best way to ingest dry, powdered cacti?

i have acquired 30g of powdered T. peruvianus flesh and 30g of T. bridgesii.

i have tried consuming cactus twice. first botched experiment involved eating fresh cactus. i couldnt stomach it all.

the other was prepared with dried skins (well, not the outermost layer....you know what i mean, the outermost flesh within that nasty tough layer) and boiled into a semi-traditional brew, but i refridgerated it to save for later. i didnt get to it soon enough and it started fermenting and smelling off, so i threw it out to err on the side of caution.

now after two attempts, i've never had a significant mescaline experience, and as the potency of specimens allegedly varies wildly, i want to ensure i can consume all 60g to make sure i really trip.

this is also the reason i got 30g each of two species, in hopes that if one is particularly low in alkaloids the other may have enough.

but my experiences, while they have not gotten me into a psychedelic mindstate, have taught me a few things.

i know adding the powder to liquid will cause the volume to increase quite a bit, and i know it would be quite slimy.

i'm thinking since its a powder i shouldnt have to boil it. just stir it into a cup of water or oj or something and drink as quickly as i can.

otherwise i'm considering gelatin capsules, but that would take a LOT of tedious work and it would be unpleasant to take that many pills.

furthermore as i understand it mescaline takes a while to affect you anyway, and using gelcaps would delay it even further.

any recomendations for how to get this stuff down?

i know i am unexperienced with mescaline, but am confident that even if it turns out to be rather strong material i have, i will make it through the trip itself alright. i'm experienced with LSD, 2C-E, 2C-B, salvia, DXM, DPT, ecstacy, LSA, and most of all i am very experienced with mushrooms.

i am looking for a very strong, very spiritual trip....hopefully it will deliver.

anyway, if anyone here is experienced with dried cacti instead of cuttings, please give me any advice relevant to consumption.

 

Here's a couple that have worked well for me:

-put the cactus into a bowl, and then pour in just enough pure lemon juice to cover all your cactus. Let this sit for about a day in a cool place away from light. Then take shots of this using diet coke as a chaser. It won't taste good, but this liquifies the powder and leaves the least amount of stuff to drink.

-the least painful way is gel caps. It's not too much work, maybe 45 minutes tops. A technique that I used was to pour all the powder into a bowl, and then push the open end of the cap into the powder multiple times in rapid succession, packing it in.

The first one will give a stronger trip, gel caps always seemed to weaken it, but drastically reduced naseau and no matter how many pills you take it'll be a hell of a more pleasent experience than drinking it. I got the most profound trip of my life using the lemon juice method though.

And taking the stuff is the hardest part. Mescaline is awesome and powerful, have fun!

 

seems like I read somewhere on here that you could add a tiny bit of water and roll the powder into balls, then swallow the balls with a fluid. also- alcohol extract.

 

alright, thanks guys!

i considered a very crude alcohol extract, but it would be a pain trying to filter it out. it would be bad enough if it were chunks of slimy cactus, but this stuff is powdered...and i mean really like flour! it would be a hassle to filter the solids off, i'd think, and furthermore i have every intent of taking this as a sacrament and do not wish to add alcohol to the mixture. of course i could dry off the alcohol after extracting, but then thats even MORE hassle....

i think i'll just mix it with the smallest amount of citrus juice i can get away with and drinking it.

the next psychedelic i intend to try for the first time will be traditionally brewed ayahuasca (yage and chacruna, and/or chaliponga), and from what i understand no matter how much most people may dislike the act of consuming cactus flesh and products of cactus flesh, it can't hold a candle to the taste of ayahuasca.

so it will be good for me....getting used to embracing the vile flavor and consistancy, and getting used to the idea of purging being an expected and beneficial aspect of a trip.

 

just make tea i'm tellin you guys lol fuckin get some of that Peruvian and just use 10 Grams at first and see how you feel because Torches are much more potent up to 10x more so starting with 10 G's would be a safe estimate i would make up one more tea dose while your waiting for the effects on that one

 

there are heaps of really useful tips here i'm not new to drugs however never tried catis and the info here is priceless

peace !

 

I tried gel capping cactus once, tedious yes, and the powder does get caught on the side of the caps and you end up tasting lots of it anyway!
It's alot of caps to swallow! I'd stick with 25-30g to begin with,
