Mescaline

[LiveWIRE]

Mescaline, like marijuana, is a naturally occurring psychedelic that is obtained in several cactus plants like Peyote and San Pedro. It's basically used as a recreational drug, for going into trances, meditation, and psychedelic psychotherapy

What does it do?

[LiaAtha]

Put bluntly, mescaline produces hallucinations. The user gets a more intense experience, like when he sees a guy in a red shirt, the red is more vibrant for him. Colors are more brilliant and intense... visual hallucinations are quite common.

They can cause the user to see a kaleidoscope world, specially when he closes his eyes and in the dark.

sounds like an LSD trip to me

Well, it is similar, but unlike LSD, the hallucinations with mescaline are rooted in reality. LSD trips are more fantastical, seeing things that are not there. Mescaline only heightens your senses.

Also, mescaline hallucinations tend to make three-dimensional objects look flat.

I am surprised that mescaline is legal... specially if you're Native American and you use this for your ceremonies.

It all depends on the state if they allow it.
