Does Mescaline have a similar toxicity profile to MDMA?
    #9316123 - 11/26/08 10:54 AM (15 years, 2 months ago)

someone told me that:

"Mescaline is actually a close chemical relative to MDMA (it is trimethoxy-phenethylamine, and MDMA by that chemical nomenclature is 3,4-methoxy-phenethylamine). It also acts almost identically to MDMA, its only difference being that it is a specific 5-HT reuptake inhibitor, it targets 5-HT2A, specifically in cortical neurons (whereas MDMA non-specifically targets all 5-HT neurons).

Its toxicity profile is actually very similar to MDMA, except that it also posses some similar effects to potent harmaline (scopalamine, etc.) MAOIs .. which lead to irreversible ocular damage, and a few other things. The other problem is that if you take mescaline in the form of peyote cactus, you are also ingesting hundreds of the other alkaloids in peyote, some of which have similar activity to mescaline, some which have no activity at all, and some which have toxic activity when P-450 metabolized. So all in all, the toxic profile of mescaline is relatively similar to MDMA."


i think they are full of shit.

I definitely don't think so.

To my knowledge, it doesn't release heaps of serotonin like MDMA does.

Even though the two drugs are structurally similar, their mode of action is different.

Isn't MDMA an amphetamine, not a phenethylamine? 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine.

Either way, I'm quite sure that's bs. I've never heard of mescaline being dangerous before. It does not release serotonin or deplete your reserves either way which is what causes the damage from mdma.

A little bit of misinformation in this post.  Mescaline (and LSD and Psilocybin/Psilocin) are 5-HT2a receptor AGONISTS.  They bind to the receptor and one theory is that they cause hallucination by causing standing waves across the synapse.  Kind of like the signal bounces back and forth across the nerve synapse.  A 5-HT2a reuptake inhibitor will stop the psychedelic effects, i.e. Seroquel, an
anti-psychotic and Trazodone, an anti-depressant and anti-anxiety drug are examples.

They are about as similar as psilocin is to DMT... (Infact, mush and DMT is MORE related than Mesc and MDMA...)

maybe if you took them as much as a kandi kid took e their might be damage if you took E as occasionally as people take mescaline there wouldnt be a risk of damage either. i can say that taking every weekend cant be good for you. having taken p torch the past two weekends i gota say its better to space it out way more

ding ding ding! tell him what he's won...

The confidence the mescaline is not a harmful alkaloid. The dose required to produce harmful effects are pretty damn near impossible to ingest from natural sources.

Yes. Both are hardly toxic at all. You would have to eat a crazy amount to do any harm.

Don't you have to eat only about 10x the average dose on both? Something like a gram of mdma and 10g of mescaline. That's very achievable.

Once a week for months IMHO probably won't cause any harm. I'm talking once off lethal dose. I can bet there is many a Shaman who takes it once a week...

There's a guy on the nexus who has been taking it every day for three weeks.

Says there is little to no tolerance.
