^^As you obviously don't have access to the internet/Wikipedia I looked it up for you: Zofran is prescription-only in the USA. ;)
 
My skinny San Pedro

So I bought this San Pedro last June and I've been raising it on my front porch, watering it once a week. It has more than doubled its height in the time that I've had it, and it is growing nice and strong. It has always been a slender cactus, skinnier than most San Pedros i've seen. Have any of you had any experience with skinny San Pedros such as mine? The spines are very small, and it has only grown a TINY bit wider since I got it. Its been growing taller and taller all the time, though. I don't know when I'm going to harvest it, but when I do, should i eat more b/c my cactus is slender? Thanks for your help, i admit, i wanted to post this for both advice and to show off my little cactus buddy, he's grown so tall. I'm proud:)

i agree, i am about to get him a bigger one....i just keep forgetting. also, for the record, my cactus has 6 sections
 
^Thats fine, I have 7 pointed san pedros.... Yeah bigger pot, and it doesn't really look that skinny. Just reaching for the stars...:)

Hi red earth, I've enjoyed your reports too.

You were asking earlier about the "other alkaloids" (.85 grams) in cactus that swept through the 2.5 micron filter, while the mescaline (5 grams) collected on top during my latest extraction process:

Here is a paper (one of the best on the web) that describes the effects of some of those alkaloids when they were isolated and taken by Dr. Heffter (from peyote). Towards the end of the paper, Dr. Heffter describes several of his trips taking 150mg of pure mescaline (the closed eye visuals), extracts of peyote; He does comparisons, etc.

Ah awesome, thank you!
 
Can you ID this cactus?



My friend has had this cactus for along time and is wondering what type it is. They all look alike to us. Can anyone ID?

mods please move thread to appropriate place

I wasn't quite sure where this belong, psychedelic experience was what I was thinking but mods know best.
 
We can give it a try... but be aware that ID threads over the Interrnet can never be 100%. Cactus is easier than most however.
 
I wasn't looking for a "will this fuck me up" answer, I live in the PNW right now... I just wanted to know if someone could give me the scientific name.

Thanks for the laugh.
 
Thanks RedEarth for the alcohol recipe, I've tried that about 6 times, but it gave me nausea after the 2nd time...I can't stomach it at all anymore, the ony thing I can hadle (my system is very sensitive) is tan to pure white to translucent crystal:

http://forums.mycotopia.net/botanic...428-crystal-clear-mescaline-hcl-easy-pie.html

I am currently doing a re-crystallization in dreams to yield pure white to translucent crystals, will have photos up in a few weeks.

I once made an everclear extract of cactus with lemon juice and heated it for fast extract but ended up throwing up for 3 hours. I never get any nausea, not even a hint with clean extracted tan to white mescaline at 400mg and less doses taken at 100mg increments every 1/2 hour.

Glad you like the heffter.org link on peyote & mescaline, one of my favorites...I printed it out and read it at the beach on Santa Monica, what a trip, that's when I knew I would follow the path. Then having done tan clean mescaline 12 times after that (and having incredible euphoric experiences) I decided to go for the pure crystal.

^With the alchohol extraction, could I simply let the alchcohol evaporate off without flame, perhaps sitting it in a certain spot for a while? I only have a gas stove here :(
 
Yes, no heat at all is needed with an alcohol extraction, that was my mistake, trying to use heat to "speed" it up. The alcohol is plenty efficient to extract the goods over time without the use of heat. Don't ever add heat and lemon juice together to your extract like I did once, completely unnecessary, it will cause a pro-longed throwing up session with most people. Just pour your alcohol extract into a glass or pyrex brownie dish and place it under a fan blowing on the high setting. It will evaporate down in little time.

The entheogen review has a good article on how to do the alcohol extract. Volume XV, Number 4...Winster Solstice 2006...pages 120-122 called "mescaline for the masses". I've seen backissues available. Also, a guy named "Ekstaza" was the originator of the process years ago, he used the alcohol extract for years and years, look up his hundred or so posts on this at the shroomery.org, he then graduated to extracting the pure mescaline about a year ago, he uses an acetone wash as does everyone else to get it to the "tan" looking stage, good stuff indeed. You can go further, and then re-crystallize it (see link above) to get 99.9% pure stuff, super-potent, fast, and clean acting.
