How do you make mescalin?

Asked by KasperPrip (218points) January 31st, 2010

The cactus(coyote) is legal in my country(Denmark) and it is fairly easy to buy. But besides that coyote is the main ingredient of mescalin i have no idea how to make it. And i want to :) so if any of you have any experience with making mescalin; like what to do, and what not to, please help me. That would be awesome :)

Mescaline is a relatively complex synthesis.
Not for attempt by amateurs.
You have been warned.
If you are confusing the words “Peyote” and “Coyote”, I think you should probably give it a miss.

Nevertheless, here is your answer:

I will not simplify the instructions for synthesis. If you do not understand this entry, do not attempt the synthesis.

If, on the other hand, you intend to extract the mescaline from a cactus, here are some instructions:

Be warned, however, the chemicals used are dangerous.
There are many opportunities for human error to send boiling hot acid or carcinogen into your eye.

If in doubt, stick with eating the cacti.

No, a coyote is a coyote. A wolf is a wolf.

He says the cactus is legal in Denmark. Is it actually illegal anywhere at all?

@shiningtoast actually i found out that the specific peyote cactus(again i am sorry that english is not my first language!!) is illegal in Denmark, however some other cacti also containing mescalin is legal.

@gailcalled thanks for the information, but next time read the wiki youself it says:

“The coyote also known as the American jackal or the prairie wolf

@KasperPro:Whatever he is called familiarly, the coyote is taxonomically neither a jackal nor a wolf. We have coyotes who run rampant in the woods here (no prairies). They can be mistaken, from a distance, for a large yellowish dog or red fox.

And I sent the photos to you for comparison and contrast.

Many animals, birds, and insects have nicknames. The red tailed hawk, although usually innocent, is called in some parts of the country a chicken hawk (also a pejorative term for an older man who preys on younger men. That doesn’t make him a hawk, however.)

And let us not forget the sports teams. (Or, perhaps, let us forget them.)

And thanks for the study tip.
