I recently sampled some pure synthetic mescaline HCl. I hadn't previously tried mescaline in plant form or otherwise so I was a bit nervous. Adding to the tension was a somewhat recent bad MDA experience after which I decided to avoid riskier drugs. Mescaline has a reputation as being safe though, so I wanted to give it a shot. I'm very glad I did.
My mindset coming into this is pretty tired. I've worked 11 hours and end up spending another 3 doing some stuff when I get home, so I don't get around to the mescaline until 2 AM.
(+0:00) Time is 2 am, I ingest the first 200mg dissolved in a shot of water. I am amazed and how quickly the crystalline powder dissolves, almost instantly when the water touches it. The taste is bad and very bitter, but it fades almost once it goes down.
(+0:25) I may be feeling a bit of energy, but it's probably nerves. My experience with phenethylamine psychedelics has been as a whole negative. At this point I take the second 200mg dissolved in cranberry juice which masks the taste very nicely.
(+1:00) At these point I am surely feeling a bit of something. The come up is linear and gradual. Colors and the contrast between light and dark seems a bit more vivid. My stomach is rumbling a bit and I have some gas. This is uncomfortable though. Actually at no point did I experience any nausea or real GI discomfort.
(+1:30) Around this time effects become strong enough to be impossible to question. I also experience a small amount of weird anxiety. I am asking myself if maybe somehow I took 5-hydroxydopamine by mistake or if the compound's aryl ethers are being demethylated. I entertain the idea that I have consumed a potent neurotoxin and am doing unthinkable damage or worse. On a conscious level I know this is not possilbe, but it doesn't stop me from considering it. I would not say I was seriously worried or afraid at this point.
(+1:55) The effects increase with surprising abruptness. A decent amount of energy is noticed, but it isn't the adrenergic type I associate with amphetamines. The feeling is more of an electric sensation. I start experienced strong synaesthesia and I am amazed at how different my senses seems. Sight, smell and touch seem to be working in complete harmony to create a unified sense. I think about how often I use my senses as a blunt tool, favoring one at a time and neglecting the others. Tactile sensations are strongly enhanced. At this point psychedelia wasn't very strong, but I notice colors tend to all contain overlays of greens and yellows (much like 2C-C but stronger) and distances seem off. The end of a hallway seems much father the I know it to be.
(+2:30) Effects are building up still. Psychedelia is more pronounced in the form of breathing, tracers and amazing CEVs. An excellent empathetic character is also coming on. This aspect was amazing. I could love anything or anyone, but in a more natural way than MDA or MDMA. Mescaline helps me rationalize such empathy in that I can think of many good reasons too feel empathy for say my fiance or her new dog. This rationalized empathy feels at least as intense as MDMA, but more in depth and natural as it's very much explicable and rationalized, it doesn't feel like something only induced by the drug but rather enhanced.
(+4:00) Previously described effects build to a peak of sorts. Visuals are good, but not insane. I actually like this as I feel that sometimes very strong visuals can interfere with things, but on mescaline they never did. The head space is excellent in terms of euphoria and peace, not confused at all but still quite psychedelic. I also notice a surge in the energy. It's a very strong electric sensation quite different from amphetamines. Like some sort of life force that I have put up filters on, but has always been there (sorry to sound like a hippie
). Resisting this energy is not possible, I can't lay or sit on my ass. I have to find some physical outlet. This is odd for me as I am usually content just to sit or lay around, but my senses are demanding more input and I cannot continue to deny them. As a result, I decide to go outside and listen to some music. It's around dawn so this seems like a good time as any.
(+6:00) Around this time effects seem slightly diminished. I'm not sure if it's because I am moving around more or keeping busy. Synaesthesia and visuals seem less pronounced and the trip enters a more "rolling" stage. I notice some jaw clenching and strong fits of nystagmus. I also feel a need to stretch out and flew my muscles more. Heading in side I turn on the TV and end up watching a black pentecostal program. I am not religious, but his sermon moves me very deeply. I find my eyes tearing up at more than a few points.
(+9:00) Psychedelic portion is winding down for sure. Still a nice body high, but it's less comfortable, probably because I'm tired. Some of my muscles seem a bit stiff and awkward. I'm very exhausted for sure, but still in a good mood. I wouldn't mind things to begin winding up now. I notice a diuretic effect and begin passing large quantities of bright yellow urine. Not totally sure on the color as colors were still enhanced. I seem to drink a few sips and pee 15 minutes later.
(+12:00) Decently down now, but not fully. Visuals are fairly normal, but colors are still more complex than usual. I'm very exhausted, but eating doesn't feel too good on my stomach. Decide to drink a few beers and fall asleep in no time. After sleeping 6 hours I still feel a bit worn out physically, but my mood, sense of humor and empathy are great. By that evening I'm a bit irritable, but sleep easily and feel great the next day.
As a whole I really enjoyed mescaline. It seems like everything I want in a psychedelic in terms of great head space, empathy and positive mood. The visuals were great, but not as strong as LSD. Honestly I would say MDA has stronger visuals overall, but they are less consistent throughout the trip. The body high was awesome, but sometimes the energy was a tad much and I didn't love how much it outlasted other effects. I noticed that with mescaline, the experienced seemed to integrate as it went along. I've found with other psychedelics, integration tends to take place afterwards resulting in some loss of the experience. Even after sleeping twice I had amazing recollection.
I absolutely enjoyed mescaline, but also gained a lot of respect for it. It was intense enough to be something I would only use on occasion in order to preserve the specialness. In a few months, I think I may try it again with a small increase in dosage, but honestly I'd be more than happy to keep the dose as is.
