Now for another question. To use the core or not? I've again found conflicting information, some say it enhances the trip while others say it contains little actives and just makes the nausea worse. Can people tell me their personal experience?
I always use the core, why throw away perfectly good alkaloids just because they're not as concentrated?

Who knows, I think some people seem to think it's not worth it and adds to the nausea. However I've read the experience is better with it, probably due to other alkaloids so I won't be throwing it myself but I'd like to hear if anyone has actually experimented.

I've always left the core in so I can't compare but all of my experiences have been nothing short of spectacular so I'll continue to use the core.

Hey guys, I've got my first experience with this coming up this weekend. We've got some tea that's being prepared currently. A few friends and I are going camping. Anyone else do this while camping? We've all done acid and shrooms at least a handful of times. Seems like it should be fun?
Don't mean to threadjack.

That sounds perfect, I wish I had more friends who were open to it.

I use between 12-16 Amaerican Inches Per person, with around a 5 inch diameter ribs.
I have used a San Pedro from a potent genetic line.
As for decoring, i always do and have great trips. Cant say if keeping the core is better since ive never prepped it with the core

I've just bought a slow cooker as I thought it was the safest way of not accidentally destroying the alkaloids. When I'm cooking the Cactus, should I just cover it with enough water or? (I'm using chopped, not liquidized cactus for my first attempt!).

Currently stressing the bridgesii and sp cutting in a cool dark cupboard as it's 3 weeks before I'm able to consume the tea so I might as well try improve potency.
I'm going to prepare it the following way,
Despine and skin the cactus, chop into smallish chunks, including the core. Freeze and defrost twice. Cook for 12 hours on low in the slow cooker with plenty of water and 4 oz of lemon or lime juice. Strain with cheesecloth and repeat the cook with fresh water and lemon. Combine the resulting liquid and use my dehydrator to reduce it to a couple of mugs worth of cactus juice.
Sound okay?

sounds good to me.
Make sure the dehydrator is on low. I usually just simmer on low to reduce the tea, but dehydrator should work too

Just a quick question. I think I'm leaning toward just giving my friend San San Pedro rather than a mix with bridgesii as shes a bit sensitive and I've read a lot of trip reports that sounded uncomfortable. However I only have one 12 inch cutting which I doubt will be enoigh. However I've got some torch chunks coming in the post just could add some to the brew but I've no idea how much to add.
So how much dry torch chips should I add to the brew to hopefully get a good strong trip?

I just recently discovered, that 99% ISO alcohol does not extract any mescaline. I have eaten all that tar of 90g powder and NOTHING! Luckily I had some acid as plan B.
Previously I have extracted from the same batch of powder using 95% ethanol and had some vivid trips.
I have kept the remaining pulp and now thinking what to do with.

Plenty of trip reports out there that say iso works just fine. I think something went wrong somewhere but I doubt it was the isopropyl's fault.

All ISO reports I've read mention 91% ISO. Have you seen any with 99% ?

Cheers that's useful. Perhaps a little water in the mix is a good thing. I'm gonna use vodka myself with a dash of lime and extract it for days.

I've been also extracting for days. Then went 200 miles away to trip on mesc only to be disappointed. I had a nice blast on acid though instead.

Oh no that's such a disappointment. Where did you choose to trip by the way. I'm always looking for pretty locations.
