Hi!

I just had a unpleasant experience with San Pedro tar. I took about 1,5g of tar and thought I would be able to get a small feeling of how Mescaline feels like, but the whole experience was quite unpleasant and dark. No euphoria, only a heavy body load with a messed up stomach for the whole day! At +4hrs I did start feeling some positive energy, which lasted for a few hours and slowly subsided to the same heavy body load as in the beginning of the experience.

After this, Im not sure I want to take a bigger dose of the same stuff, maybe I should try purifying it, or something...??

I dont know what went wrong, would a bigger dose cut down on the body load and anxiety, or would it become greater?

While i do not experience any bodyload or anxiety during the comeup, it really starts to kick in at the 4th hour mark. Perhaps part of the anxiety was due to trying a new substance for the first time?

indigestion and non mescaline alkaloids that are active and hit first in my guess..thats how peruvianus goes for me anyway. The initial comeup is not very comfortable for me and I have puked within 20 minutes of taking it once. There is always a psychoactive effect that comes of before the mescaline seems to be really working for me. Maybe mescaline feels like that when it first hits, but within 20 minutes? A few hours in everything gets beautiful.

Do you have prior experience with phenethylamines?

I don't know how you made your tar, but I've done both ethanol extractions as well as full A/B on cactus (dried torch every time)

For me, mescaline hcl and mescaline sulfate are both superior to an ethanol extraction. They feel cleaner with less body load. With that being said, I never experience much body load with any of the above, although I've noticed the crude extracts seem to make me more nauseous and likely to purge. I've also found crude (full spectrum?) extracts tend to last noticeably longer which isn't necessarily a positive in my opinion, mesc lasts long enough on its own.

If I were you I would try purifying your extract and going from there. Worst case scenario you just aren't a fan of mescaline, best case scenario you will have one of the best days of your life

Thanks for chiming in!

I made the tar by slowly simmering the cactus chunks, and collecting the brew (3x) and evaporating the liquid.

It might be that I just did not know what to expect, and hence the mostly negative vibes.

I will try to make a cleaner extract out of the tar, and hopefully the experience would be a bit cleaner and more friendly..

alert: No I dont have any prior experience with Phenethylamines.
