Absolutely no!
I live in Israel and it appears that the is a big field of them up north in noman's land.
I had some experience with SP so i was sure that it is that.
and i can assure you that i know not to go into other people gardens :-)
thanks for the quick reply.

Also i had a look about the best way to use it/
there is a lot of info out there, it seems that drying it and then use it or extract from it is a good way. what are your thoughts about it ?

Thanks for the clarification, that makes more sense.

Good finds indeed!

I would root some of those tips so you have more cacti in the future.
Amen to this. That's what I did with mine a few years back and I'm thankful I did. They grow like weeds here and I now have a lifetime supply because I didn't get greedy and keep rooting new pups!

Congrats on the nice harvest.
 
Nice buddy. I am doing an extract on some San Pedro right now.
Those sure do look like Pedro to me. I am no expert though. Lol.
And i agree with Jamie. You should root some of these. Have more cacti fun in the future. ;)
 
thx everyone!
sure ill root them :) for next generations of their famely.
im thinking of making a brew from it with abit vinigar, then adding salt to it, then lye, then sunflower oil, then to wait for seperation, and then to collect the oil layer, then add vinigar to it and to wait for seperation and then collecting the vinigar and try to evaporate/// something like in lucidlemonades tek.

waht do u think??
 
AvFlying, forget the sunflower oil tek, it is terrible in my opinion and can actually turn your extract into a block of cacti soap.. yes I said soap. Not to mention the possibility of bad emulsions.

I would recommend using house's chunk method to get a resin or manageable amount of liquid extract to work with. Resin Update - Preparation - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus

If you want to further extract that, you can simply basify with Lye, pull with a nonpolar like xylene or toluene, and salt out the mescaline with vinegar, hcl, or sulfuric acid in water. Evap the water and you have an extract. Recrystallize your product to get a purer substance if desired.

Gratz on the great find btw!:thumb_up:

do these things happen because you have such a small window of time to do the pulls?

i would do 69rons tek but theres no d-limo here in my country. and houses tek seems ok but id rather have something easier to dose rather than the resin

Yep. Through a process called saponification the oil with sodium hydroxide will form soap. There is actually a report on the nexus of this happening to someone. The resin tech is incredibly easy actually, as it involves cactus, water, and a small amount of acid. It can be further processed using methods I described above.
