Hi,
This might be a bit of an atypical post for this subreddit, but since darknet discussion is usually prohibited on the more appropriate subreddits I decided to post this here.
What is up with the relative unavailability of mescaline salts on the darknet? Sure, a handful of vendors do sell it, but compared to other psychedelics like LSD, shrooms, DMT and all of the analogs and RCs out there it is just strangely short in supply and ludicrously expensive.
I also understand that cacti can also be relatively expensive, take time to grow, etc. But I'm sure some of the mescaline hcl out there is not extracted but rather synthesized. With various related phenethylamines like the 2C and DOx series being mass-produced, why is this not the case for mescaline? Is it just not a popular psychedelic, or is there another reason i'm not aware of? Surely it must be /easier/ to synthesize compared to, say, 2CB?
I don't know the prices off-hand, but I know I would expect to pay anything from 20 to 40 or more euros for a single dose of mescaline, whereas LSD is ridiculously cheap..
Just something I've always wondered about. I don't mean for this to sound like a frustrated rant or anything, so sorry if it does come across that way..
Edit: just to make sure: I'm not actively looking for any vendors or anything, no sourcing talk.
1) its not easier to synthesize than 2c-b. it just needs different precursors, which are closely watched by the pigs.
2) you can already prepare mescaline with a nasty cactus tea, and the SMALL userbase who looks for this stuff is more than happy with it
3) you need a good amount of mescaline to trip. 1 gram barely makes it for 3 or 4 good doses. not to mention it is pretty fucking expensive, for the same price you can get another much more potent psychedelic.
4) Its not a fun substance. Mescaline is not "euphoric" like MDMA or even LSD. Its a true entheogen. This is a heavy compound to your nervous system which can make you puke, has a heavy body load to it and will make you dig inside your own mind. Its a drug only true psychonauts go after.
