400mg was quite strong for SWIM, but he still hasn't quite reached the LSD-like levels that he's reached with the brew. He's still left wondering whether that's simply a matter of dosage or whether heating has effected it at all.
Still waiting till tomorrow to test drive, mescaline virgin also, cant wait, I think me and mescaline are gonna be good friends.
SWIM tried 10g in capsules of ground up pieces of san pedro from FV and found it to be pretty stimulating at that dose... swim went to a reggae show and had lots of energy to dance, but felt over-stimulated and had to drink about 5 beers to feel grounded again... this worked out well cause the beer helped swim to relax and the cactus kept him up and full of energy, which was really a nice balance... swim felt like he was a lot less affected by drinking than usual, as he would most likely not drink that much if he wasn't so energized... paradoxically, it seems that SWIM is able to handle the energizing effects of cactus better at higher doses when it starts to have visual effects.69ron said:SWIM has tried Pedro from HP and FV many times now and both were excellent with 100 g of skins always yielding over 1 gram (5 grams in one case!). Like anything natural though, the potency is going to vary from lot to lot. I suspect that the time of year its harvested affects potency.ommani said:what a bummer... based on comments in the supplier thread, SWIM was under the impression that Heavenly was reputed to have good cactus and got a bunch of it...Jorkest said:SWIM has had less than good yields from Heavenly..and the material is barely active..Psychonaut1613 said:So my friend told me the following story...
I have done two pulls with two different San Pedro powder's from two different sources(Heavenly products and compras peru) and both times the yield was only 500mgs.
Jorkest said:yeah it looks like its fumaric acid...its too bad i didnt see your post about mescaline fumarate...OH well.it was a small batch anyway..
is there any way of recovering the mescaline or is it lost?
Jorkest said:most certainly not...every time you pull you are getting a slightly different mix...this even happens when extracting dmt

Yeah, just add hydrochloric acid to make mescaline HCl from it. Unfortunately you can’t do this with vinegar because fumaric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid.
The other option is to freebase it by mixing it with alkaline water (pH 11 is good enough). Then after freebasing it, salt it out with vinegar or HCl.
