Your getting most of the alkaloids anyway if you make a tea because they are water soluble, where if you ate them whole, you will digest the plant matter and likely feel a bit ill, but if you are going to be tripping with a user that takes it for spiritual purposes, they may take the whole nauseating experience as a significant part of the trip.

Making a tea doesn't equal a mescaline extraction.

Of course, but he did mention making a tea in his post.

I believe there would be a difference because along with mescaline there are other alkaloids that can subtly or not so subtly change a trip. I think the same goes for any cactus vs eating extracted mescaline.

So, I just met a friend who is a navajo indian and has access to the navajo reservation. I'm meeting him today to smoke some weed and talk about some shit. Him and I are taking a trip next month to arizona to the navajo reservation and I'm getting peyote. He's already told me that HE will need to buy it and I will give him the money (I totally thought they just went out to the middle of nowhere and picked some peyote but no, you have to buy it from a shop I guess.) He told me to bring about $150 for the peyote.

He doesn't mind doing this for me, as he has a card that enables him to have peyote ANYWHERE in the usa, he can even take it onto an airplane, as we're going to be going on the plane.

I'm just curious, is there any difference in experience between eating the actual peyote cactus (or making a tea or whatever choice of ingestion) and eating a mescaline extraction? Thanks.

Also, for those who know, will $150 be enough to get 2 doses of peyote? The first dose I want to dose low so I know what to expect, and then the second time I do it, I want to "break through" but not have too strong of a trip. I don't want to be tripping for a whole day or anything like that. lol. So, thanks.

there is a difference in between taking mesc by itself and peyote. this is because peyote contains more than 50 other alkaloids besides mesc, many which can have an effect on the trip or be psychoactive on their own. now if you make a wide range alkaloid extraction from peyote, such as an acid/base extraction, all the other alkaloids will be there with the mesc. the main difference in the trip from an extraction of peyote and eating eat it, is avoiding the nausea from all the ass-tasting plant material being ingested, although even pure mesc and the other alkaloids can make you nauseated if you take a large dose all at one time. you'll probably buy the dried buttons, weighing the material is much more accurate than just eating x number of butttons. 30 grams should have 300+ mgs mescaline. i reccomend you to eat no less than a half gram mesc, so 50 gms or more dried peyote(although personally i'd go a gram). you will most likely experience some nausea, don't fight it, puke if you need to, it will "help purify you", and you'll feel much better. enjoy your vacation, lucky
p.s. if you don't like it after you try it, i'd be glad to take it off your hands

Occollegeboi, make sure to try a bridgesii or San Pedro trip after you've indulged in peyote so you can tell us guys in the cheap seats how the holy rollers do it.

The friend I met does not like peyote himself. He said it makes him "trip out" too much and he does not like the nausia. He says you feel better after you vomit though. 

I already told my friend I don't want to do the peyote in a sweat lodge or anything like that because it would make me have a bad trip in that heat. 

He says that I can buy it either in button form or in powder form. 

How will peyote make my body feel? Will it be very relaxing like shrooms or a little speedy like acid?

---

it's going to be *way* more speedy than acid, with a strong amphetamine like quality to it as you go up in dosage. low doses aren't really that speedy though. it really doesn't matter if it's buttons or powder if you're going to make tea, other than a step is out of the way. it would be cool though to get buttons so you can show pics of them here, and so you can keep the buttons longer that you don't use. have a good time!

Damn the Mexican "shamans" I met were way different, they went down to Mexico and hunted the peyote themselves and he would offer me the peyote for free, said it's in bad spirit to ask for money in return but a trade of my promise was all he wanted that I'd pass on the word of love the peyote would share with me. I still wear the bandana he wrapped it in to this day which he claimed was "blessed" I feel in a way it's given me luck. But meh Indians are greedy with their stuff he will probably give you A button for that $150 and tell you someshit like "if the peyote spirit wants you to take the journey, a quarter of this button should be more than enough" lol

Never stepped foot in mexico I lived around the corner from the man himself who would go out to Mexico to pick peyote, he also went out there once a year to pick mushrooms

i see, very interesting indeed
