Mescaline and LSD, no different in effect?

[Sun-Kissed]

Hello everyone.

Earlier today, I watched an old BBC documentary called LSD The Beyond within (quite entertaining, if you’re interested it can be found on YouTube, DocumentaryHeaven, TopDocumentaryFilms, and ThePirateBay) where the claim was made that the subjective experiences induced by mescaline and LSD are indistinguishable. I have never done mescaline. Can anyone confirm, or dispute this claim?

Best wishes

i personally cannot, however i know of several users here who have a particular affinity for the "gentleness" of the cacti over anything else.

all psychedelics are different...

Having read a lot of material, both new and old, on the subjects, I'd say that that's just not true. All psychedelics are different.

...having said that, I've yet to get my hands on peyote/mescaline myself, but considreing the fundamental chemical differences between the two compounds, and from what I've heard from the people I've talked to who have tried it, it really isn't the same, at least not as you up the dose.

LSD and Mescaline are different. Basically Mescaline is smooth and calm with a natural feel whereas LSD is intense and lively with a synthetic feel. I like them both!

Well, the mescaline can give you a stomach ache starting off (depending on how much you take), as for visuals its pretty much the same as taking lsd

I have to agree with P. Eric, mescaline seemed quite a bit more relaxed and easy going, as apposed to LSD, where at times you def have no control what so ever...

Well very less people go for mescaline...they prefer the LSD first for better result!!!

fuckin way different mayn, but if you want a real down home experience go with the natural varieties like cacti, mush and datura...Call it personal preferance, but I find more spiritual value in actual organic plants than in chemical/chemical extracts.

My experiences with them have been the same as Pyschedelic Eric's, and I like both, too, but I prefer mescaline.
