For this project, we were tasked with exploring various drugs and the addiction potential that comes with them. I decided to explore mescaline because it’s a fairly unknown psychedelic, used by various Native American tribes and described by the Mayans as, “the drug that makes you see god.”
This project gave me a much greater understanding of the drug mescaline. In the beginning, we were able to choose a wide variety of drugs to research, and not just drugs, but also things such as murder and gambling. I originally planned on researching MDMA but someone else had already decided to research it, so I decided to go with mescaline, and I am satisfied with that choice all the way. This was a 1-semester course and I am disappointed that I won’t have the opportunity to be taking it anymore, but I am very happy that I chose to take it.
