New to Cactus. Where to start?

[KwisatzHaderach]

Hello! So I've read many a great deal of cacti experience that seem like a pure delight. Seeing that San Pedro is readily available locally, what is the best way to get started? Are they're easier, cleaner, better TEKs than others? Will there always be nausea? Any help or information in the right direction would be appreciated!

~Peace and Love

As mescaline is incredibly bitter, it's possible that a bitter taste doesn't mean it's that active.

However if you know your cactus and does taste revoltingly bitter, it's a good little test.

T bridgesii skins, powedered, 2tbl spoons will knock your socks off. It's all you need. if you can't drink it hen yah got business fooling around with it. when I taste it now it's almost sweet, its taste is that of my ally. I love it. People learn to bitters because of what they do for them. People
actually learn to like the taste.

Considering extraction of mescaline, allot depends on what (grade) chemicals and equipment are available to you.
Perhaps go from there.

Personally i would recommend the 69ron tek using xylene as NP, and HCl for salting. I have seen good results (literally) with this method.
The raw extraction product is easy to clean with acetone and IPA.

If you insist on using vinegar for salting it is advised to do a search for the goo factor.

First, thank you all for the replies. This definitely gave me some information to get started with. I'm very interested in the resin ball TEK. I've read a few of your reports elru and they sound really delightful.

But I think I'm going to table this discussion till I get some more information/supplies. I'm not sure if my local nurseries will start selling cacti till Spring

Now it's time to do some more reading~!

yes ginger works wonders for nausea. make sure to not use too much heat when brewing. (I don't even let it get to boiling)
