Can I ask how you consumed your Pedro?AcaciaConfusedYah said:Can't wait to read the Article!
My first cacti experience was AWESOME! I've taken a smaller dose 2 times since then. I'm sold for life....
According to some folks on here, the San Pedro I used was a PC clone, meaning it likely had lower alk content. I still had a BLAST!
I have some peruvian torch and and bridgesii on the way - hopefully the middle or end of next week.
I have peyote - and actually acquired my little peyote loves before I ever tried mescaline - but I can't bring myself to even consider eating the buttons. They are my pals.
A lot can be learned from observing an organism like a cactus. Ironically, mescaline is a very stable molecule with a high boiling point, and does not easily oxidize.... this, to me, is the most interesting part of the cacti experience. Observing, taking part in, and becoming aware of Evolutionary traits that have developed in these organisms that stand the test of time.... Drought? no worries. Low nutrient content in the soil? Not an issue. Insects and pests? Nah, not many threats. Animals that prey on them? Not many, thorns hurt!
I have never heard of a mescaline experience that lasted more than 12-13 hours or so. Of course, that doesn't mean it has never happened, just that it isn't particularly common. I have however heard of people participating in peyote ceremonies in which multiple doses are consumed over the course of several days.wakeup said:One question about the experience though. I always heard a peyote trip lasted three days when I was younger. From what I read many people don't like how long it lasts but nothing I've read really explains how.long the duration really is. I know its dose dependent but let's say I took 500mg. How long can I expect the peak to last and then the entire experience.
I stand corrected.dg said:a strong dose can easily last 20-24hrs, peaking for 12-16
Thanks for the info! I am always wondering how I might finally consume some cactus when the time comes. I have eaten some of my pedro but it tasted so awful I had to stop. I don't think I even ate 6 inches of it. Sounds like a tough break but well worth it in the end. I love entheogens and have been longing for a proper mescaline experience.AcaciaConfusedYah said:I've made a resin each time - following house's tek (where is he? Does anyone know? Is he okay?). Since my last post, I've aquired some Peruvian torch and bridgesii. I made more resin and some tea(that was mixed with mushroom tea) out of the Bridgesii and a small amount of torch.
Holy cow. What a difference. The San Pedro was a great experience, but my last cacti journey was Monday night - and completely blew the SP out of the water.
I consumed a very small amount of the resin that I made out of the Bridgesii - about the size of a marble. what a euphoric experience! I could not stop laughing. That hasn't happened in quite a few years. Usually, I'm pretty quiet and focused when I bond with the molecules from plants. This time, it was like a full body orgasm and total pleasure.
I have not tried pure mescaline HCl, but I'll look into that process next. I'm sold.
Here's a little thing I made out of a Ganoderma sp. mushroom, just for fun. And to say thanks to the cacti.
Hostilis - great article! Thanks for putting that together for us. It was really well written
