My experience is here.
Hey Apollo.....the link is not working
well..... this is based on my own observations and experiences, feel free to correct me if you guys think I am making a mistake here.
Mescaline is found in few cactus plants.... specially the
Lophophora (peyotes) and
Trichocereus (San Pedros, Peruvians, etc) families of cactus.
Lophophora take many years to grow, can take up to 10-20 years to grow half or near of the size of a tennis ball and they have higher levels of mescaline, I call my peyote pups/cactus "chemical factories"
because Lophophora is reported to contain:
N-acetyl-3-methoxy-4,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, alanine, anhalamine, anhalidine, anhalinine, anhalonidine (14% of the total alkaloids), anhalonine, anhalotine, 3,4-dihydroxy-5-methoxyphenethylamine, epinine, dopamine, 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine, N-acetylanhalamine, N-acetylanhalonine, N-formylanhalamine, N-formylanhalinine, N-formylanhalonidine, N-formylanhalonine, N-formyl-O-methylanhalonidine, N-formyl-3-methoxy-4,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, glycine (8% of the total alkaloids), hordenine, 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine (1 to 5% of the total alkaloids), isoanhalamine, isoanhalonidine, 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxy-N-methylphenethylamine, isoanhalidine, isopellotine, lophophorine (5% of the total alkaloids), 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxy-N,N-dimethoxyphenethylamine, lophorine, lophotine iodide, mescaline (30% of the total alkaloids), mescaline citrimide, mescaline malaimide, mescaline maleimide, mescaline succinimide, isocitrimide lactone mescaline , N-acetylmescaline, N-formylmescaline, N-methylmescaline, mescalotam, 3-methoxytyramine, 3-methoxy-N-methyltyramine, 3-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltyramine, O-methylanhalonidine, O-methylpeyoxylic acid, O-methylpeyoruvic acid, N-methyltyramine, pellotine (17% of the total alkaloids), peyoglunal, peyoglutam, peyonine, peyophorine, peyouvic acid, peyotine iodide, peyoxylic acid, tyramine.
While its been reported that dried peyotes contain about 2-6% of mescaline while fresh peyotes contain about 0.4-1.0% of mescaline. (This is not from my studies, just observed from other websites.)
Peyote is one of the slowest growing plants in existence, taking 10-20 years or more to mature. Older cacti are generally much higher in alkaloids than young plants. The very oldest plants are worshiped by the Indians as "Father or Grandfather Peyote". They are often kept as amulets or placed on a crescent alter to be revered as a sacred object.
The best way to grow Lophophoras faster is to graft them onto Trichocereus cactus.
***take a other deep breath***
Now .... with
Trichocereus it's reported to contain: mescaline (0.11 - 2.3% ), 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenethylamine, 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, anhalonidine, anhalinine, hordenine, tyramine, 3-methoxytyramine.
In my opinion since it takes so fucking long to grow peyotes, is this what I do, I eat 10-15cm "cob" of the Trichs and finish off with 2-4 five year old peyotes (they are about the size of 20 cent peice, there or so).... thats the trick I have learnt while saving your peyote babies from excintion.
It's competely LEGAL to grow them from seeds or cuttings, but it's ILLEGAL to consume them...
There's several suppliers in Australia will post them nationawide, but not cheap, costs about $20-30 for approx 20-40 seeds depending which supplier you get them from. There's a supplier/grower in Sydney happy to drive to your door with a tray of peyotes and you choose whatever you can afford from the tray
They usually costs about $25 for 2-3 year old peyote or about $100 for a 10 year old peyote or $200-$400 for 15-20 year old peyote.
You need to eat about 6-10 approx 3 year old peyotes to get the profounded trippy effects......lasting for several hours, very different... not "hallucations" like shrooms, LSD, etc... its more of "ripple/mental/closed eye" type of hallucations.
Remember when you eat these cactus.... you will be very very fucking sick, throwing up like hell for 30-40mins and these cactus is VERY bitter... more bitter than these "party chemicals".... the indians believed that throwing up is good, it "cleans" the system out of toxins and shit like that and get yourself "ready" for the "ride" to the "god". But once you throw up... after that... its pretty pleasant from my past experience.
Hope helps a bit and sorts out the common misunderstandings on the "mescaline" :D
