According to one study, commonly reported effects of taking mescaline include the following:. Agitation—an emotional state of nervousness or nervous excitement—can occur out of nowhere when people take mescaline.
It can also result from excessive worrying about other symptoms such as whether hallucinations are real or perceived heart problems. Agitation can quickly turn to panic for people who have taken hallucinogens, which can lead to dangerous agitated behavior such as running off into unsafe environments like city streets with traffic, or rural areas with environmental hazards such as heights, swamps, etc. People who use mescaline may see or hear things that are not there or have no actual basis in reality.
Although hallucinations are an expected or even desired effect of hallucinogenic drugs, sometimes people find them much more troubling or frightening than expected. Although they typically know hallucinations that occur in a mescaline intoxicated state are not real, they can cause a lot of confusion and distress.
Tachycardia , or rapid heart rate is defined as a heart rate of over beats per minute bpm. While there may not be severe physical consequences of tachycardia, a fast heart rate can sometimes create anxiety, which can further speed up heart rate. People can feel panicky, particularly if they are worried that using the drug is causing heart problems. Less common effects included seizures, loss of consciousness, and vomiting. While these more serious effects aren't common, it is important for people to be aware that taking these substances do carry these risks.
Some possible signs that someone might be using mescaline include:. Mescaline is sometimes confused with the Mexican alcoholic beverage mezcal, which, despite drug folklore, is made from agave not cactus and does not contain mescaline. The worm that is sometimes found in a bottle of mezcal does not, as often purported, induce a mescaline high because it does not contain the drug either.
Although mescaline is not particularly well-known as a street drug, it holds a special place in drug culture, particularly among people who use psychedelic drugs who may believe that, like magic mushrooms and marijuana, psychedelic cacti are sacred plants and should be revered due to their origination in nature.
There is no current research suggesting that mescaline use leads to physical dependence, psychological dependence, or addiction. Tolerance does take place, however, and tends to occur quite rapidly. Tolerance means that people need to take more of the drug in order to achieve the same effects. With repeated use, tolerance can occur in as little as three to six days. Cross-tolerance with other drugs such as LSD and psilocybin may also be possible.
The amount of time mescaline stays in the system depends on factors such as an individual's metabolism, hydration levels, body mass, and overall health. Mescaline can be detected in urine for between two to three days but can be detected by hair follicle tests for up to 90 days.
Mescaline does not appear to be addictive, although further research is needed to determine if addiction is possible. That said, any substance that distorts a person's perceptions of reality is potentially harmful, as they can more easily misinterpret reality, or have accidents.
In terms of toxicity, however, evidence may point to mescaline carrying a lower risk than many other recreational drugs. Just because mescaline is "natural" does not mean that it is safe to use. Quitting mescaline does not lead to physical symptoms of withdrawal, but people may experience psychological symptoms that lead them to seek out the drug.
People sometimes utilize substances such as mescaline to self-medicate, to avoid life's problems, or to cope with stress. Giving up mescaline use may require addressing underlying psychological issues first. Treatment for substance misuse and addiction often involves cognitive-behavioral therapy CBT , a process that addresses the underlying thought patterns that contribute to maladaptive behaviors.
It is not uncommon for a combined approach that includes CBT with individual psychotherapy, group therapy, and support groups. Antidepressants , anti-anxiety medications, and other medications may be used to address the symptoms of underlying psychological conditions.
