Mescaline and Anxiety

[thelunge]

Hi,

I have taken t. bridgesii cactus on two occasions (5 inches and then 8 ) and both times i have experienced crushing anxiety through the entire experience, the last time it took 12 hours before it went away.

Now i am emotionally pretty unhealthy, with a lifetime of repressed emotions and this is mainly why i am experimenting with mescaline, to try and shake these emotions loose.

My question is, since i have read that mescaline can cause anxiety is what i am experiencing a healthy release of emotions that i have stored up or just a side effect of a drug that doesnt sit well with me.

I am trying to decide if i should stick with it or give up, any help or advice would be much appreciated,

Thanks

I don't see any point in trying it again. But if you do and have the same anxiety, you'd be a fool to keep at it. Cactus gives me a consistently uncomfortable body load.

Anxiety on psychs can be a sign of some issue(s) bothering you, maybe subconsciously. Try to find out what it is and work through it. Face the issue and the difficult emotions that may accompany it. You turned to psychs for these emotions you mentioned, and the anxiety is the sign you're looking for.

A trip sitter might be helpful to you. Someone you trust deeply and you can talk to about anything. He/she can be sober or, if they're experienced, on a low dose of the same psych.

Mescaline, and cactus even more so, has a body load like AfterGlow said. Whether you like this body load or not is personal. You have to find out for yourself if mescaline is for you.

Thanks for the insight guys, i think i will try again but stick with lower doses. I also think i will get some seroquel/vallium to abort the trip if it turns too nasty to cope with.

Also, are you saying that mescaline has less of a body load if its extracted from the cactus first? Perhaps this is something i should do?

If you have phenibut, you may try 250-500 mg before trip, it works good and doesn't blunt trip much.
