Second time with T. Bridgesii, questions

So, this will be my second time making tea out of T. Bridgesii. The first time, I used 12" total, and reduced it down to about 8 fluid ounces. This was when I had been trying to root the cactus for about three weeks. I drank it, and hung out at a buddy's house, I had two close friends there as sitters. I threw up about an hour and fifteen minutes in. Around the six hour mark, closed-eyed visuals were pretty intense, like watching a 4th of July celebration on my eyelids, however, there weren't any flowing geometrical shapes or really any open eyed visuals or audial hallucinations, and because of that, I found the experience to be slightly lackluster, as I didn't really get the connection I was looking for. This lackluster experience has only made me more interested in raising/consuming cacti. Now, it's been an additional three weeks, and they were just beginning to root. I've decided to use them today because they started to develop root rot and dry rot, and it isn't reversing. I have 14" to deal with, I'm going to attempt to reduce tea made from the whole 14" of T. Bridgesii into a shot. This time I have lime juice, and I plan on using it. These cacti have had a rough six weeks, and I'm hoping they're feeling pretty stressed out from work . I'm also going to remove every source of negativity and/or judgment, because I felt pretty uncomfortable around my friends the first time. There are also a few questions I have before I do this..:
Will these cuttings (2x seven inch) provide me with a better experience since they have been stressed further and are being prepped with lime juice?
Are there any other ways to enhance the trip?
Are there any tips or tricks to reducing nausea or to keep myself from vomiting?
If it isn't enough tea, how long could I keep it refrigerated? (Keep in mind that it may be a month or two before I can order more cacti.)
I'm going to be checking for answers throughout the day, as well as post my report in this thread late tonight or sometime tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

YES the stressing of cacti by keeping it in the dark and cold for at LEAST THREE MONTHS, I'm really stoned wait
Keeping bridgesii cuttings in a pitch black, cool place has GREATLY increased their potency in my experience. Also the trip takes a new character. It's so epic. Bridgesii is the best thing ever lol.

Oh, and if you haven't eaten raw cactus you're missing out IMMENSELY. It's a much more epic feel than tea. Equally as visual but much more MYSTICAL mind space, certainly the result of non mescaline substances destroyed by heat, thus the tea not having them.
The only way to get a bridgesii trip that has this really fucking epic "mystical" feeling to it is to make sure you suffocate them from light humidity and warmth for at least several weeks. Trust me, this makes the cactus feel far more "mystical".
Nausea? Pfffftttt. Carbonation..sugar..and you not only destroy raw cactus taste, but nausea as well.

Hmm, thanks for the reply, I might try to eat it raw if I can manage to get it down and keep it down. I have a bunch of star-shaped slices that have been setting out for 14-16 hours, so they're already semi-dry. I was thinking the same thing earlier about MAOI content. I would think you're right, and it would make a lot of sense.

The main problem I see is that potency varies quite a bit with cactus. Luckily, you are using bridgesii which seems to have far less potency problems, but it is still a variable. I have had varying mescaline voyages when using 12" of bridgesii, so I think it still is a problem.
When you do you get it right however, you will know! The euphoria from a proper dose of bridgesii cactus was absolutely amazing for me. The visuals were astonishing and real as well. Good luck in your mescaline quest, I hope it works out for you! Mescaline is great!
