I didn't think the taste was bad at all, though my digestive system was a little upset for at least 3-4 hours.
 
I just dump the cactus powder in my mouth and wash it down with water... the ol' toss and wash. It was WAY nastier the time I made cactus tea, the powder isn't all that bad, I just eat a bit of peanut butter afterwards and it takes the taste right out.

But yeah mescaline is really quite subtle, I think fear and Loathing in Las Vegas kinda gave the wrong idea about it, he made it sound like super acid or something, but it's very different from LSD or mushrooms, much gentler, much less overt, much less intense. It's as much like MDMA as it is LSD, but it's really just quite unique and beautiful. Not the drug for tripping face.

Can't wait to hear about that BOD, reallt interested in what that series holds. Is there a possibility of making BOC or BOE, not even sure if that works due to my poor chemistry knowledge. But 2C-E and 2C-C are two of my favorite psychedlics.

Yeah, BOB is in PIHKAL. BOD is 2C-D with a methoxy group on the beta position. DOM (which if it followed the other naming conventions, should be DOD) is 2C-D with a methyl on the alpha position. So they're similar chemically. BOB is 2C-B with a methoxy on the beta. So all of the 2C-Xs have a BOX counterpart.
 
Just got back from playing 2 music festivals this weekend. So tired... Saturday we played at 6pm, it was so hot out. Afterwards, there were a couple of other bands and then the festival organizer rounded me and some other people up and said he wanted to do a "super jam" all night. So I got up and played with a rotating cast of players, from midnight straight until 5:30, with one break. I was the only one who wanted to play keys. I was also tripping on 4-HO-MiPT and 2C-C. =D I wasn't tripping as hard as you might think because I had taken LSD the night before, but I was definitely substantially altered. It was so much fun, I actually played better than during our set (probably because it was like 95 degrees with the sun in our faces during our set). Then me and our drummer and bass player stayed up the rest of the night, and headed out to drive to a festival outside of Richmond at like 8am. Slept a bit in the car, and then played another 2 sets, from 6 to 9pm, in 97 degrees, it was even hotter. We drove part of the way back after that (6 hours total drive) and got a hotel and all shared 2 beds. Then I spent today riding in a car working my job with a mobile hot spot and power inverter.

It was awesome. <3
 
Ooh 2C-C & 4-HO-MiPT, sounds like an epic combo!

"A single inhalation of vapor from dried toad secretion containing 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) in a naturalistic setting is related to sustained enhancement of satisfaction with life, mindfulness-related capacities, and a decrement of psychopathological symptoms"

Yesss, interesting hypothesis, ready to put it to the test ;)

I believe the intensity to be very much dose dependant. My San Pedro experiences are usually just a fun headspace with comical thoughts, abstract ideas and some subtle visual FX.

There have been times though, one time recently in particular, where my entire visual field was completely painted over with rich Technicolour cartoon scenory, bustling with animated activity so vivid I could see nothing else but my thoughts projected in front of me like I was viewing cinema. A waking dream so captivating that I could sit and watch for what felt like hours. I was still quite lucid considering, and there was this tranquil, zen-like calm about me.

When I've been at similar depths on mushrooms, it's quite different. Rather than painting over my surroundings, the visual effects from psilocin seem to 'interact' with what's around me; auras around objects, imagery within smoke, shadows creep along the floor as the curtains dance and the walls take a deep breath. There is a sense that some force is trying to communicate with me, things are deeply symbolic. A euphoric sense of well-being and complex, philosophical headspace.

TL;DR:

I think mescaline can be every bit as powerful as mushrooms, acid, DOC etc. It is just different.
 
BTW, I just got some acacia confusa root bark and would like to try an ayahuasca-like tea.

Can anyone tell me, is P Harmala the way to go or is there something a bit safer? I'm a bit worried about taking MAOIs.

Syrian rue is the best. thought im not sure how acaica itself would go into a tea. I have just extracted the dmt out of it put into a capsule 50 mg and taken syrian rue first then the dmt a small period of time.

Reverisble MAOI's are the safer ones like syrian rue make sure to restrict eating some certain foods for a few days aswell like dairy and chocolate. Wear a pair of underwear and pants you dont mind throwing out incase the purge hits hard before you get to the toilet in time.
 
Just ordered some Syrian Rue. Apparently the acacia bark goes okay as a tea, according to reviews at least. Maybe I'll end up putting everything into capsules, not sure yet.

I at least want to give the whole plant a try first. If it's really disgusting, nauseating or something, I'll use extracted alkaloids.

I don't usually have stomach issues with psychedelics, hopefully this won't be different..
 
That sounds like a really spiritual journey your about to go on. I've never prepared ayausca but I have made San Pedro Cactus Resin. Why I tripped on it I felt so connected to everything and everyone. And looking back I think about how much I enjoyed simmering and reducing. Your a part of creating your own Vision Quest...Just think that's pretty cool
 
I spent last week in Buenos Aires, visiting a friend. Was an awesome time. On Saturday we had a party with lot's of musicians, we were jamming and singing all night long. Arrived Sunday evening, severely sleep deprived. We went out every single night I spent there. I'm not young enough for that anymore, lol. Been struggling all week with getting up in time for work. But I'm so happy I took those days off, I had missed my friend.

How's everyone doing?

<3
 
Good man, that's awesome. :) I jammed all night this past weekend too. Got a show tonight in town (for a change, been on the road a lot) and also Saturday (only 3 hours away, woohoo). I was playing a festival this past weekend and members of various bands got up from midnight until 5:30am to play together for everyone, and no one else wanted to play keys so it was me the whole night. It was great. :)

Today my ex got officially transferred off my deed and I sent the settlement check so it's officially 100% done!
 
Good to take breaks. Im soon to take a break from my break haha. Winter is slowly starting to fade away. Im starting to crave tripping in nature.

@Xorkoth, yeah, I read about you working on the road using a mobile hotspot... Really living the dream, huh? Sounds pretty exciting. I wish your bands the best. Would be pretty cool if you guys blow up and get signed or something.
 
Yeah that would be pretty sweet, I'd love to make my living just playing music. That's hard though, my good friend is in a band that travels all over and plays twice as many shows as we do, at much bigger venues. All those guys still have side jobs and are just managing to make ends meet. You just don't get paid much to play music. I think it's the hardest working job for the least amount of money, when you factor in practice, take down, travel, set up, take down, go back home, set up again. Lots of manual labor. It's really about it being the most fun thing you could possibly be doing... without that it would be a raw deal, but it's the best thing there is. :)

I feel very lucky because I get a nice salary that pays for everything and allows me to save and live comfortably, we'd have to be making a lot of money for me to match that, more than most bands can make. Fortunately I can work regardless so I'll probably stick with it unless we get really big. Unlikely, much more likely we'll be regionally popular and play tons of shows and make decent money which for me means I make really good money in total. It kinda freaks me out sometimes how everything fell into place, almost like I knew without knowing what I needed to do, from before I went to college even. Followed my intuition. I can't complain man, I have a lot of shit I've had to deal with over the past few years, and I still do, but I love my life, I feel fulfilled and happy. :)

Just got done playing a hometown show, and on Saturday we're going about 4 hours away to West Virginia. The set tonight was good, one of the best we've played.
 
@Xorkoth hey man I'm absolutely delighted at this news, its great to read & really uplifting to hear, a bit of sunshine for me in a grey day. I'd love to be able to say to my grandchildren "You like them guys? well that guy Xorkoth, back in the day he used to talk to me on a forum and now he's hanging out with Jagger and co" xxx
:D
 
Well i just saw Help?!?!'s thread in the Shrine.

So fucking depressing, he was a really special guy here in PD. I've watched so many amazing people from here pass away over the years, it's a really difficult part of this forum. I always try to avoid looking in the Shrine sometimes cuz it makes me so sad.

:(
 
I was about to post in here... about Help. Received word that he died of a heroin overdose 2 or 3 days ago. Fuck fuck fuck. So many BLers have died. I don't even want to start thinking about it. I am right in the middle of 2 weeks of hell at work (ie, super long days, more work than anyone should have to do, and it's that way for all of my colleagues too). I can't even stop to process it right now.

Help was one of my best friends I never met on here. I'm crushed. What the fuck. :| ?
 
Just got enough time to check back here, still have some work to do. It's good actually that I had a crazy work day because I'd rather not think about this. We talked about him coming through my town to visit for years but it never happened. And now it never will.

Fuck opiates. Fuck heroin. Fuck fentanyl. How many more of us are going to die? :(
