The Most Gentle Psychedelics Thread

I would also add that if you do decide on mescaline, make sure you have a day of activity planned (set and setting). For a first-timer, the prospect of a 8 or 10 hour duration can be daunting. Having something planned can help to alleviate that feeling of "chemical commitment". Perhaps a trip to a gallery or other visual stimulus? A walk through a park?

Whatever will feel best. Again, good luck.
 
I would be inclined to say mescaline. After my first mescaline trip (which was 500mg, slightly on the higher end) all I could think was how gentle the whole experience was. But, if you are looking for a gentle trip I would avoid smoking cannabis - cannabis always kicks up any psychedelic experience multi-fold for me.

Also, even though ketamine is a disssociative, it's psychedelic effects are outstanding and gentle in low doses (50mg-100mg based on body weight or tolerance)

Hmm..I'd forgotten about that. While I projectile vomit if I ever go near cactus, I can take mescaline extracted from cactus with zero nausea. Some people do find even the pure mescaline nauseating tho.

Mescaline rxtracted from T. peruvianus seems the least contaminated with other alkaloids and only rarely gives me grief, sam pedro feels more speedy, but mescaline makes up a lower overall percentage of the total alkaloids and it;s this that made my mrs hurl, so if you were really nit picky I'd say crude mescaline extract from Peruvian yorch would probably be the most gentle, but would place 2C-D before San Pedro alkaloidal mix.

I once ate a reasonably sized dried peyote button (one of my cacti that one of the cats killed by digging it out and practicing mouse killing techniques on!) and with some San Pedro alkaloidal extract & felt flushed & nauseous for nearly 2 hours not long after consuming. Don't think I could stomach a full trip using peyote in a traditional way.

So in conclusion, i agree with Ismene as long as you're picky about the source cactus species
 
In my experience, the gentlest psychedelics that I've tried are, in approximate descending order:

2C-T-21
2C-D
AMT (a bit stimulating but very, very mentally easy and euphoric. One of my absolute favorite substances for recreation and introspection)
low dose LSD
Mescaline at any reasonable dose
4-AcO-DMT
2C-C
2C-B
2C-I
 
LSA is definately a good one. Much less trippy than LSD but still gives you a "glow". Of course most ppl do it by eating morning glorys which will make you nauseous. If you choose LSA make sure it's one of the 3 varities called Heavenly Blue, Flying Saucers, Or Pearly Gates. Make sure to wash the seeds and then crush them or you won't trip.

Never done mescaline but it sounds like your best choice.

1.5 - 2 grams of shrooms has never ever let me down. A great time everytime and not too much as far as visuals.

Also you can take GB rips of some really dank weed but I didn't always find that a pleasant experience. In fact a few times it was kinda scary.

I would say acid but now adays you never know what kind of acid you're going to get. If it's really shitty stuff 2 hits would put you in a mild trip. On the other hand if you get good acid two hits will be way more than you intended.

I really liked the nutmeg high too, only the nausea was too much for the mellow trip.
 
As you can see, everyone has different opinions on the matter. For example, I disagree with everything winter-owned said, but its nothing personal, WO ;)

Also, a lot of threads like this one tend to derail into "my favourite psychedelic" lists instead of answering the question at hand.

If you want personal my recommendations for most gentle I'd recommend medium doses of 2C-I, 2C-D, DiPT (if you don't mind the sound effects), 5-MeO-MiPT, and 4-AcO-DiPT. In fact, I find that DiPT and 4-AcO-DiPT have absoltely no negatives.

In my experience, low doses of 5-MeO-MiPT actually have more side-effects than medium doses. Never took a high dose of it.

I also haven't 2C-B or Mescaline yet, so I can't speak for those two.
 
Low-Medium Dose 2C-B
Low Dose 2C-I
Low dose LSD (I'd venture perhaps 50 - 75 mcg)
Mescaline (milage really varies here, lets say around 300mg) if stomach discomfort will not bother them
~120mg MDA

Those would be a gentle trip for ME, but then again, everybody is different.

2CB has quite a body load.

For some maybe, but most report 2C-B rather easy on the body. It certainly is for me, and all of those I have shared it with. ONly one easier is 2C-C, in my personal experience of course. YMMV.
 
For me I'd have to say 2C-B. The first time I used shrooms and LSD I had a brief moment of bad trip (never let a friend knock on a car window with a flashlight on shrooms or get blood on your hands on acid were my lessons those days). LSA would probably be my second choice there but the stomach cramps and nasuea I got for the hour before eating and throwing up (then actually trip) just puts it a little bit below 2C-B.
 
How can so many poster recomend RC's for a first psychedelic? This is kind of outrageous, there are far more risks associated with RC's and all synthetics in general. LSD, MDMA, MDA, and possibly 2CB I can understand since there is substantial research on these conpounds but I still would not personally recomend them.

A first psychedelic thats gentle and rewarding IMO is either low dose mushrooms or mescaline.
 
^^ Because there are a number of RCs that are extremely gentle, gentler than any natural psychedelic in some people's opinions (including mine). Sure, less is known about them, but that doesn't mean they are riskier. Just that they may be. Anyway, the question was about which psychedelics are the most gentle, not which have the least risks.

Remember, RCs aren't a class of drugs. It's just a misleading blanket statement to refer to any newly-discovered or synthesized chemical which has little data on it.
 
I agree with Xorkoth.

Also, the OP asked for our opinions on which psychedelic is the most gentle, not which one to start with. For the latter, there is actually a recent thread just for that in DB.

EDIT: Bah, you actually even mentioned that. Sorry for parroting. lol
 
Of the drugs that people have recommended as gentlest, I have never done 4-AcO-DIPT, 5-MeO-DALT, or 2C-D.

My recommendations from the psychedelics that I have done are 2C-C, low to medium dose 5-MeO-DIPT, and mescaline. YMMV as others have said.

Enough people have taken many of these, that we can rule out immediate toxicity with many of them. Besides, taking any drug is risky. People go to the hospital every week under the influence of LSD or mushrooms. Even though some deaths are associated with some (a-MT, 5-MeO-DiPT)...they still have killed less in 6 years than cocaine, heroin, alcohol do every week.

As far as I am concerned, the "RCs" are very safe drugs. Certainly safer than alcohol, cocaine, or heroin.
 
Although heroin may not be neurotoxic like sniffing paint fumes, enough OD every year that I'd call it a very dangerous drug. Not near as dangerous as alcohol, but far more dangerous than ANY psychedelic.
 
What are the chances a first time user would be able to get their hands on such exotic RC's anyway? Methinks some people just like showing off about which exotics they have personally consumed ;)

You would be supprised. I find RCs extreemly easy to find. Moreso than even LSD and mushrooms.

This is a legit question the OP has asked. Lots of people start out using drugs like salvia and get scarred away from psychadelics all together.

The most gentle psychadelic that i've tried would most definately have to be mescaline. Once you get passed the puking it is great.

Next would have to be LSD. Next would be ketamine then DiPT then 2c-b

Mushrooms have a body load and can be very confusing. 2c-i was rough I found. It was almost an amphetaminic (is that even a word?) psychadelic. These two psychadelics I found to be not very gentle on the mind and body. Mushrooms can be very gentle with the right set and setting, but it can also be forcefull and even scarry.

The least gentle psychadelic I believe is salvia. Salvia is forced into my mind and it definaltely has a body load. It can be rough on both my body and mind. I would never recomend salvia for a first time psychadelic to anyone.

These are just my oppinions tho based on the psychadelics that I have done. I cannot comment on 2c-e or DMT or any others because I have not tried them and don't have first hand experience.
