My personal recipe: extracting mescaline from legal cacti

[rory420420]

i understand that aspect,i was pointing out the certainty of a dose with that compound,unlike the "guesswork" of cactus powder,cuts,ect..if the analouge dose didnt work,it might indicate mescaline also migh not effect him..just a thought..

If you were talking to Indicat then it's not going to work. The meds he's on are going to block the action of psychedelics unless he takes heroic doses and even then the effects will be greatly reduced.

A no-frills guide to extracting Mescaline from legal cacti, namely San Pedro. Requires constant supervision. For illegal use only.

Steps:
1) Obtain the cactus. 12 inches to one dose will do the trick. You can obtain these from a nursery or from online sources.
2) Chop up the cactus so that it will fit in your freezer. Put it in a plastic bag, and freeze it until it is solid. About 3 hours will do it.
3) After 3 hours have elapsed, take the cactus out and let it thaw. You will notice it is looking a bit floppy, as the cell wall has been broken down.
4) Repeat steps 2 and 3, minus the chopping part. Freeze the cactus again.
5)Thaw the cactus again after it has hardened. It will be even more gloopy than before.
6) Skin the cactus. Try to get as close to the waxy outermost part of the skin as possible. Take off all the thorns because they don't have mescaline. Discard waxy outermost skin and thorns.
7)Put the cactus in a large simmering pot--no lid. Add 2-3 cups of water. Simmer the cactus on the lowest heat possible for about 7 hours. Use low heat to ensure that the active ingredient (mescaline) is not destroyed.
Stir occasionally.

You will notice that, while cooking the cactus, it turns from a solid to a syrupy yellowish liquid. Continue adding a minimal amount of water to the cactus juice. This will be necessary as the water will continue to evaporate. If you do not add the water, the cactus juice might burn and destroy the active ingredient.

If it is boiling, you probably cooked it at too high of a temperature. Your final product will be diminished.

Cook the cactus juice down as much as possible. After 7 hours, remove the liquid from the pot and chill in refrigerator. Divide into shot glasses. Take 1 shot for a threshold trip, 2 shots for a stronger trip, and 3-5 to blow your fucking mind away.

Possible problems:
Q) I followed your recipe exactly and I didn't trip. What happened?
A) You most likely did not get the right cactus.

Q) I followed your recipe exactly and I was very sick and had to go to the hospital. I almost died. What happened?
A) You cooked the wrong cactus, and it was poisonous.

Q)I followed your recipe exactly and it wasn't very strong. Why?
A) You might have cooked the cactus down at too high of a temperature. The active chemical was partially destroyed.

This was extremely helpful ) , for two 60 Cm ones how big does the pan have to be ( litres) and what type of pan does it have to be like does it have to be a non stick one?

There is another recipe that says to blend the cuctus. Then put in in a pot on low heat for a while and it seoarates, joins, and then becomes a concentrate. Is blending it better? Should I freeze it? There are so many different adjusted ways to make mescaline. Which one gives good results and is easiest to do?

My method is far different. I only cook with the green which is right beneath the skin as this is where the mescaline is concentrated. I discard the white flesh. You can simmer the chunks and remove waxy skin with butter knife. Softly simmer green flesh down until paste then dry in oven on low as in decarbing with door cracked open til cracker dry on sheet baking paper. Coffee blender and into capules.
Don't be doing this without a Shaman or experiencer to guide it's not your typical.
It quite similar to Amanita

How so? IIRC amanita muscaria is more dissociative/deliriant with a sedated/drunken body load..

A group of us have been fooling around with San Pedro for a few years now like once every year-ish. I concur that eating the flesh is a waste of time and really gross. I agree that the wet method of processing described above had yielded the best results. We've never dried anything but I don't see how that process will add to potency. It might be less gross than drinking it but what wouldn't. My experience is that a foot of cactus prepared in the wet method (but not dried) would be enough to get a very mild effect.

I would not describe the effects as anywhere near hallucinogenic but rather like micro dosing. Colors may look a little brighter, an increased awareness, a very mild euphoric and energizing feeling that while mild can last a few hours.

I'm not advocating anyone try the above just relating experiences.

What if you just eat the 12 inches of cactus, skin and all ?

 

[alphapinene]

you can but it takes quite awhile getting all that shit down and tastes absolutely vile..plus i could only imagine the stomach pain from ingesting a cactus...

 

[SnidleyBluntash]

Lol ya. The active ingredient mescaline, is it an organic compound like thc? What is the melting point, boiling point? I’m going to look in to all that now. As well as at what temp the molecule degrades.

I think you'd regret it
