I have successfully used the amazing CIELO tek to extract monomescaline citrate. Next Saturday is going to be the big day, and I am not certain of the dosage I should pick. I was thinking of going with 800mg (which would be ~496mg hcl or 432mg freebase mescaline for reference).

Some background: I am not particularly insensitive to psychedelics. 20mg of 2C-B already gives me some nice visuals. Having said that, despite responding well to just 20mg, I prefer dosages in the 40+ mg range. At that dosages I really have to try and focus to do stuff such as putting on a different song, but the trip is so much more fun. Even at those higher dosages, I REALLY enjoy adding Nitrous Oxide for those crazy experiences where the entire world just dissolves into nothingness filled with insanely detailed and colorful patterns. Awesome experience for those that haven't tried :-)

One time, one of those experiences caused me to see a demonlike figure that was laughing as it approached me, and give me a hug which I was certain was going to kill me. Despite it being a relatively frightening moment, I handled it well and I still had an enjoyable rest of the trip as the effects of the Nitrous Oxide rapidly lessened.

I have also tried ~20ish mg 2C-B at festivals and parties which I found enjoyable as well.

I also have experience with dissociatives. Mainly ketamine, but also some Methoxetamine. On top of that, I have done Truffles once. While I enjoyed it, and was happy I did it, I did experience a lot of thoughts loops, where one thing made me think of another thing, which made me think of yet another thing, which brought me back to think about the first thing that started this loop, which happened over and over again. From what I understand, Mescaline does not really cause these thought loops. Is my understanding correct?

Lastly, I have done Mescaline once before. It was a tea brewed from 60g of (unknown strength) cactus powder. While it was enjoyable with some decent OEVs and very pretty CEVs, I really wished it would be much stronger than what I experienced. It felt super warm and gently at all times (even more so than 2C-B, which is already super mild), and I really have trouble imagining anyone could have a bad trip on this, even at higher dosages.

So, with that information out of the way, do you think 800mg would be fine? I will be taking it at home with 3 of my very best friends. We have some forests nearby that we could visit if we feel like being closer to nature. All in all, set and setting will be absolutely perfect. I have had the wish to experience what mescaline can offer from back in 2015 (when I bought my first San Pedro) until now. That plan got postphoned several times due to all kinds of reasons, and the one experience I did have was severely lacking. I am REALLY looking forward to it, but I want to be absolutely sure the experience won't be lacking like last time. Thoughts?
