Making Cactus Tea

I bought two 12" trichocereus bridgesii cacti logs and plan to make tea with them. Does anyone have experience with these cuttings? I've taken shrooms and LSD plenty of times in ungodly intensity, so I'm not to concerned with what will happen, but It's my first time taking cactus/mescaline so are there any definitive differences between them? Anyone know roughly how potent a 12 inch log can be?

Most places you will find recommend a foot of cactus per person, though bridgesi is supposedly stronger. So i guess it's more or less upto you to decide how much to take. p.s. the tea can be really bitter and slimy so drink it gradually or you might puke before you get it all down

Planned on possibly getting my girlfriend to take it..shes never had a heavy "introspective" trip as you'd put it..trying to show her the true profoundness of psychedelics, not just a little 6 hour eyecandy show, so im aiming for a strong(but not overwhelming) experience.

Foot is good... Depends on how thick of course Depending on how you want to do it... Many way to ingest
I like... Freeze, throw into a pot with water and a teaspoon or lemon or like juice.. Cook for a few hours... Mash with potatoe masher every so often...
Strain through old clean t shirt (or cheese cloth)... Repeat cooking solids with new water two or three more times
Combine all liquids... Reduce ... Strain.... Drink... Gag
Some folks say remove spines or waxy coat... Some cut out the core... Some people use a blender...
Some slice and dehydrate... Powder and cook Some eat dehydrated chunks Some take the tea to tar, scrap and ingest (even put into capusules) Some.... Well, you get the point

Like others have stated, one foot of bridgesii gives a good trip, and bridgesii is consistently potent. Make sure that you do at least three pulls and then combine them and reduce to a reasonable amount to drink. Also, the lemon juice precipitates the mescaline out as a salt, mescaline citrate, and it gives the tea a salty taste. If you use enough citric acid, it will be very salty with no bitterness. Enjoy your travels!

It has a much different feel to it than shrooms or acid. Much more of a "clear headed" trip. Talk about crazy though! Best psychedelic experience I've ever had was a 3 1/2 foot birdgesii trip 
Enjoy and let us know how it went

Start off with a small dose and work your way up. I got totally jacked on 3"x 2" blended raw with water and couldn't sleep for 12 hours. It was the most intense (and the greatest... it was fucking amazing) speed high I've ever had, and I can't imagine taking any more to trip. I feel like I would OD... but I'm a cactus newb, so I don't really know what I'm talking about. I tried Bridgesii once... and will I never again. Too speed for meh.
Drying it out and parachuting the powder seems to be the easiest and most time efficient method. Who wants to stare at boiling pot of goo for 4 hours and subsequently slurp down the aforementioned nasty-nast?

Agreed...i may try it this way. Definitely more familiar with parachuting vs brewing lol..
Indians actually prefer the pestle and mortar method over the brewing method now i hear.
Is there a way that they smoke the cacti? I thought once upon a time they used a very long pipe to smoke..what i thought was peyote. But it seems mescaline isnt very smokeable.

You don't smoke cactus. Don't cut corners brewing, or you will get diminished returns. I find using distilled water makes for a nicer product. I also suggest taking 5 drops of lemon essential oil orally about 20 minutes before you drink. Also don't cut corners on reducing it down to a very small amount of liquid. You don't want to have to drink a bunch of volume. Get it down to a couple shots worth and it's much easier to deal with. Just make sure you reduce it slowly over low heat.
I wish you an amazing journey!

My cactus syrup was an absolutely gorgeous trip and then after adding raw cactus with Syrian rue was the worst experience ever.

What is syrian rue exactly and why did the raw cactus experience go bad?

Syrian rue is an MAOI inhibitor which makes you trip harder but also brings on a different trip. It also makes people nauseous.

I've known some folks who recommend against combining MAOI with mescaline.
