I have done pure mescaline three times now, but the first two times were over ten years ago - I was still a rookie then. I vomited each time - got high, but not enough to learn its character.
This time I dissolved the mescaline (350 mg HCL, bright white fluffy needles) in distilled water and drank. Much better on the stomach, and faster onset time. Took about an hour and a half to really feel it, and a full two hours to be fully tripping.
It was good. Just a shade less lucid than DMT/Ayahuasca, and only a small shade - very, very sober mind space. I can easily rank the classic psychedelic lucidities: Ayahuasca>Mescaline>LSD>Psilocybin.
I also strongly saw the connection to MDMA. Not the deep jaw clenching love, but the “flowiness” of it. It was stimulating yet tranquilizing simultaneously. No mind fuck at all. When I was with my girlfriend later that night, the “affectionate” side came out more. Not anything approaching a full blown entactogen; but definitely affectionate.
It was like an MDMA “container” filled with LSD flavoured essence, but a more flowy and soft version of it. It was nice. It was chill. It was… if I’m being honest, a wee bit boring. I sat down and meditated and got into a great meditation space, but I can do that on any psychedelic. I appreciated the sober lucidity of it, but ayahuasca delivers that slightly more lucidly, with far more content. I prefer LSD by a wide margin I’ve concluded. If mescaline ever became readily available instead of a rarity, I think I would take it *with* LSD. Though mixing psychedelics usually ends with them “fighting” over the brain, I feel that just as MDMA synergizes well with LSD, so too would mescaline - but unlike MDMA, mescaline would deepen the “entheogenic” side of LSD, and LSD would give more sophisticated content to the more heart centered mescaline, which didn’t have much in the way of mental content.
The entire experience from the time it hit fully, two hours after ingestion, was well over 12 hours, which was very peculiar given how “chill” it was. Mescaline definitely has legs. I do not mind it being as rare as it is now that I have a good idea of what it is, because now I don’t find its rarity such a tragedy for my own personal life - I *much* prefer LSD and ayahuasca, by a long shot - if it were readily available, I would basically only use it as an admixture with LSD to deepen the acid experience, but, acid’s really more than good enough on its own. Happy to have gotten to know it, just wanted to share my experience : )
Regarding nausea: unlike ayahuasca, where the nausea generally passes for me after suppressing the vomiting for an initial period of time, mescaline seemed to be stomach twingey the entire experience. Not to the point that I was at risk of vomiting it, but it was always there - it just kind of faded into the background and I forgot about it, but it never really left. Ayahuasca produces more intense nausea, but it passes for me after a relatively short initial period. Although I usually end up with pretty intense diarrhea with ayahuasca almost every time. Better the backdoor than the front, lol. Ayahuasca did not seem to mess with bowel movements, which was nice - just mild, forgettable, but persistent, nausea throughout. I dunno what changed since the ten years I did it last, but I definitely think the way to go is to dissolve it in water and drink it rather than eat it as a powder.
Having done oral DMT, oral 5-MeO-DMT, psilocybin, LSD, and now mescaline, enough to get a good idea of each of their characters, there’s only one major orally consumed serotonergic entheogen left that I really need to try: ibogaine. I suspect ibogaine will be a lot more interesting, but it gives me “only once in a lifetime” vibes, not regular ally vibes. Bufotenin is also on the list, but it seems like the most difficult to obtain of all the psychedelic rarities. DMT, vaporized or taken orally, and LSD, seem to be my preferred allies. LSD seems to trump mescaline for my purposes, and oral DMT seems better than oral 5-MeO-DMT and psilocybin, and seems like a proper regular ally in contrast to the “sometimes food” that I suspect ibogaine will be - and bufotenin, though it sounds intriguing, also sounds a lot less desirable than DMT itself - and in its vaporized form, DMT itself seems preferable to the vaporized forms of 5-MeO-DMT and bufotenin for the overwhelmingly vast number of users. So, ibogaine’s still on the list, and bufotenin too if I ever run into it - but it basically seems like my proper allies are vaporized or oral DMT, and LSD.
