The Big & Dandy Basic Mescaline/Cactus Questions Thread - Round Two!

[Changed]

I'm thinking that since it's winter already, stunting the growth of the cactus would be damn-near impossible. I guess I'll just take it out of the pot and remove as much of the mulch as possible and re-pot it. Hopefully it doesn't die!

 

[kandytime]

I know a guy who has some 'mescaline pills' or so he claims, being skeptical of a pill form I decided to pose the question here. Is it possible for it even to be in pill form? I'm thinking of dropping two of them for a club setting, what should I expect on a mild mescaline trip? Yes, it will be my first time.

 

[jam uh weezy]

^mesc in a pressed pill form sounds highly unlikely...not impossible but i'd would be very skeptical as well. ask him some questions, probe around... the effects really depend on the dosage. from a mild stimulating and euphoric mood lift, to full blown psychedelic trip. read up on trip reports.

changed, if your plant is leaning towards the sun, it may not be getting enough direct sunlight...
you could loosen up the soil and use stakes with garden tape to hold it up. if it's healthy and not in any immediate danger, i would just leave it till spring.

Yeah I left the plant in NY for the summer where they don't get much sun to begin with. I don't think my mom turned that often either.

I actually just took the cactus out and knocked the excess mulch off the roots, put some new mulch in and straightened it up a bit. Added some rocks for a beautiful new cactus aesthetic

Years upon years. It'll be fine, as someone mentioned a few posts above mescaline is very stable.

Longer than you. They've found Peyote buttons thousands of years old in tombs, analysed them and found no noteworthy degradation in mescaline content.

Many thanks.

I just got a bizarre culinary idea: cooking a cactus and cannabis into one food or drink. I am thinking of boiling the cactus to a small volume and adding it to cannabis cookie dough. Ionno if baking that (at somewhere from 300-400 degrees Fahrenheit) would damage the mescaline though. If it does, then either a make some no-bake cookies or a drink with coconut or dairy milk.

• Wouldn't damage the mescaline.
• Would make your cookies taste foul.

[pseudononamouse]

Would make your cookies taste foul.

Heh yeahhhhhhhhhh I know. They would be SO worth the taste though. I think it would be an extremely intense trip, even with a pretty small dose. Imma see if I can find any trip reports of combining mescaline and oral weed.

 

[Vader]

^^^^^A pressed mescaline pill would be gigantic, it would be possible to fit a dose of mescaline into a capsule but it would be a lot of material.

 

[Feste]

On the plus side the weed should help a lot with any nausea.

Well... I must say that last evening was an amazing san pedro experience.

I bought 3 12" clippings, boiled them all over a low simmer for about 8 hours, drained through cheese cloth, and proceeded to drink down about three 8 oz glass over the course of an hour. This time, I made sure to keep it at a very low simmer just bordering on a sliight boil.

I started to feel tingles after about an hour, but it wasn't until 2+ hours that it stated to come on strongly. It lasted most of the night! It was more of a body high than a head fuck, but my thinking was most definitively scattered, as it still is 18 hours later. there were lots of Phen visuals with enhanced colors, trails, and blurred/double vision. I was feeling more overstimulated than I was comfortable with, much like the 2C's do to me, so I ate down a bunch of Xanax to chill out a little. It didn't really blunt the trip, just relaxed me a little more.

My lesson leaned is to ALWAYS boil down all 3 12" clippings if you want more intense effects. No moer just boiling down just 18" thinking that should be enough. I can always stop drinking once it is prepared instead of starting a whole new cook once I run out

Well... just thought I'd pass along my experience in case it can be of hep to others. Always prepare more than what you think you'll need so you can still drink more if you're not where you want to be.

 

[jam uh weezy]

^Did you puke at all?

Glad to hear it worked out for you . Sometimes I love the stimulating properties, but some varieties I notice have more stimulation and/or more body load that makes it impossible for me to stay relaxed and in one place at a time. I notice it alot in my shoulders if I've been using them alot the day before.

Yeah I left the plant in NY for the summer where they don't get much sun to begin with. I don't think my mom turned that often either.

I agreea a layer of rocks really add a nice aesthetic value.

If you ever feel your pots don't get adequate drainage, you can always add a few inches of perlite to the bottom layer. Perlite is very light too so it won't make the pot way too heavy. /random tip

General Peyote Questions

I have been for awhile, and am still extremely interested in the peyote cactus.

my mom has taken it and told me that you puke and then the trip is very peaceful but i'd like to know more in specifics.

How much do you take?

How Hard is it to come by?

How long do you puke for (and is it guaranteed you'll puke)?

What is the trip like (looking for a detailed description)?

any other general knowledge on peyote would be much appreciated though I'm not planning on trying it any time soon.

 

[Help?!?!]

Theres no real reason to take peyote. It takes atleast 10 years to mature and its endangered. You also need to eat around 10 or so buttons to have a strong trip. It contains mescaline and so does san pedro and peruvian torch among others that are not endangered.

I'd also recommend using peruvian torch or san pedro instead of peyote. They contain mescaline too, but grow faster and aren't endangered. Here's our Big & Dandy Cactus/Mescaline thread for all your cactus/mescaline related questions. Be sure to check out the links in the first post.

It's not hard to come by if you start looking for trichocereus (san pedro, peruvian torch, etc.) cacti. Just keep in mind sourcing is not allowed on this website.

thanks! and don't worry. i don't plan on looking for any drugs online. way too easy of a way to get legal action taken. i'll just look around town if i need something.

 

[Feste]

Peyote isn't endangered. It's listed as Apparently Secure by the NScs.

I'd still go for the other though, purely because they grow so quickly in comparison.

How much do you take?

Depends. I recommend doing it in an authentic ceremony if possible. It depends on if they have other forms of the cactus, like dried up powder, or tea.

How Hard is it to come by?

Depends where you live. My understanding is that if you don't live in the Southwest US, it's going to be very very rare.

How long do you puke for (and is it guaranteed you'll puke)?

It's definitely not guaranteed that you'll puke. Nausea, almost guaranteed. And puking, you'll find, is a cleansing experience on peyote.

What is the trip like (looking for a detailed description)?

As with every psychedelic, this is largely a question you can't find an answer to. It's totally dependent on the person. As for me, I didn't hallucinate at all, but had a very wonderful experience. To find a detailed description, ask yourself after you've taken it.

any other general knowledge on peyote would be much appreciated though I'm not planning on trying it any time soon.

It is not a drug. It is medicine. You'll see what I mean. %)

 

[Shambles]

Medicines are drugs

Peyote is actually pretty easy to find. If you don't mind growing it yourself that is. You can also find it for sale online pretty easily if you don't want to wait 10+ years to grow it yourself but we obviously can't get into source discussion. I've never sampled it but it's certainly out there if you look

You can find detailed descriptions of peyote trips in the Trip Report forum here and also on Erowid.

If I use the simple juice extraction method, cooking slowly over the course of a few hours, then reduce the liquid in a coated pan into a gummy substance, will I still have the same amount of alkaloids in the final product, or will much of it be lost to evaporation?
