Soil temperatures in the 60 to 68 degrees F (16 to 20 degrees C) range are ideal and you can direct seed beginning 3-4 weeks before the last frost date in spring. In my experience, not having to plan to create a spring mix from individual crops encourages me to eat more fresh salad. It also helps me harvest and use or gift the greens before the plants bolt and the leaves become bitter or hot. Use a good potting mix and moisten it thoroughly before planting seeds. Scatter them on the moist potting mix and then sprinkle with one-fourth inch of potting soil. Place the container where it will receive at least five hours of full sun per day.
- The experience and side effects of mescaline are a cross between the classical psychedelics and amphetamines1,2.
- Most salad greens are cool season vegetables and grow best from early spring through early summer and again from early to late autumn.
- As for soil depth, I cover the seeds with a scant 1/8 to 1/4 inch of soil.
- Pick the baby greens as often as possible once the plants reach a few inches tall.
- During cool weather, mesclun greens will grow the fastest with full sun for 6 to 8 hours per day.
- In larger areas you may wish to broadcast the seeds, aiming to sprinkle them evenly over the soil surface.
Depending on the variety mizuna can have light green leaves, green leaves streaked in burgundy-purple, or even deep red leaves. Most salad greens are cool season vegetables and grow best from early spring through early summer and again from early to late autumn. In mild climates you can plant and harvest throughout autumn and winter.
Mescaline and addiction
Do not, however, start with a strong dose if you don’t have a trip sitter nearby.Keep in mind that the higher the dose you take, the more important it is to be in a safe environment.Some people are more sensitive than others. There are people who can take a relatively strong dose and feel nothing. The mix often includes leaf lettuce, arugula, endive, frisée, mizuma, oak leaf, mâche or lamb’s lettuce, radicchio, sorrel, chervil, groundsel, and dandelion. These greens grow best in cooler temperatures and tend to bolt when summer heat amps up. After germination thin the seedlings to a spacing of 1 inch (2.5 cm.) between each plant.
- If someone is taking synthetic mescaline produced in a lab then it will most commonly come in the form of a pill that is swallowed.
- Other traditional uses of cacti containing mescaline include healing and divination.
- Read seed packet variety info to learn the specific timing information, but I sow seeds for most types of mesclun greens from early spring through early summer and again from late summer until 2-3 weeks before the first fall frost date.
- Although chemically related to dopamine and norepinephrine, psychedelic phenethylamines also interact with the serotonin pathway by stimulating serotonin receptors and increasing the release of serotonin.
- Peyote, in its natural form, contains dozens of different types of phenylethylamine alkaloids, some of which are pictured above.
- Direct seeding is the best way to plant most types of mesclun greens.
- Or maybe the vendors at your local farmers’ market sell bags of mesclun.

They have a mild nutty flavor and very tender, almost succulent, leaves. Once the seeds are planted, there’s not much for the gardener to do. Keep the soil lightly moist as drought-stressed salad greens are more prone to bitterness and bolting.
Why choose mescaline over other psychedelics?
Mesclun mix is harvested young so it doesn’t need a lot of space and even does well in containers. Even if you refine your scope to what many in the U.S. see as a traditional salad — one composed largely of lettuce — you still have quite the array of options. Caesar salad calls for crispy Romaine, and heartier still are the many varieties of kale salad that exist. But on the more delicate side, there is the whisper-thin, but bold flavor of mesclun greens, which may be just as misunderstood as it is popular.

You can also apply an organic granular vegetable fertilizer to ensure a steady supply of essential nutrients. I love growing mesclun mix in my garden because it’s delicious and very quick to grow with the first harvests beginning just 3-4 weeks after seeding. Most mesclun blends contain a wide range of greens with varied leaf flavors, colors, shapes, and textures. The name “mesclun” comes from the word “mescal” from the Provencal or southern France dialects. The word means “to mix” or “mixture.” Mesclun mix is harvested when the baby greens are only three to four weeks old, small, soft, and mesculin tender.

Blends usually include 5-7 types of greens with a range of leaf sizes, colors, shapes and textures. Although leaf lettuces are often the primary component, most mixes also include non-lettuce greens (brassicas, herbs, and others) to add diversity in flavor and appearance. Mixes can be mild- or spicy-flavored, and can be harvested young for use in salads or older as “braising” mixes for stir-fries.
How to Grow Mesclun in Pots
Although the book is not entirely about his mescaline trip, the plant was a great inspiration for his existential writing. After experimenting with mescaline, Sartre believed lobster-like creatures were following him for many years. He included these sea creatures in his novel Nausea, which implicitly quoted his mescaline experience. The psychological and emotional effects of mescaline greatly vary due to many factors such as dose, set, setting, intention, and more.
Mescaline can also cause synesthesia, a mixing of the senses where users can feel like they see sound or hear color. Or you can use it in place of the spinach in Foodal’s recipe for summery spinach and sun-dried tomato pasta salad. I’ll eat that with a fork on its own, pile it on top of fresh-baked pizza slices, or stuff it into a pita pocket with some grilled seafood. You should also watch out for cabbage loopers, green worms with white stripes that will munch away happily on the vegetation.
