in regard to the extractions based on trichocereus like those mentioned above:
what exactly is a 'full spectrum' extraction? (i'd say a water only extraction will give a fairly full spectrum)
what alkaloids or chemicals exactly is or isn't in there? compare cold processed tea or raw to an a/b...
I think most evidence people use to support full spectrum extract ideas is very subjective or hear say
or placebo (mescaline is what gets you high, the 'other alkaloids affecting the experience' is rumor spread around by people over the years. Just my opinion and dont mean to offend, but really, what are these other alkaloids and what are their properties?
there are far more alkaloids in peyote, and considerable amounts of them that might or might not be extracted properly with an acid base extraction. who knows?!
personally, i wouldn't extract lophophora, eat it or make a simple tea
