Used for thousands of years by thousands of tribes, mescaline has been the shamanic substance of choice due to its strong hallucinogenic and mind altering qualities. Access to this drug is quite simple as it is found within many cacti that grow in the wild, the most common being peyote, San Pedro, and Peruvian torch. Mescaline itself is illegal to obtain as well as the largest bearer of the drug, peyote. Luckily for us "landscapers," both San Pedro and Peruvian Torch are perfectly legal to own. Of course this also means that it is perfectly legal to order them via the net. Be aware that is illegal to prepare these two cacti in order to obtain the mescaline high from them. Now- let's get a little more in-depth... Mescaline comes in many concentrations, extracts, and from several different sources. This makes dosing mescaline quite difficult. As a general guide here is an estimated amount of how much mescaline is contained in several dry species: Peyote - 3% (but can vary anywhere from 1-6%); San Pedro - 2%; Peruvian - 0.8%. For simple dosage, normally a 4-8 inch cut of a San Pedro cactus will be enough to bring on the full hallucinogenic state. Dosage by pure mescaline is as follows: Threshold - 100mg; Moderate - 300mg; Heavy - 700mg; Lethal - 370mg/kg. Mescaline effects: If you're familiar with the transcendentalists and their thought patterns, chances are you are familiar with mescaline. Mescaline, a schedule I hallucinogen, is quite similar to trips derived from acid or psilocybin/shrooms. While on mescaline, thought processes become deeper and more rapid, but at the same time one is overwhelmed with a sense of euphoria. A sense of becoming one with nature and one's self is another common feeling that accompanies the mescaline trip. Unlike shrooms or acid, a mescaline trip often has little or no "come down" and after the trip many will feel mentally "cleansed" or "rejuvenated." For these reasons many connoisseurs of hallucinogens, including shamans, choose mescaline over acid or shrooms. There are several drawbacks to mescaline. For one, mescaline containing cacti like peyote or San Pedro have a very bitter and almost intolerable taste. Also, stomach pains and nausea are more common with mescaline than other hallucinogens. If you're able to get over these two aspects, a mescaline trip often results in mind altering and evolutionary changes in your perception that no other hallucinogen is known to mimic. Mescaline preparation: This section is going to pertain mainly to San Pedro since peyote normally comes in easy to ingest "buttons". For the peyote user, we will be talking about the process of which you extract mescaline from cacti. As a rule of thumb, it normally takes a 4-8 inch cutting of San Pedro to reach the desired effects. Keep in mind this article is simply to expose you to the possibilities of this plant, not to actually provide you with instruction. Do not repeat any of these steps on your own as it could lead you your own self destruction. Method 1 - fresh cuttings to consumable beverage: The first step of this process is to skin the cactus as well as remove it's spines. Do not throw the skin away as it has a fairly high mescaline content. Instead one should put the skin into a fairly large pot. Next, in the same pot, mash the remaining components of the cactus. Now, add water so the skin and mashed up parts of the cactus are completely submerged. Cook the cactus at a low boil for several hours (at least 2-3). The remaining water can then be further boiled down to the desired thickness. Drink this beverage and you should feel the effects in a half hour or so. Method 2 - drying the cacti: Drying a cactus such as San Pedro or Peyote is quite simple. First, you must slice the cactus into 1/2 inch slices. Next, allow the slices to dry either in the sun or in the oven at a low heat (200-250 degrees Fahrenheit). After completely dried, simply consume the desired amount of cactus. Now I know it should be common sense, but let me remind you that the spines must be removed either before drying or ingesting... unless of course you enjoy puncturing your intestines. Method 3 - extraction: Unfortunately the process of extracting mescaline is a fairly involved chemical procedure, because of this we have decided to link out to: http://diseyes.lycaeum.org/cact/mescfmpd.txt - This extraction method seems to work well and the instructions are written clearly. The purchase of a cactus that contains mescaline is unbelievably simple. While the most infamous cactus, peyote, is quite illegal, there are several other mescaline containing cacti that are readily available for legal purchase. Note that these cactus are sold for gardening/landscaping only. One should not allude to, let alone think of, using them for their psychoactive properties. This could result in dangerous outcomes for the individual. For those avid cactus farmers out there, click the following links to purchase the cacti.
