When Broad Legalization happens..
Single kilos of memantine hydrochloride wholesale for $150/kg. Given the manufacture difficulty being about equal, a same price for a kilo of Mescaline HCl should be feasible.
Let people make their own mistakes. Mescaline is the Rolls Royce of psychedelics. You puke if you abuse it, the nausea is a worthy price to pay, its relatively forgiving of dosing oopsies with its high milligram range.
When Freedom Bells ring on drug war Armistice day, let there be pre-dosed LSD on blotters and glazed microdots for safe keeping, and of course free white Heroin no.4 as is and 3-methylfentanyl in nasal spray bottles, so with its duration like heroin junkies can get their lives back, have a good nights sleep and free of OD's because like LSD its way too potent for lay people to lay it.
MDMA in 120mg tablets, methamphetamine in 3mg tablets, Memantine in 40mg tablets, Methoxetamine in 20mg tablets each splittable in fours.
Cannabisresin among things super finely dispersed in energy drink like concoctions as is done today in US legal states so cannabis people can enjoy their THC/CBD smoke free with high bioavailability. Think brands like Cycling Frog offering non-GMO fruit juice seltzers laced with either 2mg THC+4mg CBD or 5mg THC+10mg CBD. (not available in my country, not holding stock or share in the company)
In the 1960s long defunct RC company Light & Co sold single, 5 and 10gr bottles of mescaline sulfate hydrate dosed 1/4-1.2gr. How sweet a consumer product!
Shrooms, Weed, artisan Hasheesh, 2mg and 10mg Psilocybin pills, 18mg 2C-B pills, its coming baby.
Not to forget cocaine hydrochloride, Ketamine and sanely dosed anabolic steroids, trans hormones, SARMS, SERMS, Ibutamoren etc etc.
The best of the best accessible to the public in public-ready harm reduction packaging inviting responsibe use at unbeatable prices.
I sure do believe that (especially psychedelics) are coming sooner rather than later. I think they'll initially drop on the market at overpriced rates, and then will creep down in price over time, just a hunch. I suspect that the opioids that we see will more likely than not be Bentleys, based off of thebaine from Turkish Poppies for the sake of cheaper manufacture of similarly potent opioids, but that's also just a hunch. THC edibles in legal states also tend to run up to 300-500mg/dose, I was often consuming 2-3.5g of Δ9 THC daily when I was living in Maine. When redosing constantly from waking to sleeping, I could easily put down 100mg of 2C-B too, but all of these are obviously far in excess of what's truly needed for achieving full effects for most people, I'm just short most of my serotonin receptors due to having had 10+ intestinal resections in the past.
Mescaline, hash/rosin, fungi, 2C-X's, 4C-X's, DOx's, their various beta-[MeO/EtO/Me/Et/HO] substituted variants, as well as properly dosed lozenges of 25X-NBXX compounds, coca tea, ketamine and similar things (O-PCE, 2-FXE, MXE, 3-Cl-PCP, 3-F-PCP, PCP, etc), NEP, Hexen, miprocin, ethocin, hormones of all varieties, so many things could be tools that greatly increase quality of life, and if they are distributed through dispensaries with solid CoAs that are cross-validated between various laboratories, I could see the quality remaining high as the prices eventually decrease. Mescalogs such as allylescaline would also be beautiful to see in pressies. The low harm impact of psychedelics, empathogens, and dissociatives will likely lead to their prevalence before stimulants and depressants (NEP, Hexen, amphetamine, phenidates, benzos, etc) imo, but nonetheless, I suspect that a full legalization of the capacity to exhibit chemical autonomy over one's body will find its way to us.
I just also suspect that it'll move in an order bound by the intersection of optics and cost of production. Mescaline/mescalogs from vanilin via bromination and alkylation would lead to those becoming prevalent since they have shockingly low harm potentials, whereas something as "optics-fucked" as a fentalog in a nasal sprayer would probably be later on to get introduced just due to public opinion. As a reminder, I'm speaking from an American (east coast) lens).
Cannabis legalization opened these doors, and psychedelic legalization is now beginning to propagate and it's going to help further things. The last will be those with the worst optics or production costs, and frankly I'm excited to see what unique variants arise.
@Nervewing is highkey my muse (my fiancee refers to them as my "internet partner", just as they refer to Hamilton Morris as my "internet boyfriend" and Claire Saffitz as my "internet girlfriend"), reading their blog posts has been inspirational to me for years and they've mentioned using arylcyclohexylamines that are PCP analogs using 3,4-Methylenedioxybenzene or 2,5-Dimethoxybenzene aromatic substitutions, and seeing these get crossed with varying alkyl groups such as PCiPR, PCPr, PCsBU, etc., and even alterations of the central ring (such as seen in POxP) may be seen. Low dosed benzodiazepines, such as diazepam, bromonordiazepam, clonazepam, etizolam, etc. may also see themselves getting compounded with things like trazodone to be sold as tripkillers.
This entire thread (and the responses therein) are essentially just daydreaming, but I sure do hope that even if they exist in a gray zone, that we will eventually reach a point like this where we can explore
better living through chemistry.
