Cactus Resin

[komet]

I recently had a quick read of the Cactus Resin thread here and it perked my interest.

So, SWIM harvested 12" of a fresh Eileen cutting to see what they could get...but maybe a problem.

I am confident they have done everything right, except that they used vinegar - they cook outdoors so the smell is not a bother. I just went back to the thread for a read, and I noticed everyone saying that citric acid should be used.

I hope they have not just wasted a fat 12" Eileen cutting.

Did they just make a giant boo-boo?

I can't see why using vinegar would be a problem.

Indeed...it definitely wasn't a problem. Oh my.

Awesome

A lot of people don't use acids at all when brewing cactus. I've only ever used citric acid, so I'd be interested in the difference in onset for each type.

yes, no acid is needed! the alks are in acidic form already

Very slow, dosed with 6 large rolled up balls...about 2-3 times the size of coco puffs.

It started with sedation after about an hour, which then moved to waves of chills and slight sweating for another hour. Then altered perception combined with waves of euphoria. Vision became faceted...he stood in front of a mirror for what must have been 30 minutes, looking at his face which had begun to resemble a Picasso cubist painting. Like looking through a crystal.

Oh, he did have a slight vomit episode...very little, nothing about the experience was unpleasant. I think he is ready to move on to a stronger dose.

Hot tip, thanks.
