Oh man.. Not really sure where to begin. So maybe Ill just start with my story at the beginning, because with Mescaline its a journey, a culmination of past experiences to give you the present.
I first tried Mescaline as a teenager. Being a youngin that was obsessed with psychedelics and drugs at the time (still am hehe) I felt Mescaline was an obvious that needed to be tried. I dont remember my exact age but Im guessing I was 17ish maybe.
I got myself a credit gift card and bought it from the company that was later raided by the feds (you all probably remember them, poor guys.) And not long after I got my first 12in cutting.
Little did I know just how much impact this cactus would have on my life in the future but at the present moment all I knew was I wanted to get tRiPpY! Brewed that puppy up with my dad in the kitchen and then tried my best to drink it..
Of course no matter how much you try to prepare yourself, that taste.. That fucking taste.. I made it through 6in.. And could no longer go on lol.
After a bit I remember thinking nothing was going to happen so I take off to go hang with friends. As I left in the car I remember the drive taking on a new dimension. I wasnt tripping per se but it just felt like everything was in perfect synchronization. The music was flowing perfectly to the world around me, it felt like everything was exactly where it should be at exactly the right time.
And began my love with the subtle yet powerful effects of Mescaline..
Over the years my use of the medicine began to grow as I found its benefits. Every time Id use Mescaline it felt like my life would get back on track for months afterwards, I found my life purpose thanks to the use of Mescaline as well as DMT. It took me out of the darkest point in my life, like no other drug could.
This dark point I speak of was about 5yrs ago now and it was at this point I realized that Mescaline would be a great additive long term as a medicine to use periodically a few times throughout the year. Before this it was a once or twice at most a year thing.
I began using it 4-5times a year religiously and my mood, motivation, everything became so much better.
Let me back track a second here because this change of heart on use came after one particular experience.. It occurred 3 days after Shulgins passing, and it was quite literally a life changing experience. It was this trip that opened my eyes to just how much I needed this in my life. (Trip Report available online if anyone would like me to link it.)
During this experience I was gifted an infinite amount of love and compassion for all of mankind. This was very important for me at the time as I was in a phase of hating lots of people due to a nasty breakup of a long term relationship. My ex was with me during this trip and I was able to accept her being with someone else and to allow myself to open up to someone else as well. (We did get back together and are still together to this day.)
So I began to actively work with this teacher as the new agers would call it. Every time Id take it, I felt I was getting deeper into understanding who I was and why I was put on this earth. (In a nutshell Im here to provide as many experiences like this as I can to those around me.). With this understanding it allowed me to function better in my day to day life. I mean, work isnt bad if you truly know in the deepest depths of your heart that the money you make could be used to help others, I fantasize about turning on the world more or less and it pushes me in life to be stable myself so that I can actually help others. You cant help others if you yourself need help.
I also found that during every experience after this powerful one I spoke of, I was given more and more responsibilities for lack of a better word. For some context, I often consume Mescaline at small local festivals run by people Im familiar with because thats the place I feel the safest doing so. Every time Id trip on Mesc, Id often have some poor soul tripping nutz stumble out of the crowd towards me like Im a beacon of light asking for my assistance. And Ill never say no..
This has become the norm ever since. I now expect someone to need my help when I take Mescaline at a festival and have zero expectations about dancing or having fun. It kinda sucked at first because who doesnt just want to have a good time, but its infinitely more rewarding when you essentially save someone from themselves. And better than that, actually make it a positive experience for them.
One time in particular, the Mesc was just setting in and I was skipping up towards a stage ready for a good night. As Im going I see my brothers friend pass by and we make quick hellos. But something just didnt feel right.. I go up and ask him how hes doing. His smile instantly fades and he starts stumbling on his words, I tell him not to worry about trying to tell me, I already know where hes heading.
I put my arm around him and we attempt to get him back to his camp. On the walk we have to stop to allow a vehicle to park and he cowers into my arm like a little child (this is a man in his 30s.) I know at this point the fear is taking hold. We eventually get him back and I thought wed be in the clear but he lost the plot real quick.
To make a very long story very short.. We spent the next 5hrs in his tent, me literally crouched by him comforting him the entire time. He was in full ego loss mode and not taking it well at all, I could hear the fear in his voice and knew I was his only tether to this reality.
To give perspective, I barely knew this guy. Yet I was the only one he wanted to or could even communicate with. It felt like the Mescaline allowed me to bridge the gap. All his friends had no idea who I was and were a little weirded out that some stranger was caring for their friend. (Soon as he came back he explained who I was.)
After 5hrs of holding space he abruptly came out of it and was instantly just like Im back man, Im back! Id never been so relieved in my life.. During his re-entry I then began to spin the experience in a positive light. Saying.. Look at what you just made it through, the strength and resilience you showed. If you can push through that, what else can stop you?
That guy was beyond grateful and according to him, I saved his life. In response, since hes a tattoo artist, he gave me a badass sleeve for cheap, some of the sessions were free.
Its moments like these that only solidified my belief in karma. Give til it hurts and receive everything youll ever want or need.
I wish I could say that experience above was an outlier, but it wasnt.. Mescaline kept giving me this message that I was here to help others whether I actually wanted to or not.
So from then on thats what I expected.. Until last year.
Last year was a lot of change for me. And when Id have a chance to use Mescaline I instead opted for LSD as I was just looking for a fun escape moreso than anything. I lost sight of why I was here and it seemed like I wasnt able to clear my vision to see the big picture again.
To make matters worse, after years of using Mescaline I had come to EXPECT what it had given me. When using multiple psychedelic medicines for a variety of things, it became hard to remember or differentiate what did what. I somehow lost the importance of Mescaline.
This last year was rough. It kept getting progressively worse and I couldnt figure out why. My usual resilience was falling away and with the last year that I had, I could have used it. It wasnt until a month ago did I start to think when the last time I used it was, and it all started to make sense.
Over a week ago I dove back in using Mescaline acetate from Achuma cactus. And everything I thought I was losing came right back. My motivation to better not only myself but others, energy levels, happiness, etc.
It was this latest experience that tells me this will be a substance I use for life. This is hands down the best psychedelic Ive found for long term mental stability. If only Mescaline could be gifted as easily as DMT or LSD, this world would be a lot better off.
Im a true believer that turning people on can change the world, but no one psychedelic drug can do it. It takes an army as they say, but if there was any one drug that could, Mescaline would be the closest.
Really hope that came out well, I never make posts like this because I dont often express myself well when talking on these subjects.
Some other random notes from someone whos worked a lot with San Pedro and to a lesser extent Achuma..
Achuma is definitely a lot more potent but the feel of the experience is different too, less happy go lucky, more serious. After using both, Achuma is slowly growing on me as a favorite.
To get the most potent cuttings possible. Grow yourself from cuttings bought online, and use all the new growth for your experiences. Ive found the top growth gets more potent the more you cut it. I believe most of the alkaloids are located in the soft fleshy green tops that dont have strong spines to protect them yet.
I also finally stumbled upon the legendary 3 day trip after using Achuma this last time. I believe certain Achuma and Peyotes have alkaloids that greatly extend the experience. I took a light dose thank god but was still getting visuals 72hrs after dosing. This hasnt happened on other Achuma cacti though, so I assume its not super common.
In regards to Mescaline at festivals. It?s also great for a number of reasons.. It lasts a long time so your feeling groovy for awhile and it will potentiate other psychedelics the next night. It mixes well with MDMA. It?s the perfect psychedelic to use earlier on during the festival as it doesn?t drain you. And of course, back to my point above, it turns you into a being of light.
Also to any mods reading.. I know synthesis discussion isnt allowed, but what about purification/extraction info? I know purification threads have been allowed before, and really what is an extraction beyond a complicated purification process?
Thanks for reading..
