So its easter weekend coming up and im thinking seeing as ill be off to a beautiful psychedelic outdoor festival with some friends swim will organize to bring some of the sacred cactus along.

swim has been keeping this nice piece in his house for about a year now with plans to one day plant it in his garden. The things so damn huge that swim is thinking it could be put to better use and the top can be left to grow some roots.
The last process swim tried didnt work out so well so swim is hoping any experienced psychonauts can help give advice on his new method for preparation.
This is the process that was tried last time:
1. Roughly 2m whole cactus chopped into slices and dried for about 2-3 days.
2. Slices then chopped into smaller cubes and mix was put into a stainless steel pot wither enough water to cover.
3. A few drops of lemon juice was added and the mix was set to a light simmer(If swim noticed the mix began to start steaming he would turn off the stove for a few minutes).
4. The mix was boiled with this process for roughly 3-4 hours then the water was strained through a t-shirt into a second pot.
5. Both pots were set to a light simmer with the first pot having new water added to it.
6. Steps 3 and 4 where repeated until the cactus mixture was not so bitter anymore. the cactus mixture was discarded.
7. The remaining golden liquid filled roughly 3 pots and was brought down to one pot over the period of 2-3 days with a light simmer. During this period swim moved to a new kitchen.
8. Once the liquid filled one pot it was brought down to a dark brown colored resin using a light simmer.
Once the Mixture was brought down to a dark brown gooey resin we tried 3-4 small tea cups of this mixture which was undoubtedly fowl as all hell!
We waited about 3 hours and had a slight tingle but no real effect.. I ended up throwing up after trying a fourth cup of the disgusting mixture that looked so promising...
Next swim plans to try a even more simple method that was explained to him last year:
1. Use only the green part under the skin. This will be done by slicing frsh cactus, despinning and using a carrot pealer to carefully peal the skin off aswell as cut out the middle section.
2. using these light green peals boil in a stainless steel pot for 15 minutes using water and no lemon juice.
3. This mixture is strained through a t-shirt into a new pot which is also set to boil the mixture down. The first pot will only boil for 15 minutes before being strained into the 2nd pot.
4. the mixture is simmered down and the cactus mixture is eventually discarded after the bitterness is gone from the first pot.
5. This mixture is then simmered down and added to bottles and put in the freezer over night.
6. Let the mixture defrost and put in a Pyrex dish and let evaporate at a slight tilt.
7. swim has been told that the mescaline once frozen will separate from the other alkaloids and using a Pyrex dish at a slight angle will let the alkaloids sink to the bottom and mescaline will be left at the top.
this method im told was told to swim when he was not in the best state to hear the advice and he has more then likely forgotten alot of steps
.
any advice from the frequent flyers?
