旅行行前須知
聖佩德羅是一種強大的迷幻劑,聖佩德羅儀式在積極和消極方面都可以是激烈而有力的。雖然每個人都會經歷獨特和個人的經歷,但您可以期待一些普遍的事情。
旅行風險
使用任何物質都具有一定程度風險而San Pedro 和麥斯卡林似乎都沒有造成任何死亡,作為一個已經使用數千年歷史的物質,仙人掌致死量至今也是未知。與任何迷幻藥一樣,計劃不周的佈景和環境會導致風險,包括危險環境、在公共場合等。它還可能給那些有精神疾病史、心臟病、高血壓和肝臟問題的人帶來問題,以及孕婦或哺乳期婦女。有關安全使用 San Pedro 的更多信息,請參閱安全性和毒性部分。
San Pedro 會讓你在短期內感到"瘋狂"(急性精神病),特別是如果你不遵循迷幻劑使用的 6Ss。這被稱為"糟糕的旅行",從長遠來看不太可能造成問題。學會在出現時處理焦慮和偏執狂,將幫助您度過任何具有挑戰性的經歷。
1.有肝臟疾病者禁止使用(他作用於肝臟)
2.精神疾病史、心臟病、高血壓禁止使用
3.在安全環境且有保姆領航員狀態下進行旅程
4.確定物質來源安全,有時候殺死你的是農藥
5.不要預設期待,交給祂帶領你走過這段神聖之旅
6.確保當天24小時不會有任何人事物需要您親身處理
神聖仙人掌 的佈景和設定
與所有迷幻藥一樣,聖佩德羅的麥斯卡林可以從根本上改變您的看法,暫時影響您的判斷力,並揭示深層情緒。計劃去一個安全舒適的地方。麥斯卡林的合法性在大多數國家仍然是一個問題,因此在選擇何時何地使用它時請記住這一點。
讓自己置身於好人或好人身邊:你認識並信任的人。獨自旅行有時可能具有挑戰性並且可能令人恐懼。即使您對其他迷幻藥有經驗並且習慣了獨自旅行,但如果您正在嘗試新事物,有人陪同也是個好主意。處理這種情況的最安全方法是與清醒、可靠且親身體驗過聖佩德羅仙人掌的朋友或協助者一起。
聖佩德羅的迷幻之旅比死藤水更持久
San Pedro 以及其他來源的麥斯卡林比許多其他經典迷幻藥更持久。通常情況下,服用 San Pedro 的人會在 30 到 90 分鐘後逐漸感受到效果,有時會經歷一個持續 3 到 5 小時的長峰值,並在另外 4 到 6 小時內繼續體驗額外的主觀效果。麥斯卡林體驗的時間可能是裸蓋菇素體驗的兩倍多,或者比類似強度的 LSD 體驗長 50%,因此請相應地計劃!

常見的神聖仙人掌旅程經歷
San Pedro 的作用主要是由致幻生物鹼麥斯卡林引起的,儘管其他生物鹼也有助於產生獨特的隨行效應。為最大限度地降低風險,San Pedro 不應與興奮劑或單胺氧化酶抑製劑 (MAOI) 混合使用,也不應與 Tramadol 聯合使用。基於 SSRI 的抗抑鬱藥被認為與麥斯卡林結合使用相當安全,但可以顯著降低體驗的迷幻強度。DMT 等色胺可以與仙人球鹼結合使用,但這將是一種異常強烈的體驗,通常不建議大多數人使用。
常見的積極影響:
- 身體內在湧出無限能量與快樂、積極感
- 距離或大小的扭曲
- 增加色彩感知
- 萬物融為一體、愛與平或相互聯繫的體驗
- 曼陀羅般的視覺體驗
- 睜眼或閉眼都會不斷看到色彩異常並不斷出現神聖幾何形狀形象化(在更高劑量下更常見)
常見的負面影響:
- 噁心(通常在效果發生前之後會慢慢消退)
- 出汗
- 頭暈
- 心率加快
- 具有挑戰性的經歷(據說比死藤水更罕見,但仍有可能)
我們從成熟的迷幻體驗的研究和麥斯卡林旅行報告中得出了上面詳述的效果。但是人們越來越多地通過微量服用聖佩德羅進行試驗。正如預期的那樣,這會產生您在更有效劑量下可能會體驗到的微妙版本。通常報告的微劑量麥斯卡林的效果似乎是減少"過度思考"和沈思,改善一般心理健康,以及增加信心和精力。
與所有微劑量一樣,重要的是要注意校準劑量,並在做諸如駕駛之類的事情之前註意它可能如何影響您的感知。有些人發現微劑量可以幫助他們在交流中更加誠實,朋友或同事可能需要時間來適應。麥斯卡林的共情作用是否能緩和這種情況尚不清楚。


旅程
在食用聖佩德羅仙人掌後,大多數人在15至40分鐘內開始感覺到效果,但可能需要最多三個小時才能達到高峰。下降可能需要另外三個小時,整個體驗通常持續約10個小時。聖佩德羅仙人掌通常也會留下持久的餘韻,在效果消退後可能會讓人難以入睡。
許多人對聖佩德羅仙人掌(以及總體上的麥斯卡林)與他們嘗試過的其他致幻劑有多不同感到驚訝。例如,即使你正在飛翔,聖佩德羅仙人掌也可能讓你感覺放鬆和掌控。一位使用者將其效果與MDMA作比較,但感覺它們"更神奇"。"該使用者接著說:"就像所有最好的藥物效果都被放在一起一樣……類似於MDMA的偉大身體感覺和令人難以置信的同理心和理解力……類似於LSD的專注力、能量和推動力……類似於魔法蘑菇所帶來的旅程效果……這是我們有生以來最清醒的感覺。"
當聖佩德羅仙人掌的效果首次出現時,常常會感到昏昏欲睡或暈眩,通常還伴隨著血管中的刺痛或電感。在起飛期間,也常見到噁心、嘔吐和出汗的情況。
聖佩德羅仙人掌通常會產生視覺效果,包括彩色光的漩渦、周邊視野中的閃光、萬花筒般的圖案和人體周圍的白色鬼影輪廓。出體"體驗也很常見,以及感官交感(例如"感覺"和"嗅到"視覺和聲音),輕微的自我解體和空間意識扭曲
由於聖佩德羅能夠"像花一樣"打開潛意識,近年來西方人將聖佩德羅用作啟蒙和精神成長的工具(與其他迷幻藥一起)激增。有些人更容易受到它的影響,但聖佩德羅儀式通常是一次內心之旅,引發對自我和宇宙的深刻洞察。根據西部聖佩德羅修行者 Lesley Myburgh 的說法,仙人掌"幫助我們治愈、成長、學習和覺醒,並幫助我們達到更高的意識狀態。"
事實上,麥斯卡林和其他迷幻藥一樣,以提高創造力而聞名。在一項研究中,一組 27 名男性服用了麥斯卡林,並被要求思考他們在工作中面臨的一個問題,其中一些問題已經持續了幾個月。服用一劑後,幾乎每個參與者要么自己解決了問題,要嘛想出了解決問題的新方法。麥斯卡林還可以提高學習能力:在另一項研究中,研究人員發現該物質幫助金魚更快地學會避免電擊。這些發現支持了一種流行的觀點,即麥斯卡林和其他迷幻藥可以增強創造力。正如心理學家斯坦利·克里普納 (Stanley Krippner) 所說,"要發明新事物,一個人不能完全受條件限製或印記。" 像麥斯卡林這樣的迷幻藥往往會消除先入為主的觀念,並引發對現實的全新看法。
這些新視角通常會讓用戶感到超凡脫俗。"靈魂出竅之旅"在麥斯卡林中很常見,通常會將人們帶到現實世界中;其他人則體驗到一種"更廣闊、神秘但非常真實的[其他]世界一直存在的感覺"。
通常使用神聖仙人掌跟其他經典迷幻物質最大好處就是不容易有BAD TRIP,從化學結構上來看主因是其C 11 H 17 NO 3結構類似MDMA接近興奮劑,從民俗醫療與傳說來看SAN PERDEO是位居特殊象徵地位的,他的力量永遠與動物同樣威猛,他是大人物,是莊嚴且具有超自然力量的魔法植物。

旅程多久會恢復
許多使用過 San Pedro 和其他含麥斯卡林仙人掌的人報告說,它們會產生長時間且明顯的餘輝效果。恢復到原本狀態所需的確切時間取決於劑量、體驗的強度以及一天中發生的時間。由於其持久的品質,如果您在晚上或下午開始聖佩德羅儀式,您可能會在那天晚上徹夜難眠。因此,無論您是晚上使用聖佩德羅還是參加更傳統的早晨儀式,最好不要開車、操作機器或上班,直到您至少睡了一晚好覺。
與所有致幻物質一樣,花時間了解聖佩德羅可能試圖告訴您的內容以及如何在您的日常生活中付諸行動,這一點至關重要。您可能會覺得自己經歷了一些特別改變生活的事情。在這種情況下,向具有精神活性植物親身經歷的整合專家尋求指導可能會有所幫助。
