best way to dry cactus?
    #18960904 - 10/10/13 06:52 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Raw cactus is way better than tea in my limited experience with tea, but I'm tired of downing hideously nasty slimy cactus. What's the best way to quickly dry out cactus till it's as dry as dry shrooms in your opinion?

Food dehydrator... as always.

I've taken dried cactus with orange juice blended and it was not cool lol I'm making tea and doing a cold extraction next.

I dearly hope a food dehydrator wouldn't make it lose any potency. Honestly tea is not as good as raw. Raw cactus actually gives a slightly different KIND of trip imho, definitely more mystical and beautiful

Food dehydrator works really well. Mescaline is much more temperature stable than psilocybin. Or you can go the traditional route and sun dry it. One guy I know who's been doing cactus for a LONG time fillets the green tissue from just under the skin and dries it for powder and then makes resin from the white less potent tissue.

After trying numerous preparations, I must say I'm a tea guy myself. You just gotta slow reduce it down to where it's just a couple shot's worth of it. It's not any worse than a couple shots of hard liquor, just different. I just find my stomach absorbs the tea the most smoothly even though it doesn't taste very good.

Any way to actually make tea so that it tastes like salt? my teas have tasted bitter but salty. If there was a way to guarantee a tea would taste like pure salt, like irishlions epic thread describes, that would be fucking priceless. I could make salty beef and ham stew complexed with massive doses of mescaline and serve it to my friends and family for Christmas dinner.

I've never tried making a brew salty. I've never really noticed that any of mine were.

Placebo effect would be my guess on the difference... But it's only a guess
Natives make tea... For ceremonies... Just sayn

Never had salty tea either... Bitter yes...

Dehydrator works fine... They do shrink up a lot in drying but no loss of potency that I can tell

I HOPE they shrink up a lot in that process! And idk, I'll have to try tea again. Thanks very sincerely Harry sir. would you recommend any particular model of dehydrator?

You can just dry it out on a screen with a fan blowing on it.  Cut it into very thin stars first.  The thinner the stars, the quicker it will dry.

As for making it salty, you need to add an acid to the tea while you are brewing it in order to convert it to a mescaline salt.  Lemon or lime juice works.  This will make Mescaline-citrate.  If you add a few drops of HCl, you will get Mescaline-Hcl.

I drank a salty brew last night made from a foot of bridgesii.  I used about a tablespoon of lime juice.  It was insane. :awesomenod:

Yes.  It was definitely more salty than bitter.  Although, it was still bitter.

ok the peeled cactus chunks are in the food dehydrator. Roughly how long will it take to dry out to completely dry? Harry? Lol
