Bridgesii prep questions
    #19060686 - 10/30/13 10:10 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

1. Is there an easy way to peel the outer skin? its getting pretty tedious doing it by hand.

2.How do i remove the spine nodules (where the spine was) without removing the good gooey green stuff?

If you cut the cactus into long strips by cutting along the valleys to the core, then split the cactus, you can then take these strips and freeze and thaw them a couple times- make sure to keep it in a container though, because many good juices will be released in this process. After having froze and thawed a couple times, the skin peels off much more easily. Scarred areas of skin are WAY more of a pain to skin than smooth skin. Sometimes you just gotta cut some of the scar tissue out with a sharp paring knife to get the skin off, or you can just leave bits of skin depending what you are doing with it after.

The spines- I usually try to grab and twist them with a pair of needlenose plyers. It takes a little practice and finesse, but after a while you'll be getting most of them. The ones that you are unsuccesful to twist off, you can just carefully cut them out with a paring knife. You're always gonna lose a bit of flesh along with the spines, but it's just the cost of doing business.

If you're at all experienced with psychedelics, I'd be really surprised if a foot was too bad for you. It's a very kind substance for the vast majority of people. Especially in moderate doses.

One thing I would say though since it's your first time, is that my first time, I felt out of it for a couple days afterwards. Not bad or anything, actually pretty good. It was probably fortunate though that I had planned for having the next couple days off. I don't mean to scare you- it's not like you'll be tripping that long or anything, but your brain may not be very sharp, and your energy a bit outta whack.

Anything about cactus that comes out of this guys mouth or keyboard is to be trusted imo. Man knows his cactus!

Well I know the flesh is good in the freezer but Ive only frozen after skinning and cubing the cactus. Id wait for chris to throw a second opinion in.

I do at least one freeze/thaw cycle when preparing cactus to brew anyway. The freezer will do no harm.

You could slice it and dry the whole cactus.  The white flesh has less mescaline, but more volume than the green flesh.  They dry rather quick when the are sliced thin.  Then you can grind it in a coffee grinder. This produces a fine powder that can be stored in a jar, in a dark, dry place. When you want, and are ready, make tea with the powder. Three pulls, two hours each, half a lime squeezed in each pull, combined then reduced. No freezing involved at all. :peace:
