Preparation of Fresh Trichocereous! If you have a cutting that has a top tip on it, please cut off 3 in. from the top tip and plant in some common soil and sand, for the continuation of the plant species. Storage – Wrap your cuttings in newspaper until your ready to use. Fresh cuttings will scab at the ends leaving the juice contained within. Keep in a dark cool place. The defensive mechanism of the cactus will cause the mescaline content of the cutting to increase as it is stored. The cutting still retains vital life-force until we plant or prepare it. Mescaline is in the phenylethylamine class. It is an empathogenic hallucinogen. Dosage: 1 ft cutting = 1 button or 1 hit of acid. 1ft = Entry level psychedelic. Good for a mellow trip. Nothing spectacular. If you plan on dealing with people in everyday life, this is a good hit. Good for mellow day tripping 2ft = Verge of the psychedelic experience. Good for concert, club going, or hard partying. Handling yourself in respectable public will be difficult. Good for strong day trip 3ft = Gateway to the Psychedelic experience. This is a good amount to take if you plan on doing some shamanic work psychedically. I would recommend doing this during the evening due to the vision inducing that will be taking place. Don’t forget the Sacred Herb. 4ft = Shamanic Experience. At this level you will be meeting Mescalito! 5ft = Full Blown Psychedelic Experience. At this level you will lose your Ego! The Preparation of the cactus goes as follows. De-needle your cactus by cutting the needles off in V cuts. Rinse your cactus with water then prepare for the next step. Cut your cactus into 3 inch cuttings. Take your knife and cut down on the cactus down the outer part of the green flesh on the inner part of the cactus. You should have the skin and the inner green flesh only leaving the white. 2 cuts should remove the sides and the inner part between 2 ribs. At this point you can go 2 ways. 1 is to put the skin cuttings in a food dehydrator and dry them for long term storage. 2 is to take the fresh skin cuttings and put them threw the vegetable juicer. You should get on the average 6 oz. of juice per 1ft cutting. The juice will come out all froth. Take the froth and pour it into a non aluminum pot or pan and bring to a boil. Allow to simmer and stir. This speeds up the defrothing and theoretically possibly increases potency due to a last minute plant material reaction to the heat. For sure boiling kills any bacteria that might have grown in the cactus. Mescaline’s boiling point is around 325 C, so don’t worry about cookin off the good stuff. Otherwise the defrothing takes a couple of hours, if let to sit on its own. Pour contents into 12 oz water bottles. This helps with the getting it down part for me. Make sure the juice has cooled to room temp or cooler. It’s easier to drink when it’s cool or cold. Personally I think it tastes better too. If you can’t stand the taste, try mixing it in with equal parts of V8 juice. Remember that it’s better cool/cold! Drink Plenty of water afterwards to help in the absorbtion process, plus it reduces nauseua. One Last Thing In About 45-1hr after consuming you will feel the come on and a nauseua. Do not fight the urge to puke. You will not lose any mescaline. The puking is essential, Your trip will be dark and irritating mostly and for some reason not as strong. This is tried and True Folks. If You fast the stomach cramping will be less afterwards other than that your good to go. Happy Trippin Ya'll!! ENJOY MESCALINE! e!
He is using the green skin, and discarding the white inner tissue including the core; the method swim uses. While some mescaline is in the white tissue, anecdotally this is also the part of the cactus, along with the "scotch tape" outer outer wax skin (the whitish opaque thin stuff above the green) that adds to vomiting. Higher mescaline amounts with less bulk and additives makes the dark green layer the most effective target for consumption. Ultimately, its less stuff to get down with near the same effect. And lastly, his dosage scale is more realistic then what is typically offered by excited "placebo effect" experience reports, in swim's humble experience, at least domestically.
Okay, dumb question. What if you stripped the skin off the top of a cactus? Would skin grow back, or would it kill the plant?
Not a dumb question. Cactus wouldnt die unless you stripped too much, but the part you had denuded would dry up into a leathery skin scar like thing that is typical of injuries to cactus; the green skin wouldnt grow back over the scar, and you'd still have to wait for the 1 ft per year growth scheme to draw from. In other words the skin wouldnt grow back over the ravaged segment at a scale quicker than the plants overall growth, although you may increase the mescaline levels of the remaining portion of the cactus (in the months following the attack) as the cactus' slow metabolism tried to defend itself from you.
Adding tryptamine to the growing medium for shrooms dramactically increases psilocybin levels. I wonder if adding something like gallic acid to the soil will do the same for mescaline.
Anecdotally (theoretically) there are 6 ways of increasing mescaline levels in cactus: www.erowid.org/plants/cacti/cacti_guide/cacti_guide7.shtml The one youre referring to is chemical doping (adam gottlieb). With cactus this involves injection of dopamine, or a mixture of tyramine and dopa, into the plant some weeks or months before harvest.
So I took the juice and decided i would evaporate the moisture using the boiling pot on low heat. after about 45 min the juice was now goop!! it was like a soft cookie dough type thing to me when i scraped the goop together. I took the dough ball goop and fried it on a pan using med to med high heat evaporating more moisture. ( be carefull it get sticky and messy and losing it! ) when fear of losing my plant material was critical i decided to ball it up. it was a bit like cannabis resin to me. so i took the big cactus resin ball and rolled it like playdough in my hands. I took a 1392g 1 ft cactus cutting and turned it into a 9 gram ball of cactus resin that resembles a cross between a super sticky dense kind nug and a peyote button. now the theory is still untested. I am drying it in the sun for a few days. Possibly when completely dried, I will be able to powder it in the coffee grinder and capsulize it making it the most organic mescaline extraction I've found. I needed to take a break for a while. these last few weeks of mescaline experimentation have tapped me. Grounding and 1st attention work is in progress. I am going to use a new setting with mescalito now that i have a more portable way to consume it. I will let Ya'll know the results, peace!!!!!e
