San Pedro Fresh Dosage

[foilage]

Hello!

First I'd like to say I've lurked on this forum for a while and it has very extremely informational for me. I hope to give back some day.

I have 1350 grams of fresh unpeeled San Pedro Cactus I understand there is some controversy about the potency of the common PC Trichocerus. I have read both ways, and will report back after I test it.

I plan on doing three light boils on this after three freeze/thaw cycles, then decanting, then reducing to a manageable volume.

My problem is I have read conflicting information on dosage. On Erowid it says a person shouldn't dose more than 450g fresh, but many, many people say 12" is a good place to start. This three pounds came off of about 26" of cactus, one 12" and one 14". The two or three people taking this will all be beginners to mescaline. Which metric is better, weight or length? Common sense says weight.

Should I split the tea between two or three people? What mg loads can I expect from this tea?

Thank you for your help!

Hey man, check the attitude page

No discussion on selling, buying, sourcing, acquiring, pricing, trading, mentioning pending deliveries or smuggling of drugs
This includes all isolated psychedelic compounds and RCs (Research Chemicals), whether they are legal or not. The only goods allowed to be discussed are legal live plants, legal viable seeds (both in the Sustainable plant and seed suppliers subforum) and legal/unwatched chemical supplies. See Street Value of DMT (AND WHY YOU SHOULDN'T EVER SELL DMT AND OTHER PSYCHEDELICS) for good reasons why we don't allow this.
Also please read this thread: Bye bye MHRB sourcing talk, we will remember you

There is no sourcing allowed here whatsoever.

In regards to your question, cactus alkaloid content can vary wildly so anywhere from 1-2 feet per person of san pedro usually dose the trick. I typically shoot for two feet.

Sorry, I edited it out. However, isn't San Pedro a legal live plant?

Technically yes, but you were not discussing anything to do with growing or sustaining Cacti. You blatantly mentioned buying it from somewhere with the intent to use it illegally. That is why it isn't allowed. Honestly, it is best to avoid any source discussion in general...it is this kind of talk that led to the downfall of being able to acquire Mimosa Hostillis, especially in the States (Essentially the BBB raid). But I am only trying to enforce the rules, I am not trying to call you out on it just for fun. Anyway, enough with the rules...:d

On a different and more positive note:

You should check out Sharetheseeds.me

That is a place where they discuss growing and sustaining all sorts of psychedelic medicine, including cacti. If you sign up you can even get seeds for free from people. It is an interesting place that is worth looking at.

Anyway, I hope I haven't given you the wrong idea about this place. It really is a great forum because of the higher standards we hold people to in comparison to pretty much every other psychedelic enthusiast sites out there. So, all that being said, Welcome to the Nexus. I hope you enjoy your time here!

Well, aside from checking out the cultivation subsection of the cactus, you can stick it in a pot with a 50/50 mix of tomato compost and grit, pumice, lava, clay chippings, perlite or any mixture thereof and water it fairly generously throughout the summer. Fertilise weekly with half-strength (compared to the normal suggested dilution ratio) organic tomato feed, or even use fresh undiluted urine a couple of times a month.

They love being outdoors in the wind, but beware of sunburn especially at first if they've been kept indoors. Regular misting also helps keep them happy since their natural environment range includes areas with regular fog.

They may tolerate very light air frost, but it's best to bring them undercover before there's any risk of a hard freeze. If you're somewhere where it never, ever freezes, consider planting them in the ground. They can also be protected from light frost with a temporary greenhouse if your winters are generally mild with only the occasional freeze.
