Iboga medicine also is known to induce nausea, physical discomfort and purging. The Bwiti believe that the only suffering that you experience with iboga medicine comes from your own ego. You can choose fight the medicine and continue the path of suffering; if you do that is a reflection of your approach to life. The suffering you experience during the journey is not created by the medicine, it is your ego projecting future suffering and therefore resisting what is happening the present moment. When another serves us this plant medicine, they blow their breath, their life force right into your nostrils. When someone blows the medicine into our temple, we’re receiving the plant medicine and their energy.

This means they will have diminished effects for up to seven days after your consumption of mescaline, and vice versa. Also keep in mind that peyote has become severely endangered as a natural source of mescaline, so you might want to either avoid plants harvested from the wild or grow an alternative cactus. For reference, San Pedro contains approximately 0.3-2% mescaline (compared to peyote’s 3-6%) and Peruvian torch is thought to have a mescaline content of up to 0.8%. Mescaline can be detected in the urine for one to four days after use, but it’s not included in either standard or extended drug screens. Virtually all labs require a specific test for the substance, so unless your employer is a real stickler and specifically worried that you’ve been frequenting peyote ceremonies, you should be fine. That said, we can trace the popularity of mescaline over time by looking at its appearance in publications and Google searches. Published mentions steadily decreased over the next decade or so, possibly because of the rising popularity of other psychedelics like LSD and psilocybin.

A 400 mg dose of mescaline typically fits into a larger, fully packed capsule without any fillers. Google searches for mescaline have also decreased since 2004, although searches for peyote have remained relatively consistent. Various governments were also interested in mescaline around the same time, but for more self-serving reasons. After discovering the Nazis were using it as a “truth serum” in concentration camps, for example, the CIA funded Project CHATTER to pick up where they left off. This experiment was officially abandoned in 1953, six years after it started. Mescaline binds to virtually all serotonin receptors in the brain but has a stronger affinity for the 1A and 2A/B/C receptors. Structurally, it is similar to LSD and is often used as a benchmark hallucinogen when comparing psychedelics.
