I know you also meant it jokingly but I'm starting to develop a reverence for cacti, I really do think they're beautiful. I even feel a bit guilty about cutting a branch or two off this huge cactus that seriously won't be bothered by it.
I have a question, and I'm having trouble finding info anywhere... I won't be using mescaline for another five or six weeks at any rate, because first I have my 2c-b trip coming up and I like to leave a good space between trips, for psychonautical discipline. So the thing is, I'm not sure whether to cut now, or wait until the day before the trip. I called someone yesterday who says that you should leave the cutting in a dark space for about a month before cooking it, because this will potentiate the mescaline. This sounds like an urban legend to me. On the other hand, he's cultivated cacti before, so he's supposed to know what he's talking about.
Should I cut now, or wait?
