italian manufacturer miniforms has teamed up with designer yiannis ghikas to create the ‘soda’ coffee table collection. made entirely from blown murano glass, the tables are available in two sizes and two colors: bold amber and elegant petrol green.
images by alessandro di bon
named after one of the three main elements of glass, the soda tables utilize the material’s transparency and the geometry of yiannis ghikas‘ design to create a play of light and shadow. different shapes are formed as the viewer’s perspective changes. if you look at the table from a certain edge, you see darker parts due to the way the layers of glass overlap one another.
soda is available in two sizes and two colors: amber or petrol green
soda was born upside-down and with a puff of air. each piece weighs around 20 kilos and is blown, drawn-out and shaped by three master glassmakers. the result is a single volume of glass with three large petals forming the stem. when crafting the tables, the highly skilled artisans of murano also have to carefully adjust a complex system of burners to keep the same temperature throughout the mold, which is essential to create the final ‘hammered’ surface texture.
amber-colored glass tables
as well as highlighting the craftsmanship of these italian artisans, the style of this collection also reflects the miniforms brand: it’s iconic, simple, colorful, and even ‘funky’.‘we have a light-hearted approach to design and soda reflects this attitude. also, we love to mix traditional elements of the past, like working with murano glass, and insert them in a contemporary environment. an aphorism that we remind ourself sometimes is ‘it’s ok to look at the past, just don’t stare.” – miniforms

the first symptom of a cold is usually a sore throat. this is generally followed by sneezing or a blocked, sore or runny nose. usually, 1 in 3 people with a cold will get a cough and feel unwell.
colds are caused by viruses. antibiotics cannot treat viruses. instead, drink plenty of liquids to replace those lost from sweating and runny noses. get lots of rest and eat healthily. do not ask your gp for antibiotics for a cold.
you will usually feel worse during the first 2 to 3 days before gradually starting to improve. your symptoms will usually last about a week.
cold and flu symptoms are similar but flu tends to be more severe.

What to Know About Mescaline Use
Mescaline, also known as 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine, is a hallucinogenic drug that occurs naturally in certain cacti plants native to the southwest United States, Mexico, and South America. These plants include the peyote cactus (Lophophora williamsii), the San Pedro cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi), and the Peruvian Torch cactus (Trichocereus peruvianus).
Mescaline has been used by Native Americans for thousands of years in religious ceremonies and for the treatment of various physical ailments. Although the use of mescaline products is illegal in the United States, peyote is recognized as a sacrament in the Native American Church of North America.
When peyote is used in religious ceremonies, it is exempt from its classification as a Schedule I controlled drug under the American Indian Religious Freedom Act (AIRFA).
Also Known As: Mescaline is also sometimes known as peyote, buttons, moon, and cactus.
Drug Class: Mescaline is classified as a hallucinogen.
Common Side Effects: People who take mescaline may experience unpleasant side effects including anxiety, rapid heartbeat, tremors, hallucinations, and psychosis.
How to Recognize Mescaline
When naturally-derived, mescaline is found in the fruit or button-shaped seeds that grow on the outside of the cactus, which are cut off and dried and then eaten or sliced, boiled, and drunk as a tea. These buttons can also be dried and ground into an off-white powder put into pill capsules or smoked with tobacco.
Mescaline can also be produced through chemical synthesis. Mescaline sulfate is the pure form of the drug and appears as a white crystalline material.
What Does Mescaline Do?
The effects of mescaline last for 10 to 12 hours, although the use of mescaline as a sacrament takes place over two days. As a hallucinogenic or psychedelic drug, mescaline induces an altered state of consciousness where people experience altered thinking and perception. People often describe this state as enjoyable, euphoric, and dream-like.
Visual hallucinations are a common effect of mescaline use, and people often describe distortions in their experience of time.
What the Experts Say
There is little research on mescaline use and its effects. But there have been some limited studies on its frequency of use, the potential for overdose, and effects on mental health. Research suggests a few key findings.
Mescaline Poisoning Is Rare
A study of the California Poison Control System database for the years to showed that during that time there were only 31 cases of mescaline poisoning.
Mescaline Use Is Not Linked to Mental Health Issues
A study published in PLOS One found that not only was there no link between the use of psychedelic drugs (which included LCD and mescaline) and mental health problems. In fact, the study found that the use of these substances was actually linked to a lower risk of mood disorders, psychosis, anxiety disorders, and psychological distress.
Recreational Use Tends to Be Uncommon
Although peyote can be used by Native Americans legally for ceremonial purposes, a small proportion uses the substance recreationally. While the research available is not extensive, in one study of 89 Native American adolescents, only 10 (%) reported the illicit use of peyote. Most of them said they had only used illicit peyote once or twice in their lifetime.
Those who had used illicit peyote were more likely to report low levels of social support, low levels of self-esteem, and low identification with Native American culture, although they had similar levels of involvement in Native American traditional practices as those who did not use illicit mescaline.
Other Uses
There has been limited research on mescaline's potential medical uses. Some speculation suggests that the drug may have been used in the treatment of alcoholism and depression, but more research is needed.
Common Side Effects
According to one study, commonly reported effects of taking mescaline include the following:
Agitation
Agitation—an emotional state of nervousness or nervous excitement—can occur out of nowhere when people take mescaline. It can also result from excessive worrying about other symptoms such as whether hallucinations are real or perceived heart problems.
Agitation can quickly turn to panic for people who have taken hallucinogens, which can lead to dangerous agitated behavior such as running off into unsafe environments like city streets with traffic, or rural areas with environmental hazards such as heights, swamps, etc.
Hallucinations
People who use mescaline may see or hear things that are not there or have no actual basis in reality. Although hallucinations are an expected or even desired effect of hallucinogenic drugs, sometimes people find them much more troubling or frightening than expected. Although they typically know hallucinations that occur in a mescaline intoxicated state are not real, they can cause a lot of confusion and distress.
Tachycardia
Tachycardia, or rapid heart rate is defined as a heart rate of over beats per minute (bpm). While there may not be severe physical consequences of tachycardia, a fast heart rate can sometimes create anxiety, which can further speed up heart rate. People can feel panicky, particularly if they are worried that using the drug is causing heart problems.
Less common effects included seizures, loss of consciousness, and vomiting.
While these more serious effects aren't common, it is important for people to be aware that taking these substances do carry these risks.
Signs of Use
Some possible signs that someone might be using mescaline include:
- Changes in mood
- Difficulty sleeping
- Flushed skin
- Hallucinations
- Headaches
- Increased energy levels
- Lack of appetite
- Nausea or vomiting
- Poor coordination
- Presence of drug paraphernalia
Common Questions
Mescaline is sometimes confused with the Mexican alcoholic beverage mezcal, which, despite drug folklore, is made from agave (not cactus) and does not contain mescaline. The worm that is sometimes found in a bottle of mezcal does not, as often purported, induce a mescaline high because it does not contain the drug either.
Although mescaline is not particularly well-known as a street drug, it holds a special place in drug culture, particularly among people who use psychedelic drugs who may believe that, like magic mushrooms and marijuana, psychedelic cacti are sacred plants and should be revered due to their origination in nature.
Tolerance, Dependence, and Withdrawal
There is no current research suggesting that mescaline use leads to physical dependence, psychological dependence, or addiction. Tolerance does take place, however, and tends to occur quite rapidly. Tolerance means that people need to take more of the drug in order to achieve the same effects.
With repeated use, tolerance can occur in as little as three to six days. Cross-tolerance with other drugs such as LSD and psilocybin may also be possible.
How Long Does Mescaline Stay in Your System?
The amount of time mescaline stays in the system depends on factors such as an individual's metabolism, hydration levels, body mass, and overall health. Mescaline can be detected in urine for between two to three days but can be detected by hair follicle tests for up to 90 days.
How Long Mescaline Stays in Your System
Addiction
Mescaline does not appear to be addictive, although further research is needed to determine if addiction is possible. That said, any substance that distorts a person's perceptions of reality is potentially harmful, as they can more easily misinterpret reality, or have accidents. In terms of toxicity, however, evidence may point to mescaline carrying a lower risk than many other recreational drugs.
Just because mescaline is "natural" does not mean that it is safe to use. According to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) mescaline presents too great a risk of physical and/or psychological abuse for it to be available for purchase or prescription.
Withdrawal
Quitting mescaline does not lead to physical symptoms of withdrawal, but people may experience psychological symptoms that lead them to seek out the drug. People sometimes utilize substances such as mescaline to self-medicate, to avoid life's problems, or to cope with stress. Giving up mescaline use may require addressing underlying psychological issues first.
How to Get Help
Treatment for substance misuse and addiction often involves cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), a process that addresses the underlying thought patterns that contribute to maladaptive behaviors. It is not uncommon for a combined approach that includes CBT with individual psychotherapy, group therapy, and support groups.
There are no treatments for mescaline use that are currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and other medications may be used to address the symptoms of underlying psychological conditions.
Talk to your doctor if you are concerned about your mescaline use. You can also contact SAMHSA's national helpline at or search their online treatment locator for a referral to mental health services in your area.

At the age of ten, I passionately wanted a brother, and terrorized my parents to do something. Finally, my requests met with success and at the age of eleven they gave me Petya. Now every day I rushed home after school to play with him. At that time, prejudices still existed, forbidding girls to see boys naked, even babies. And that's why my mother kicked me out of the room when she was going to change Petya's diapers.
