Rising Star
Ive been a bit obsessed with San Pedro for the last year - I started growing three, which became six over the year with pups and then in the last month as spring sprung I managed to get cuttings from 6 inches to 5 feet from friends and strangers who's cacti were overgrown or broken by wind.
I tried Peyote years ago and although it was subtle enjoyed the effects - I'm a massive fan of Huichol art and have lots around the house. Not sure what the seeds I planted out back are doing but not seen any growth just yet.
So I finally got around to consuming some San Pedro in the last couple of months - three different methods.
The first I tried was the tea itself - but the material has been the same for all the experiences.
Started out using about 2 feet of a stressed looking cutting that hadn't really been watered for a very long time.
Cut out the woody bark and crockpotted it on low for about three days with half a lemon adding water when needed.
Ended up with about a liter of juice / green goop. Drank about a third and enjoyed a very pleasant day - nothing overwhelming but occasional 'breaking through' of the crystalline castles of hyperspace into the scenery and amazing CEVs - regular fractals that all seemed to be relate to the cacti in general, the pattern of San Pedro and the pups.
The remaining liquid I had planned on attempting an extraction on but decided to keep all the talks together and dried the tea.
What remained I put into a coffee grinder and then infested tequila with it which I kept agitating for three days - turning it a deep green. I then filtered out the sediment and let it dry.
The tequila was consumed on ski slopes with several people all enjoying the beverage - which tasted not dissimilar to soapy water. Nobody drunk enough to get into a heavy trip but all could feel noticeable effects - including outstanding dreams. Personally Im quite sensitive and was seeing lights of that 'other' place familiar from Ayahuasca - the clear light? Not sure what I'd call it exactly but it was like the disco hyperspace of Changa breaking through.
The remaining sediment I really had no idea if anything was in it - but i was dried out andt went back into the coffee grinder.
Now this stuff is my favorite of the lot - I probably ended up with an ounce of it and have been packing it into 000 capsules and taking them every few days for a couple of weeks.
The experience is almost always similar to the tequila shots - very mild but very noticeable perhaps particularly to me as I am sensitive ( a single small mushroom is a great pick me up I find - with little to no deterioration of social skills wihile improving my mood and thinking)
Ive also taken them a couple times before bed for some great dreams.
Has anyone else had similar experiences with dried tea? I think thats what I will do when I next section one of my prized Pedros - I have 19 now.
I'm not avoiding doing the full blown San Pedro experience but it's a lot of cactus to grow - plus I always have spice around and ayahuasca.
I seem to just love the therapeutic medicine these low doses give me - as with psylosybin the many alkaloid so doubt mimic serotonin and I think this is one of the most pleasant mood lifters to date that Ive encountered. More so than small mushroom doses as even with very small mushroom doses I can feel the mushroom all the time. San Pedro powder I'll feel for 5 minutes meditating or with my eyes closed - then go off and do something and I can come back to it again and its there. Truly an amazing spirit.
Id love to do the full mescaline extraction but think I'd actually feel like I was wasting sacred cactus.
Would love to hear your thoughts - and has anyone ever lived dried Pedro into a change mix? Or used it with Caapi?
Both of those are experiments I'm tempted by.
Peace and Light
