pulled back the plunger and my blood flowed into the chamber. She depressed the plunger and the solution entered my body.

Nothing happened immediately, is usually the case with the IV experience. But then very rapidly within seconds the oddest sensation came over me. It was overpowering and overwhelming, this alien sensation wrapping itself around my consciousness. My vision started to blur and crystalize as someone asked me if I was ok. I wouldn’t have used the word, but I wasn’t really not all right either. I was just incredibly uncomfortable. I get this sensation often with hallucinogens which have a quick come up and sometimes on ones with a normal profile as well.
But then the moment passed and my vision and my mind settled down and I was through the plateau of the experience.

The trip I found myself in was a most pleasant and subtle one. This is a fantastic way to take Mescaline, unfortunately though it was my only time and this was what I would consider a low + on the Shulgin Scale. I would titrate up from this dose (and possibly a slightly lower one) if I could get my hands on this pure material again.

All in all other than the plateau, while it was a very pleasant and beautiful experience nothing much happened. I was in the psychedelic headspace and so was my mentor (who was on a tab of acid) but I was not very far into it. We talked the usual trippy talk and colors where enhanced in a way that is from what I am told peculiar to Mescaline, very light and pastel.

The length seemed to be a bit shorter (by a couple of hours) than that of a regular Mescaline trip, again because of the ROA and the possible compromised nature of the substance.

That is pretty much all there is. I’m sorry that I don’t have more to say. I will try this again one day and I will certainly write a report up on it.

Hope you guys enjoyed it! <3
 
i wont touch needles, but a fascinating report.

were you at all apprehensive about the stuff in the capsules not being mescaline? i feel like mescaline is rarer than gold.
 
For a long time, starting in the '70s I believe, micro-dot LSD was sold as "mescaline".....

Growing up in the '90s, I had a bunch of "mescaline"....It was always microdots....i.e., tiny little pills....the size of a piece of spaghetti sliced horizontally, like pepperoni.....

Pretty sure it wasn't actually mescaline, and like the guy above me said, true synthetic mescaline is pretty damn rare.....how do you know it wasn't something else? Not to be a dick, but a lot of us here on BL have done a great variety of different psychedelics, but to claim having done "actual mescaline" that you got from somebody at a show or a festival....I have my doubts....

Granted, peyote and San Pedro's principal psychoactive ingredient is mescaline....but synthesized mescaline is a different story....I'm not sure if it can be extracted from the cacti, or what the deal with that is.....

When I bought it I was, however after having measured it I was more confident. I don't really know of too many other phenethylamines that need that much powder for an active dose. (I suppose it could have been something else in an inert powder though, no way to tell) After taking it I feel pretty confident that it was, in fact, mescaline. I've tried one of the TMAs before that and the effects where definitely closer to what most people describe mescaline as.

A friend of ours bought it and took his at the festival and although he was unaware of mescalines profile the trip he described having matched up pretty well. Also, at a later date my GF ingested her cap with similar effects to our friend and myself. They both took theirs orally and the trip she described was a light ++. We are both still unsure if there was any degradation of the material itself. Our friend didn't report a mind blowingly strong trip either.

It is possible that that is just what 400 mgs of Mescaline does to me and my friends, gives us a medium-light trip, but it is also possible that it wasn't pure and that it was some form of extracted material. Either way I'm fairly satisfied that what I got was in some way shape or form related to the psychoactive cactuses.

I've gotten better contacts since that time. I'm very hopeful that one day I will be able to do it again. :)
 
A lot of 2C phens should not be injected because they are caustic and could damage your vascular system. Even if mescaline is less aggressive, the dose required is higher so still a potential hazard. I've considered IMing synthetic mescaline and wondered why there is not much to be found on the subject... then after I injected 2C-C I decided not to inject psychedelic phenethylamines anymore. It really did not feel okay, then I started asking around and found some its and bits to suggest that injecting psychedelic phens is not good practice.

Furthermore I hope your product was synthetic as well (from the sounds of it, you are not so sure about that), otherwise it is also dangerous to inject!

I guess that in early studies with mescaline on subjects they administered it IM or IV, but that does not really prove to me that they knew that it was a safe thing to do.

Please consider your health.

Well that's good info. Do you have any articles or anything. I've heard some people say this but I've never seen anything scientific that backs it up. I read a couple of reports where the people injected various 2Cs and all the ones that I read where they had negative reactions seemed to result from inexperience or improper injecting technique. I would love to know more of the science behind this "causticity". Is it just something I'm ignorant of because of my lack of knowledge in chemistry? I'm trying to learn. At any rate even if I were to get more it wouldn't be for awhile and it certainly is not at the top of my list. I'll just try and do more research until then. Any links anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
 
^ I agree with Soli on this one. I once IMed 6mg 2C-P and it hurt like no other. I don't know what I was thinking, really, considering how much it hurts to insufflate the powder.

Either way, felt like a bat to the thigh, and it turned out fine though I checked for signs of abscess and systemic infection for months, but I will not repeat anything like it in the future.
 
Don't count on any literature on this, I don't see why there would be any. But as is said: 2C-X compounds are clearly caustic if you consider the interactions with mucous membranes. Mescaline is a 2-carbon psychedelic PEA that might be less caustic but as is said, the dose is higher. The damage or pain can depend on how quickly the drug is dispersed and diluted in the blood, which is obviously worse with IM injections. But still, the tissue that has to deal with the concentrated bolus can suffer some unknown damage effects. It's up to you if you want to find out for yourself what that might be.
 
^Yeah, it was very reckless of me. I admit. Especially since as you mentioned there is no literature on the subject. I'm kind of ashamed I went ahead with it tbph.

It's psychosomatic I know, but once I read your last sentence I had a twang of pain in my thigh.
 
Then I guess I was reckless as well.
Too many assumptions... ;)

But knowing not to do it again after you learn from and about it, that's worth plenty (unless you exposed yourself to irreversible damage and/or mortal danger).

Be careful - it shouldn't be worth it even if it is more economical with compounds that have limited availability.
 
You were lucky because there's no telling what you IV'ed. I've only read one other "IV mescaline trip report," and they IV'ed 300 mg and threw up intensely, saying "Mescaline is not our drug."

IV'ing random pills called "mescaline" bought from music festivals is a bad idea. Mescaline is notoriously rare. In the 1990's, they were calling microdots (low dose lsd) mescaline, and no one seemed the wiser for it.
 
^The microdots I remember best from the 1990s were the "blue mescalines" and the "yellow mescalines".....They both came out around '91-'92 and I'm pretty sure they were widespread across the whole US, because I've talked to a lot of different people from different parts of the country that remember them....

The blue ones were just like really good clean LSD, I've since been told that's exactly what they were so it makes sense....

The yellow ones were really strange, they gave an intense body high and euphoria with not as many psychedelic effects, I know people on here like to argue all the time that there's "only one LSD 25", and I'm not trying to start any shit there, but I really wonder exactly what the mysterious "yellow mescalines" actually were....but I was too young to know if those microdots were on dead tour in the early '90s, never really asked anyone....but I remember kids having ziplock bags full of hundreds of them when I was a freshman in highschool, so they had to be coming from somewhere...

Back then, the vast majority of psychedelic drugs were definitely distributed by either "Deadheads" or "Ravers"....Sure there were plenty of independently produced small batches of different things that made their way around, but chances are, if you ended up with LSD or ecstasy or mescaline etc., it probably came from one of those 2 scenes....

some people also called the blue microdots, "purple double barrell", which I was told by some older people that it wasn't...purple double barrell was a differently shaped and colored kind of microdot from the 70's....I have no idea though.....

I have had people offer me what was called mescaline in gel caps before(never tried it), but if somebody was selling "mescaline" back then, it was probably microdots....

Nowadays, with hundreds of EDM and Jam-band festivals, on top of all these research chemicals, you could be getting just about anything....and hey, at least most of it gets you high,, even if it's completely different that what it's supposed to be! at least thats one way of looking at it....

Before all the RC shit, I think there was a much better chance of actually getting what you were told you were getting, and if it it wasn't what is was supposed to be, it was either completely bunk or just weak....I don't know what's worse actually, getting completely bunk shit or getting completely high on some un-known substance......
 
Surely IV'ing 400 mg of mescaline at once would bring on projectile vomiting. Like I said, who knows what he booted.
