Ok, I will start out by stating that my use of psychedelics is rather limited. I have only used salvia, mushrooms, and LSD. Mushrooms have had the most profound effect on me out of the three, and considerably so. On 9/11/2005 I tripped on mushrooms and had a very, very, enlightening transcending experience that literally determined the course of my life from then on out. I literally mapped out my life, and how I could achieve my dreams. This was a startling experience. It was as if I was communicating directly with this greater reality, and I was seeing my life unfold before my eyes. I find that the hardest part about dealing with psychedelics is integrating the insight one gains into their everyday lives. But this trip allowed me to immediately integrate what I was learning into my daily life. Ever since then I am on the path to my dreams. At this point in time, September 6, 2007, I can everything within my reach. Since my revelation on 9/11, I have been taking careful steps to prepare myself for my future that I have planned out in my mind. I am at the point in my life where shit is with the "life plan" that I created that wonderful/bizzarre night. Now that my life is unfolding just as I hoped, I am faced with a huge decision..There is one last step that I need to do to tie it all together, and the anticipation as well as the wait is killing me. I have not needed a psychedelic experience since the night of transcendence. I am steadfast in my belief that God will guide me to the right path. Lately, I have been reading and studying about the effects of mescaline. From what I can gather, the experience brings along a strong feeling of connection to all things in the universe. I am thinking that I might experiment with this psychoactive substance, because I feel it might provide clarity and insight on how to tie my entire life together, or "connect-the-dots" so to speak. If anyone has tried mescaline and can offer any insight, it would be greatly appreciated. It is the time in my life when I must define myself and my aspirations. I do not personally feel that the use of psychedelics is neccessary to do this. But I do feel that mescaline could possibly be the mental tool/teacher that show me how to tap into the infinite sea of creativity. (By the way my hopes and dreams are that of creating the most funky/progressive/unprecedented music of all time)
It seems to me that your desire to take mescaline would be for completing the third of the big 3- lsd, shrooms, mescaline. so the idea of taking it would seem new and intriguing. but in reality a psychedelic is a psychedelic, its not all about the type of chemical you are taking, its about the setting and state of mind you are in when you go on a trip. Basicaly what I am saying is I wouldnt expect something new and different from mescaline. If you are content with youself and do not desire another psychedelic experience then thers realy no need to go on one just because its a different chemical. So if you want to experiment with this psychoactive substance, to provide clarity and insight on how to tie your entire life together, or "connect-the-dots" so to speak. then this can be achieved with any psychedelic- its about mind over matter. If you want my experiences with mescaline- I would say its similar to lsd, but not as stong.
You say that mescaline wasn't as strong as lsd. Really? So would it be advised to try mescaline as their first psychedelic? As a safer and less intense trip?
I hear that is has an over dose limit, unlike shrooms and lsd were there isn't one that can be readly reached. J.C
Well those are some very interesting thoughts. I'm at a similar point in my life and I hope you can find the answers you're looking for. What instrument do you play? I play bass and have very similar musical desires to yourself
