mescaline problems

[Daermonn]

An individual took mescaline for the first time last night--approximately three hits, or 12 balls a little smaller than small grapes. For whatever reason, the only effects from this were a slight breathing effect in the visual field and some body effects. Can anyone please explain why the individual didn't trip? The mescaline is good: a friend took a whole lot a few days ago and tripped face. It was stored in isopropyl, so could the double-boiling process have messed with the potency? The individual took it on a more or less empty stomach with some weed and about eight tums to fight the nausea. About ten hours after ingestion and around seven hours after the first effects, the individual is still feeling the same breathing sensations. Please, what went wrong? A little ticked off and a lot confused.
Thanks.

Learn to live with it. Cacti are VERY variable when it comes to alkaloids. So unless you do a real extract and get salt form mescaline you'll never know how much your actually consuming.

Could the Tums the OP took have had an effect? Perhaps an acidic environment is more favorable?

The friend who made the batch recommended actually crushing up the calcium carbonate and mixing it in with the tar as the most efficacious method of preventing nausea--which I didn't do--and he reported no problems.

Tums are helpful if anything, I usually take some if I don't mix a bit into the tar...But there's no way of measuring how much is in there. It sounds like what you have is weak. Next time try a higher dose–the problem with alcohol extractions is that you never know how much you're consuming. I've massively overdosed when I tested the potency of what turned out to be shockingly potent cactus extract. Best bet is to play around with the dose or learn how to do a full A/B and get REAL pure mescaline.
