Maximum Safe Dose

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

I read somewhere (On a usenet discussion I think) that the maximum safe dose for mescaline is 1000mg... Is it possible to overdose on mescaline, and if so, what are the dangers?

Thanks

I'd think you'd puke it up before overdosing (within reason). For most PEAs the possible fatal dose (not LD50) is about 10x normal dose, which would make it about 4g.

Doesn't Trout's Notes on San Pedro state that someone has ingested up to 8 grams safely?

but isnt that on san pedro? the question pertained to pure mescaline sulfate i think. im certain you could eat more than 1000mg of pedro or even peyote safely from past experiences.

Ah, here it is on page 25 in the last paragraph. "There has never been as much as one single verifiable death from use of peyote or San Pedro, nor for that matter any verifiable reported death in the scientific literature resulting from mescaline, despite it being reported that people have willingly ingested up to 8 grams of mescaline..."
