So it's been about 20 min since I chugged down 20g of cacti I dried/powdered/de-cored myself. I drank sweet coffee to help with the awful taste of the cactus. Still, I gagged a couple times thinking i'm going to hurl. All is down the hatch and i feel a little "off" (caffeine?), but nothing reminiscent of mescaline. Only thing is, my whole body feels like it's "charging" - as if i had way too much caffeine (I haven't). Will update as i go along. Wish me luck peeps !
PS- what does a mescaline come-on supposed to feel like?

The overcaffinated feeling can happen on low doses of psychedelics. So good news is your cactus is active, bad news is 20g is probably on the light side. If you had 1% mescaline by weight that's only a 200mg dose.

About a year and half ago I bought a baby. I believe of the same cut. I'd have to go check. She sure is growing slow. Got her in a window and she seems happier than under lights. Nice and healthy, About 15 inches and as fat a one of those super fat sharpie markers. I had planned on doing an extraction sometime, and now I've realized I should keep her alive and take cuts, and wait and eventually give her a nice spot in the southwest. It looks like it will be many years before I sample this particular cactus. I suppose I should order some of the dried variety while I wait.

you should put it outside in spring, summer and fall, protect from freezing and water often. Mine grow a little more than a foot a year and they often pup.

I regret that the first three years I had mine, I didn't water them much but one of them was in a place that happened to get regularly watered and it got three times bigger than the others. When I started with light fertilizer twice a year they grew even faster.

Okay, so there was definitely something in this cactus. Having said that... I really think my Rx meds are weakening what would otherwise be a "trip". Nausea has finally gone away.. and so have the muscle-spasms/twitches. I don't know why, but I ALWAYS get muscle tension/twitching whenever I dose cactus. I feel closer to my surroundings and nature, yet the experience is "held-back" and not fully intense. Damn pharmaceuticals-

40-60 grams should get you there next time then, yes? perhaps skip the rx's the day before and of if possible, maybe that might help...
Mike, something tells me this dose would have been "plenty" had not for the fact i'm on some psychiatric meds. I'm doing the research as we speak, since i'm not going to trade-off - if i can help it. 4 hrs later, i'm still def feeking the effects of the cactus. Undoubtedly, they would be much stronger save for all the lithium i have in my system..

that's something you want to look into before eating the cacti

yes,yes, true indeed. From personal past shroom trips, i've gathered there is a "blocking" or otherwise hindering mechanism (chemical -docking process). It's best to just abstain from Rx meds to ensure things go as smoothly as planned. The question really becomes a personal one at that point. Is the trip worth the risk.. hmm

But seriously. Going to do some research on each one of my meds and its' potentiall effect /coeffect with mescaline. One thing i really don't like right- off are the Fucking muscle spasms i get during come-up. Xanax works fine with that though. I have not heard of any reports where cacti causes such muscle-spasms. Is this normal?

I find taking a benzo before a trip or during the come up dampens the whole experience and isn't worth it.
Heroic doses can break through psych drugs but that's a rather risky practice.

Nothin risky about 5 grams duck


But my brother has been on lithium carb for like 10+ years and he can still trip like all hell lol. Everyone is different though. He recently got on paxil and was quite unhappy when he got his hand on some PE and they didnt do much.

Whew, so now it's 10.5 hrs from the time i dosed the cactus. Still feel "off" and effects come in "waves" but i can type now. All in all, i feel the experience would have been PLENTY STRONG, had it not been for the cocktail of meds I take for bi-polar disorder. These meds just lessened the whole experience (which was still quite profound). In a distant future, when my peyotes will be ready to harvest, i will be sure to purify my system of any toxins (especially Rx meds) which DO lessen / inhibit the experience. This particular cactus was definitely magical, meds non-withstanding. I got obvious open and closed-eye visuals which were quite intricate/spectacular at times (especially with CEV's). Anyway, just wanted to share my experience with you all -:peace:
