Peyote questions

Hi!

I'm thinking of buying a Peyote plant. I'm a little confused on the dosage.

How much peyote do you need to eat to get sufficient mescaline? IE, how much of the cactus? Like in terms of height? I'm really confused... They look like little buttons, but they can also be like 5 feet? Bah! Can someone explain this??

Thanks
 
there are a number of different plants that include mescaline as an active chemical.

the traditional one is peyote, the small dried buttons.

san pedro is faster-growing.
 
If you want one for mescaline use I'd advise getting a San Pedro or Peruvian Torch. Especially Peruvian Torch, I prefer them but they seem a bit harder to get. Both of them are legal, cheaper than peyote, they grow like 5-10 times quicker and most plant stores sell them (but I live in Texas, I'm not so sure about Canada).

Peyote buttons being 5 feet? I've never heard of that. Peruvian Torch and San Pedros can be really big though, like 15-30 feet tall. Peyote is generally measured in diameter instead of height, it's possible that peyote plants have grown 5 feet wide, but it would take a long, long time. It takes about 5-10 years to grow a peyote button to an appropriate size for consumption.

In the Don Juan books they generally ate 12 buttons, which is probably a bit much, especially for a first time. Also with mescaline it's very hard to estimate doses because individual cacti vary a huge amount. I've eaten 2 feet of San Pedro and tripped balls. I've also eaten 2 feet of San Pedro from the same vendor and felt nothing.
 
Thanks for the input all of you

Peyote is the only legal mescaline-containing plant in Canada. I guess I would order SP but, you know, it might be dangerous with customs and all.

I found a website:
Edit: took off the link
The site sells these:

It says "4 large buttons, 5-6 grams". Should theoretically I buy two of those? Obviously I'm going to look around other sites too.

Whether or not you should get it depends on cost. That's funny that peyote is the only legal one there, it kinda sucks though since the other fellas grow 5-10 times faster and are impossible to kill (I've cut them down until the only plant matter left was about 1 cm below the soil and it lived and in fact 5 of them sprouted out of the stump).

If you're not too experienced with psychedelics I'd eat 6 buttons my first time (assuming this is your first time with mescaline) to test the waters. It's a low dose in all likelyness (not neccesarily though, it depends on the strength of the cacti) but it's the only way you'll be able to test it out. Afterwards I'd probably raise the dose up to 8 and then later up to 10 or 12 if I felt that 6 was not enough. I've heard of people getting good trips off of 6 buttons and I've also heard of people getting great trips off of 12, so it's really hard to tell you how many to take. Also I don't know how large these large buttons are in comparison to the stuff I've read about.

Mescaline is great man, it's got the best open eye visuals of any psychedelic I've done except for DMT. I've always found the trip to be wonderfully gentle and mind opening, it's a psychedelic in the true sense of the word, it can show you everything you need to see.

Also, don't be scared off by vomiting or anything, but do have a place where you can throw up and not have to do a bunch of cleaning later. I've thrown up tons of times on mescaline, and it's never bothered me. It's made my trip better a few times, like when my vomit appeared to be rainbow colored sounds and other undescribable stuff.

One other thing I'd like to recomend- smoking DMT while peaking on a heavy mescaline trip is one of the best combos I've done. Seriously, it's super cool. Just a suggestion. Mescaline is a very welcoming drug with a lot of wonderful properties (in my experience of course), but you might as well start low to keep everything exactly how you want it.
