Still eagerly awaiting your trip report!

psychedelics like shrooms or 2ci, 2cp, acid and cactus all seem to give me tremors in my legs mostly, some what annoying they are. They don't hurt, but they make it hard to lie still and relax. Is this a common reaction ? at leased salvia does not do that. I don't know anything about magnesium supplements. Is magnesium use with this type of plant a common practice ?

endlessness said:well to know what is the exact ideal temperature, we would need a study that analyses the solubility of mescaline and other alks in water at different temperatures, as well as the stability of these compounds in these temperatures, and I dont think this exists.
But yeah, the point is, stay under the boiling point, this has been shown by people here to be good...
You can use a gas stove anyways.. You can either improvise some metal support that holds the pot farther away from the fire, which shouldnt be too hard, and/or you can, as you said, alternate between having the fire on and off.. the disadvantage of this last option is of course that you have to be around and paying attention, but I dont see why you couldnt do it, as long as you dont let it heat too much and start boiling.
my understanding is that it is very stable but at high or low pH at high temps it can cycle from a PEA to an Isoquinoline, likewise other PEAs found in these plants, like variations on DMPEA like 3,4-DMPEA, can also cycle into Isoquinolines. This can be done a number of ways, one of which is the Pictet–Spengler reaction and is more likely to occur in hot acid conditions, this is known as Pictet-Spengler tetrahydroisoquinoline synthesis and uses PEAs as a substrate.dg said:tons of proof that mescaline is fine at well above boiling temps, are you concerned about the "other alkaloids"?
As the Health Canada study shows, often people get alkaloids that are totally unknown to science. While many forms like bridgesii selections can have mescaline in decent amounts and have only traces of anything else, it is not uncommon for peruvianoid and macrogonus selections to have other alkaloids in fairly decent amounts. Isoquinolines and tyramine variations seem to be the most common.what other alkaloids in Specific do people think they are getting? at what temperatures or in what environments do they degrade? maybe hot acidic "simmers" ruin or change some of them? and if so, into what???
A lot of research is actually planned or underway, likewise a lot of information has come to light in the last 3 years than is not online or in publication. I have learned a lot in private conversations regarding this topic and will not provide references here. It is my understanding that the knowledge of this topic that is present online is largely outdated and often misinformed, but since most of the data being passed around in 30+ years old then that makes sense.are these the alkaloids causing the subjective differences noted between resin and pure extracts/types and strains of cacti?
who knows-so little real research has been done
