I dosed 35mg of escaline at noon after finishing a breakfast of fruit and yogurt. I had never tried mescaline or any analogues before. Within about 30 minutes I was starting to feel spaced out and definitely nervous. I put on headphones, lay in bed listening to Pink Floyd, and slipped into an almost sleep-like state of peace for about 45 minutes.
When I got up and walked around, the psychedelic effects became much more apparent. Not mind-bending, and visuals were subtle at most, but occasionally I would look at something and feel like I was seeing it from more than one angle simultaneously. My muscles were tense, particularly my abs, and the tension created pressure on my stomach. I started salivating heavily and vomited a mouthful.
I took a hot shower immediately, which felt incredible on my constricted muscles. Afterward I felt a wave of regret for dosing without a clear plan or intention. I could have taken 20mg and learned the same things about my response. I lay in bed and cried briefly, acknowledging that I use too many drugs.
But I pulled myself out of that space quickly and moved to another room to do yoga and dance. This is where everything transformed. I vaped some cannabis and returned to movement. The experience became genuinely beautiful. I would hold a yoga pose, feel the psychedelic energy coursing through my tense muscles, then burst into precise, energetic dancing as the music built.
Every breath felt like inhaling something stimulating and electric. My muscles, which had been uncomfortably tight while sitting still, became assets during movement -- they responded quickly and precisely to every beat. I was in a state of genuine ecstasy.
Mid-pose I had a realization: if yoga felt this extraordinary on a psychedelic, then I could work toward achieving something similar through dedicated practice alone. The substance was showing me a potential that already existed in my body. The total duration was about 6-7 hours with a gentle comedown. I consider this a valuable introduction to the phenethylamine psychedelic space.
