Material - Peruvian Torch Extract from 12" of fresh cutting and 1/2 Hit of LSD Blotter

Setting - Various places around my city.

Purpose - Entertainment and exploration.

Background - A drug user for less than a year, am 20 now. I have done a whole host of substances, legal and otherwise. Previous psychedelic experience includes ethocin, miprocin, DMT, 2c-i, and HBWR.

-1:30 - I arrive at the city in the early afternoon, about 2PM-ish. I head out and walk around for a while; eventually I decide to head to a local arcade.

-0:30 - Gradually consume Peruvian Torch extract over the course of a half an hour. The prep work for the extract was as follows: I took one 12" long, 3 1/2" diameter fresh Peruvian Torch cactus cutting, despined it, removed the core, then put all of the green fleshy parts into the blender. I then put the slurry in a pot, added 2 tablespoons vinegar, and boiled it for two hours. This was then strained through a cotton cloth, and the filtered liquid left out to dry on a pan. When it was all dry, the extract was scraped with a razor (it was much like a fruit roll) and formed into little pill like rolls. Total yield was 6 grams or so of this dark green/black plasticy stuff. This was done a month before it was actually eaten.

-0:00 - Finish the extract. Go to the arcade. They say they require ID, but I'd forgot mine! Pity. I walk back around the city for a while. I tried to time the dosing accordingly with a rave I was going to later.

+2:00 - I eat some potato chips and drink some water to try and deal with some slight nausea I'm having. I might be at a +1 right now, but it's hard to tell. A little stimulated.

+3:00 - I get some coffee, then afterwards head to my car, turn the air on, and take a quick nap (I hadn't slept might the night before). I feel a little bloating and nausea, but nothing too bad.

+4:00 - It's about 7:30 PM now. Nothing too much going on with the extract; I feel a little weird, but there's nothing really happening for the most part? A +1 at best. I am not totally baseline, but I am barely anywhere.

+5:00 - I start walking to a rave (the main attraction of the night). I am still very sober. I meet up with some people I've never met that are going to and chat.

+5:30 - Enter the rave at 9 PM. I am very tired still; I was hoping the cactus extract would keep me awake some, but it seemed to be doing very little of anything. I drag myself around the rave a while.

+7:00 - I meet up with some friends I know fairly well. The one says he has some very strong LSD blotters if I'd like some. Seeing as the cactus seemed completely bunk at this point, I decided to take half of a hit (hoping it would at least keep me awake). I had never done LSD before. I put the half blotter under my tongue for about 15 minutes, then swallow it (11:00 or so).

+7:30 - Light signs the blotter is kicking in. Muscle tension reminiscent of ethocin/miprocin.

+8:00 - Am I tripping or not? There are no visuals, so I have some difficultly telling if I'm really feeling it or not.

+8:10 - I am very quickly (and sneakily) floored by the LSD. Definite +3, though with very little visuals... some patterning and melting and blending, but nothing too intense looking. I spend the rest of the party running around, chatting with my also tripping friends, dancing, and generally being incredibly full of energy. How could I describe the intoxication? It seemed like a mix of being half-drunk, stoned, on amphetamine, and tripping at the same time. Clear headed? In a way, kind of like ethocin, but also very sketchy at the same time. Music is okay, but kind of hard to focus on. It is most similar to ethocin; ethocin seems to play the line between LSD and miprocin. Save for the electric blueness and sharpness of the visuals, it didn't seem much like LSA, either.

+12:00 - +3 still, but starting to very, very gradually work itself down to a +2. Bouncing around. Chatty. Euphoric. EXTREMELY ENERGETIC. Some muscle tension and nausea, but not too much so. Confused. Fun stuff! Time goes by very quickly. The night seems very short.

+14:00 - The party ends. I say goodbye to my friends and head to my car to drive home. I am around a +1/+2, but it's very hard to tell. I start driving away and realize that I am actually not okay to drive at all. I pull over and rest. It had been a good 7 hours since I dosed.

+14:30 - I try to relax and plan how to get home. I take some antihistimines in hope that they'll help some in reducing the effects and eat some food at a diner. I am so very tired at this point. The LSD still lingering and forcing energy upon me makes me agitated. I start to get upset, but try not to panic too much.

+16:00 - I lay around for a long time in my car. I feel very negative. I just want to go home and sleep. I want this drug to be done with. CEVs lingering. I feel very cracked out. Getting very paranoid, too.

+17:00 - Approximately 10 or so hours after dosing on the acid, I feel safer about driving. I start my car and pull out. I still feel sketchy and tripping a little, but the ride home goes without a hitch.

+18:00 - Exhausted, cracked out, still feeling the acid a little. I go to bed.

Conclusion: LSD, for the first while on it, seemed amazing in the energy it possessed. Towards the end of the trip though, it felt like too much, too long. Still, I feel overall fairly satisfied with the experience...I think it would have been much more fun if I hadn't have to have drive towards the end, and just relaxed. Maybe I'll try the full hit next time... These blotters seem like they were 100+ ug each, though (my experienced friends who took 2 were very floored).

The cactus extract, unfortunately, seemed to have no overall effect that I was aware of (unless it kicked in exactly at the same time the LSD did? Doubt it...). I'm not sure what went wrong here. Just an inactive Peruvian Torch?

pitty the mescaline didn't do much, the potency of cactus's vary greaty, so mosy likely u probably got a weak cactus, lucky u had some of that acid ;)
 
in general would that much Peruvian Torch be considered a low, medium or heavy dose?
 
I read conflicting reports as to Peruvian Torch's potency. I think it would largely come down to how it was grown, seeing as it sounds like you prepared the cactus correctly. But I'm not an expert on it seeing as I've never had mesacaline cacti.

Was it grown in ideal conditions all through its life or was it put under stress before harvest? They may not grow as well in the latter but they'll have accumulated more alkaloids.

I'm not sure if raves are the best environment to take psychedelics at. I've had my experiences there and I don't care to do it anymore. But it's your decision, it sounded like you had a fun time.
 
man sitting in the car just waiting for yourself to get straight enough, yeah i know how that is. blows. but safe ! man too bad the torch didn't work :( i've had torch once but i ordered it and took it in gelcap form, with successfull results. best of luck next time!
