Preparing Mescaline.

Sucks, obviously worth it.. But sucks.
Just threw my cactus in the pot. Now to spend the next 4+ sweat filled hours stirring and adding water.
Was gonna do 18 inches of bridgesii, but stuck with 12 since Im almost out of cacti and want to introduce a friend to mescaline.
Anyone else cook it for less time? Or more?
And I don't have anything to chase my tea with tomorrow. I am however using ginger root for the first time, does its stomach ache relieving ability hold up to its reputation?
And for those who let your tea evaporate so you can capsule it, how long does that take?
Thanks in advance as always.

I only boil it until the frothy layer breaks down. No point boiling it for longer IMO.

I usually boil it for 3 washes at about two hours each. I evap it down to a shot glass or so and then pour it on a pyrex tray. Here you have two options: You can place a fan directly on the plate to evaporate it. I also stretch pantyhose over the plate to keep dirt and dust out. Or I have a dehydrator where the top part of it makes the heat - I place that directly on top of the pyrex tray. Option 1 will take four or five days and option 2 will take a day or two.
To scrape it up, I use a handheld boxcutter. I've scoured the hardware stores buying all types of scrapers and the handheld boxcutters seem the best. Go to the painting section for this stuff. I've also found that when scraping, don't put all of your might into it, just go slow and easy and you'll get it. When capsuling, I use the end of a pen to stuff my 00 capsules and sprinkle flour when I need help with consistency and dryness.
This process is an art and eventually it gets easy and you become more efficient at it. It's worth it for me because I can't drink the tea anymore without dry heaving before it gets to my mouth.
12 inches of bridgesii evaporated and stuffed into capsules has always come out to about ten capsules. In the future, boil three feet at a time so you have a few trips ready to go.
What I did recently was take about 7 feet of bridgesii and dry them and then add Everclear. I did three to five Everclear washes on this - its was 210 dried grams of cactus (30 grams per foot). Then I evapped and capsuled. It came out to about five capsules per foot. I mix and match my Everclear pills with my tea pills. However, if I take ten tea pills or five Everclear pills, the ten tea pills make me trip harder.
The lesson is that tea extracts are better than Everclear and for the price of Everclear (I don't use isopropyl) your best bet is tea. Everclear is more convenient because you just put it in a jar and shake it up every once and a while instead being a slave to the stove like a woman.

Yes, I've done ISO and Everclear, they're similar but since its difficult to get your cactus extract to become bone-dry, I don't want to ingest the ISO. For some reason, my Everclear extracts seem a bit stronger than ISO, but who knows, it could all be in my head.
