My mate has ordered 60 grams of dried San Pedro cactus cuts from a reliable source and plans to consume it tomorrow. He hasn't had much experience with psychedelics, apart from some Magic Mushrooms, Salvia and those shitty Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Seeds. My mate was asking me how he should prepare the 60 grams, how he should set out his environment, what kind of experience it will be. I told him that I'd post up here to help him get some different view points. Other than that, he cannot wait to sample Mescaline for the first time.

So, any one care to start?


Or wait...

Is a mod going to close this thread and tell me to "search the forums"? Hmmmm :|
 
You'd get much better responses if you asked direct questions like 1) this 2)that 3)wibble ;)

Firstly check out the The Big & Dandy Basic Mescaline/Cactus Questions Thread (and don't be surprised if your thread is merged with it)
60g is quite a large dosage so he should expect a very strong experience. A common dosage for cactus is around 35g. That said, mescaline is a very easy going psychedelic I've personally never had a bad experience from it...
As for preparation the easiest (though time consuming) way to eat it is to powder it and put it into capsules. After that is tea, but I can guarantee that it will be the most disgusting tea you've ever tasted in your life. It's more like an intensely bitter gritty soup of snot than tea, with a potent and horrible aroma.

I dont think 60 grams of san pedro is that large of a dose. Of course some will be stronger than others but I consider 60gs of strong san pedro a moderate dose. That being said Ive been underwhelmed by 60 grams of good quality peruvian torch so I may have a natural tolerance. If it is in powder form you can either eat the powder or do an extraction using 99% rubbing alcohol or everclear. Do not try to make tea out of cactus powder. It will absorb all the water and turn into a goopy mess, I once wasted 80 grams of P.T. trying this.

EDIT: Just realized you said it was not in powder form

Last time I took some san pedro I did 200 grams made into a tea. It was pretty disgusting for sure, but it was worth it I guess. It was pretty intense, I might do 150 next time. But honestly I think 80-100 g to be a good place to start if you want something decent.
 
60g is a very small dose - you're going to have to go through something akin to medieval torture to actually swallow it so I wouldn't put yourself through that and then get a threshold dose.
 
50g for me was a very strong trip, on par with my 3.5g mushroom trip - but perhaps I had very potent chips...
 
I have no experience using dried material; the two times I tripped on San Pedro I used fresh cuttings so I have no idea how much I ate weight-wise, but the last time was from a 18" long section. (The cactus was prepared in a semi-traditional manner, except that I let most of the water evaporate during the boiling step.)

The comeup may be sedating. It feels like you're going to fall asleep, and there might be some nausea at this point. But as the trip progresses, things can turn 180 degrees and you (well, your friend) will be wired, probably to the gills. In fact, the energy it gave me was so extreme it felt like I was going to have a heart attack or suffer a CVA or something. It was probably the most colorful psychedelic I've ever taken, though the visuals weren't very well-defined. The overall mood was good. I felt clear-headed and was able to converse over the phone without giving any sign that I was tripping.

Very much worth the experience, and any time spent in preparation of it. I just wish I didn't live so high up, since I'd really love to grow the stuff (along with about 20 other fair-weather plants ;) )
 
I would say over 100g is where the visuals get good, anything less it will just be like a mild mushroom or lsd trip. I agree with being wired, mescaline always makes me feel like im on speed or something. After tripping for 12 hours and trying to sleep, I took 6 mg etizolam (and I had no tolerance at the time, 2 mg usually puts me out like a light) and I still didn't sleep a wink.

Oh and 200g made me puke harder than I've ever hurled in my life- like I was gonna have a hernia when it was over lol. But it was great, the visuals were so intense I could barely see, although my mental clarity was still there. Cant say good enough things about mescaline...
