INTRO
Everything you need to know regarding finding and buying plants that contain
mescaline, DMT and harmala alkaloids, and also everything you need to know
about preparing them for traditional consumption or extracting pure alkaloids
from them.
These extraction methods are tried and tested, and have been selected for
simplicity. If you do not have laboratory grade equipment or chemicals,
instructions for easy to get DIY replacements are included.
Mescaline, DMT and harmala alkaloids are ancient non-addictive substances that
have been used safely for thousands of years. Don’t be a fool and confuse them
with dangerous drugs like methamphetamines or “bath salts”.
HISTORY OF MESCALINE AND DMT
CONTAINING PLANTS
The places and dates below are only based on what we have discovered at
various archaeological sites, and only cover a small percent of what has really
been discovered. I am sure that these substances have really been used far more
and for far longer than we think.
Peyote
North Americans have been using peyote for a very long time. Some dried
peyote heads were found in the Shumla Cave in Texas and have been
radiocarbon dated to 5,000 BC, some of this ancient peyote was tested and still
had a 2% mescaline content. Peyote rituals in this area are still going on
unchanged today. They involve elaborate rituals, plenty of singing and music
and are usually held for a specific reason like healing, a baptism, funeral, or a
birthday. Peyote is slow-growing and very rare in the wild, so looking for them
is not so easy and not much of a good idea if you are not from the native tribes.
San Pedro
The use of mescaline rich Trichocereus cacti like San Pedro and Peruvian Torch
dates back at least 2,000 to 2,300 years, judging from carvings and ceramic
objects such as the Naska urns and other items from the Naska and Moche
cultures. Peruvian Salinar style ceramics found in various parts of South
America also show similar-looking cacti. This feline and cactus vessel from
Chavin de huantar in Peru is a good example of this. Although nobody knows
what these vessels were used for, I would say at least some of them must have
held cactus tea at some point.
The following image is of a carving dated to about 1300 BC that was also found
at the ancient centre of Chavin de Huantar in Peru. It shows a cactus that looks
very much like San Pedro being held in a priest’s hand. The way it is being held
also suggests that it could be San Pedro, as this is one of the few cacti that have
small enough thorns to be held like this. I have seen pictures of San Pedro
cuttings taken from plants growing behind Chavin de Huantar, so while it is fun
to debate it there is really no doubt that this is what they were, and still are
consuming there.
