Growing Cactus in Bodybuilding Powder

I have a good idea for a potentiating fertilizer for cactus. I am getting 10 rooted T. Brigdesii plants and have a novel idea for fertilizer. Has anyone tried using body building powder? it contains a lot of things like tyrosine, phenyalanine, etc, that are precursers to psychoactive chemicals, in fact, it is so potent it can be dangerous to take with MAOI's. I was thinking, keeping the cactus sitting in a good supply of body building powder could possibly really get the alkaloid content up. BTW, 4 plants are going into the southern new mexico desert, to see if they can take hold and fruitfully multiply....

ferrel_human said: you would have some jacked up plants but that is still up for debate and discussion. who knows how those things actually work? there is also a thought stressing cacti to make for more potent plants. i think when less water is present, the alkies are more concentrated. but that is just wishful thinking.
you should have put this in the EG. we would have had a hell of time discussing it there.

c'mon people lets not be so quick to dismiss.
adam gottliebs books says that those chemicals ARE precursors to alakloids. if thats true or not, and he has some extra cacti he could do some experiments. i think it would be a good idea with the intention of using less bad tasting cacti to get a better trip.
personalyy i would not do it. psychadelics are not really my thing. i keep my boys around for some odd vibe they give off. if that even sounds normal. but do it man and then see what comes of it. it would be very interesting to say the least.

I'm not dismissing anything, I just thought the picture was fitting. I honestly have no idea how it would turn out, lol.

This sounds like a complete fail, but go for it if you want
Its not quite as simple as it sounds, plant biology just doesn't work that way. But hey, I'm an experimentation freak, so I'd still say go for it

I grow my cacti with weed. all of my stems, scraps, and ashes are tossed into the pots. It only makes sense because that's where I do all of my toking. I get high with my cacti, it's great, I feel a real connection there.

You might want to be careful with the ashes, if your a heavy smoker they may kill your cacti

Nah, maybe about 2 bowl packs of ash per day, if that. I mainly feeed it to my 4 foot bridgesii and it seems to like it because it's growing so beautifully right now.

Maybe it contains a lot of potash

Okay, so here's the plan:
We're going to tissue culture a slurry of human stem cells with a bunch of lophophora cambium and maybe some rattlesnake venom. Expect a pretty high failure rate, but eventually we should wind up with a +Homo 'williamsii' chimera. From here it can either be grafted onto a Pereskiopsis, or inserted into a womans uterus. In roughly 9 months we will have the very first cactus man. Then we can inject it with steroids and brainwash it to be the ultimate cactus warrior. It will then proceed to wander the desert protecting its Lophophora brethren from poachers.
