Mescaline - Mescaline Mescaline (C11H17NO3, 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine hydrochloride is also effective)) is a hallucinogenic drug and entheogen. It is either extracted from the peyote cactus (Lophophora williamsii or Anhalonium lewinii), the San Pedro cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi), the Peruvian Torch (Trichocereus peruvianus) or created synthetically (from 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde, nitromethane, cyclohexylamine and acetic acid, initially) forming white crystals. Effective dosage is 200-400mg (3.75 mg/kg) with the effects lasting for up to twelve hours. Extract from peyote it was used in religious ceremonies from the earliest human contact, notably by the Huichols in Mexico. Because of this mescaline has become the standard against which other compounds are compared. There are four natural analogues of mescaline which are also used. It was first isolated and identified in 1897 by the German Arthur Heffter.
Ken Kesey - and communication and was an Olympic-caliber wrestler. He was awarded a Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship in 1958; he moved to Palo Alto, California to enroll in the creative writing program at Stanford University. At Stanford in 1959, he volunteered to take part in a study at the Menlo Park Veterans Hospital on the effects of psychoactive drugs such as LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, and amphetamine IT-290. He wrote many detailed descriptions of his experience with these drugs, both during the study and in his own experimentation. It was at this time he wrote One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which caught the attention of many, including "beat" poet Neal Cassady, who had accompanied Jack Kerouac on the trip described in Kerouac's On the Road. With the commercial success of his first novel.
Entheogen - taking psychedelic drugs for recreational, and not spiritual/religious purposes. Entheogenic plants or chemicals can provoke in human beings an enlargement of usual consciousness, in which there is a kind of contemplative or meditative experience. See also Hallucinogenic drug DXM ketamine PCP, Psilocybin LSD MDMA Mescaline Peyote DMT.
Ernst Jünger - not directly but as a figure of intellectual inspiration. After the war his books were forbidden for a few years. Jüngers The Peace (German: Der Friede), written in 1943 and published in 1947, marked the end of his involvement in politics. Jünger refused to appear at a "Denazification"-tribunal. His diaries from 1939 to 1949 were published under the title Strahlungen (1948). In the 1950s and 1960s Jünger travelled extensively. His first wife, Gretha, died in 1960, and in 1962 he married Liselotte Lohrer. Ernst Jünger has been among the forerunners of "Magic Realism". Jünger's future-visions of an overmechanized world threatens individualism described in The Glass Bees (German: Gläserne Bienen) (1957) could be seen as "Science Fiction". Throughout his whole life he has experimented with drugs as: ether, cocaine, and hashish; thirty.
Drug addiction - on Drugs argue that like Prohibition, the 1920s attempt to control alcohol, the War on Drugs may actually be counter-productive. Instead, they call for the total or partial legalization of currently illegal addictive drugs. Classes of drugs regulated by the U.S. Controlled Substances Act: Depressants Hallucinogens Narcotics Stimulants Anabolic steroids Drugs in particular and groups of drugs including Licit Drugs and Chemicals of Concern, as listed on the DEA website: Methamphetamine and other Amphetamines OxyContin Cocaine LSD Heroin Ketamine Marijuana MDMA (Ecstasy) Steroids other club drugs Anorectic Drugs Barbiturates Benzodiazepines Buprenorphine Butorphanol Cannabis Chloral hydrate Codeine Dextroproxyphene Fentanyl Glutethimide Methaqualone Hashish Hashish oil Hydrocodone Hydromorphone (Dilaudid®) Inhalants Khat LAAM Meperidine Meprobamate Methadone Methcathinone Methylphenidate (Ritalin) Morphine Opium Pentazocine (Talwin®) Paraldehyde (Paral®) Peyote Mescaline Phencyclidine (PCP) Psilocybin & Psilocyn & other Tryptamines.

2C-B - the Deputy Administrator of the DEA proposed to place 4-bromo-2,5-DMPEA into Schedule I making 2C-B illegal in the United States. This became permanant law July, 2 1995. Recently a 2C-B has been distributed under the street name "Nexus." In the past 2C-B has also been distributed as "Eve" and "Venus" and "bromo-mescaline." Not much information is known about the toxicity of 2C-B. 2C-B's hallucinogenic effects are probably explained by the fact that the drug binds to serotonin receptors. Because 2C-B lacks an alpha-methyl group it is not considered an amphetamine such as MDMA, MEA, methamphetamine, or fenfluramine. 2C-B does not seem to deplete the brain of serotonin, and this suggests that it probably does not share the neurotoxic properties of some amphetamines. It must be made clear that this information is.
2C-T-7 - by Alexander Shulgin, and has structural and pharmacodynamic properties similar to the drugs Mescaline, MDMA, and Paramethoxyamphetamine. In Shulgin's book PIHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), the dosage range is listed as 10 to 30 mg. Chemically 2C-T-7 is 4-propylthio-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, with the formula C12H21O2NS. 2C-T-7, has been sold on the street under the names "Blue Mystic" and "Tweetybird Mescaline". Around the year 2000, 2C-T-7 began to change from an obscure chemical to a drug used at parties and clubs in North America and Europe as it became available through a number of grey-market commercial vendors. There have been at least three reported deaths related 2C-T-7 use, and in January of 2002, Rolling Stone Magazine published an article about 2C-T-7 entitled "The New (legal) Killer Drug". On September 20, 2002, 2C-T-7.
Alkaloid - by taking advantage of certain properties of the constituents. The following classification is simple and convenient; the list of alkaloids makes no pretence at being exhaustive. Pyridine group. Piperine; coniine; trigonelline; arecaidine; guvacine; pilocarpine; cytisine; nicotine; sparteine. Tropine group. Alkaloids characterized by containing the tropine nucleus.

The indole alkaloids: tryptamine, DMT, NMT, &c In addition to the above series there are a considerable number of compounds derived from purin which are by some writers classed.
Alexander Shulgin - regularly tested his creations. They had a systematic way of ranking the effects of the various drugs, with a vocabulary to describe the visual, auditory and physical sensations. He personally tested hundreds of drugs, mainly analogues to various tryptamines (family containing LSD, DMT and Psylocibin) and phenethylamines (family containing MDMA, and Mescaline). There are an infinite number of slight chemical variations, all of which produce slight variations in effect--some pleasant and some unpleasant--and all (of the effects not the infinite number of possible variations) meticulously recorded in Shulgin's books. Some of the more interesting chemicals mentioned in Shulgin's books include DIPT (di-isopropyl-tryptamine). This appears to almost exclusively effect the patient's sense of hearing. And this by NONLINEARLY (as opposed to each pitch dropping the same amount, indicating that the drug might.
Altered state of consciousness - sometimes attained through the ingestion of drugs and psychedelic substances such as LSD, peyote, marijuana, mescaline, and the like. An altered state of consciousness can also come about through the use of alcohol, a sensory deprivation tank, hypnosis, meditation and the practice of certain rituals (e.g. prayer) and disciplines (e.g. yoga). Naturally occurring altered states of consciousness include channeling, dreams, premonitions, euphoria, and limerence. Also see Claudio Naranjo Aldous Huxley Carlos Castaneda Timothy Leary John C.

The Doors of Perception - Perception is a book by Aldous Huxley detailing his hallucinatory experiences when taking mescaline. The title comes from a quote from William Blake: "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite." Based on this quotation, Huxley assumes that the human brain filters reality in order not to let pass all impressions and images, which would be unbearable to process. According to his view, drugs can reduce this filter, or "open these doors of perception", as he puts it metaphorically. In order to verify his theory, Huxley takes mescaline and writes down his thoughts and feelings. What he notices is that everyday objects lose their functionality and suddenly exist "as such". Space and dimension become irrelevant and the perception seems to be enlarged, overwhelming.
Controlled Substances Act - at large. The Assistant Secretary, by authority of the Secretary, compiles the information and transmits back to the DEA a medical and scientific evaluation regarding the drug or other substance, a recommendation as to whether the drug should be controlled, and in what schedule it should be placed. The medical and scientific evaluations are binding to the DEA with respect to scientific and medical matters. The recommendation on scheduling is binding only to the extent that if HHS recommends that the substance not be controlled, the DEA may not control the substance. Once the DEA has received the scientific and medical evaluation from HHS, the Administrator will evaluate all available data and make a final decision whether to propose that a drug or other substance be controlled and into which schedule.
San Pedro - southwestern United States and adjacent areas of Mexico. San Pedro contains mescaline, a hallucinogenic drug also found in various other area cacti. San Pedro de Atacama is a town in the Atacama desert of northern Chile, bordering the Altiplano (high plain) region and the Bolivian border. It is overlooked by the 19,000-foot volcano Licancabur..
Peyote - Lophophora williamsii, whose principal active ingredient is the hallucinogen mescaline. From earliest recorded time, peyote has been used by natives in northern Mexico and the southwestern United States as a part of traditional religious rites. The top of the cactus above ground -- also referred to as the crown -- consists of disc-shaped buttons that are cut from the roots and dried. These buttons are generally chewed or soaked in water to produce an intoxicating liquid. The hallucinogenic dose for mescaline is about 0.3 to 0.5 grams (equivalent to about 5 grams of dried peyote) and lasts about 12 hours. While peyote produced rich visual hallucinations which were important to the native peyote cults, the full spectrum of effects served as a chemically induced model of mental illness. Mescaline can be.
Phencyclidine - demand is met by illegal production. The drug is sold in an extremely limited number of cities. It is available as either a liquid (PCP base dissolved most often in ether) but typically it is sprayed onto leafy material such as marijuana, mint, oregano, or parsley, and smoked. In its pure form, it is a white crystalline powder that readily dissolves in water. However, most PCP on the illicit market contains a number of contaminants as a result of makeshift manufacturing, causing the color to range from tan to brown, and the consistency to range from powder to a gummy mass. The drug is mentioned far more then it is actually encountered, being one of the most rare scheduled substances (second to extracted purified Mescaline). Despite being a dissociative anesthetic it.
Phenethylamine - is structurally and pharmacologically related to amphetamine. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) Phenethylamine Drugs - MDMA - Mescaline - Amphetamine 2C* Family - 2C-I - 2C-B - 2C-E - 2C-T-2 - 2C-T-7.
William S. Burroughs - artists, appearing with recording artists ranging from Laurie Anderson to Ministry, and in films such as Gus Van Sant's Drugstore Cowboy. In 1990, he collaborated with director Robert Wilson and musician Tom Waits to create The Black Rider, a play which opened at the Thalia Theatre in Hamburg on March 31, 1990, to critical acclaim, and was later performed all over Europe and the USA. Through the 1990s, Burroughs also produced several spoken word recordings of his written material. He has been called one of the greatest writers of the 20th century - others consider his writing overrated. William S. Burroughs died at his home in Lawrence, Kansas, at 6:50 p.m., August 2, 1997 from the complications of the previous day's heart attack. Quotes 'Language is a virus from outer space'..
Psychedelic music - which is creatively oriented towards the use of mind affecting drugs such as cannabis, psilocybin, mescaline and especially LSD. History In the 1960s In the United States, this sound was particularly characteristic of the West Coast sound, with bands such as the Grateful Dead, Vanilla Fudge, Tommy James and the Shondells and Jefferson Airplane in the vanguard. There were also less well known psychedelic bands in outlying regions, such as the 13th Floor Elevators and Bubble Puppy working out of Texas, and the Third Bardo in New York City, a group which had a brief revival in the 1990s. In Great Britain, although the psychedelic revolution occurred later, the impact was nonetheless profound within the British music scene. Established artists such as Eric Burdon, The Who and The Beatles produced a.
