Yes I certainly should have tested the ph, Unfortunately I don't have the tools to check the ph though.
"Oh well, it could be a highly acidic irritant, but I guess its still probably ok to TO PUT INSIDE MY A**HOLE" :shock: :shock: :shock:
But hey, whatever turns you on.

***EDIT***
This comment was meant in good fun--I honestly meant to use the phrase "turns you on" in the same manner in which Leary and the McKenna's used it...upon re-reading, it sounded a pretty inflammatory--if not down-right rude.
I more meant to call attention to how mystified I am by the my continual discovery of how "out there" people will get when it comes to getting high...don't get me wrong, although I have no intention of ever pursuing such an R.O.A, I'm not here to pass judgment. BUT I will never understand people who will put something in(side) their bodies without taking even the most basic precautions or, like, asking someone if it is a good idea?
If I may be so bold, n,n-DMT, when you had this nightmare: did you literally just boil acidified cactus for a period of several hours, let it cool, and then shoot it into your butt? You even say yourself that as you were doing it you were asking yourself "how desparate are you??? why are you doing this to yourself?!?!" And you still did it?!
I'm really not trying to be inflammatory here, as I said, I simply do not understand...would you care to elaborate as to why, exactly you woke up day, looked at a cactus, and said "yup...I should put that in my.... I bet that would get me high as hell."
Maybe I've just never heard of/read any discussion of this R.O.A. -- I've heard of it being done with pills/rolls, but is also this a common method of taking other psych's?? It just seems soooo much more difficult/chancy.
What if that had actually made you trip?? What would you have done if you had to spend many hours *on mescaline/cactus alkaloids* with that stuff feeling like it was burning you from the guts outward...I only ask because, when first reading your post, before I even got to the part where you discussed the procedure and its results...actually right when I read the thread title, my first instinctual thought (upon reading the words "cactus enema"--knowing/hoping he meant liquid
) was "Jesus, that sounds like it would BURN like a mofo!"
I really hope this hasn't come off as me being an asshole, I guess if I receive a lot of negative response I'll just delete this post.
I'm sorry I just find the whole idea sooo confounding....
