Ultimate Cactus Trip(Coming soon!)

So my buddy I introduced to psychedelia does A LOT of cactus. He's done it dozens of times or more. This is guy who sent me the bridgesii that 4in raw (ate that puppy in raw chunks)had me tripping out. Well he called me a couple nights ago freaking out. I ended up having to talk him through his trip. First time this had happened and the only other time he ever freaked out was on one of the 4mg DOC tabs I gave him. Didn't say the species or exactly how much but he usually does between 1-1.5 feet at a time. He said it was WAY more potent than any of the other cacti we've done. Told me he's taking a break from tripping, so I asked if he has more of that cactus. He does and he's sending it to me. I better buckle the fuck up.

My roommate really loves the cactus too. 3 feet of bridgesii is as far down the rabbit hole i'll go. This crazy roommate of mine though will fast for 3-4 days no food just water then consume 5 feet of goddamn cactus. And he has only purged once on this heroic dose whereas I purge everytime no matter the amount of mescaline. Shrooms fuck him up though whereas I can have a grand Ole time shrooming with no nausea it's strange.

Do 16 inches. I've done plenty of cacti for yearrrssssss. I've only ever been surprised by 12 inches once. The rest were lackining so I always do 16 to start.

So I could just blend it in a smoothie, clamp my nose, and chug it down? I always wanted to try mescaline, but was put off by the boiling process. I have an iron stomach so maybe I could do it haha.

I peeled it, put it in a blender and did a very light boil and just ate a bug gulp of green mush. It was one of the grossest things I've ever tasted besides kava. Not for the faint of heart

It's not pleasant, but technically still works. The main advantage of boiling and straining is reducing the mass.

If you blend it it's going to foam like crazy, and it's not just your usual foam, it's all slimy, so be careful that stuff doesn't foam out of the blender.
I would recommend washing your cuttings first, then put them in the freezer, let them freeze, then thaw and make sure they're on something where you wont lose any of the melt water, throw all that in the blender with some water and blend, then empty into a large pot and cook for at least 3 hours minimum, but longer is better (6-12hours), oh yeah add some vinegar or lemon juice to the tea you're brewing, this will pull out more goodies, strain with a clean t-shirt or cheese cloth, but be careful if you don't remove the spines before blending because when you strain the pulp out the spines bits will poke through what you're using to strain with, take what you have strained put it back in your pot without pulp and reduce it to a more manageable amount of liquid, 6-12oz, but the more you cook, the thicker, slimier, and saltier it's going to get, I found 8oz to be good, coat your mouth with honey before each gulp, it really cuts the bitter/salty flavor.
Oh yeah, don't leave you concoction alone for long when boiling until the foam has cooked off the top, it has a tendency to foam a lot for the first 10-20 minutes of boiling, but that will end soon enough, and always keep an eye on your water levels, you might have to add water here and there throughout the tea making process.
I have had amazing results from 18in-24in bridgesii boiled 3 hours and strained, but yeah you generally want to boil longer than 3 hours though.
Save the pulp, freeze it, and throw it in your next batch of tea.
If you have a crockpot, throw the cactus in there after freezing for 12 hours with some water/vinegar or lemon, those work great and you can set and forget till it's done, still wise to keep checking the water levels though.
Good luck, and happy trails friends.

There was this mouth numbing cream called Orajel which kind of helps the taste if u kind of coat your mouth with it before chugging, cus cactus juice is just so bitter, the honey method seems smart.
I once tried boiling dried cactus and straight drinking it without a cheesecloth filter and I had an immediate gag reflex and was about to throw up. keep in mind I have a really strong stomach
The thing with boiling is that you can reduce how much you need to consume and also it goes down much more smoothly when its a liquid

No, orajel is benzocaine, which would be horrible to consume with cactus because you might be consuming more than you should. If you can get raw honey, that shit is thick as hell, and works the best to coat your mouth.

but you can swish it around in your mouth and get your mouth all numb and then spit it out and then chug the mescalin, then you don't consume the benzocaine and you have less taste sensitivity

It has been my experience, that whatever I use to consume tea with, I will smell it throughout my trip, so whenever I have used honey to coat my mouth, I can smell it throughout the trip, same with using orange juice as a chaser, could smell OJ throughout the trip.
Like when you eat mushrooms and smell that fungal odor throughout your trip, I know many people experience this, anyway I wouldn't want to have any association with benzocaine during a trip, just seems like adding shit to sugar imo.
Do what works for you though, no worries.

That's why I want to do it. It's an ordeal that I feel I need to experience.

Even through your nose you will still taste it. The best way to take it is to juice that shit. NOT blend. Juice. Put the pulp through the juicer 10+ times. Strain it through double cheese cloth. Then evaporate quickly to the miniscule amount of tar then get that shit an either put in capsules or roll into some sugar or flower an pop it like a few pills. So easy. No taste. Tiny amount to consume. The only way to fly. Fuck boiling shit for hours and hours an then still having to eat that nasty snot. No thanks.

In what way would it be bad to take benzocaine with cactus to help get it down? Sorry, I just don't know much about benzocaine and would like to learn. I was under the impression that it was a fairly safe compound in general considering its over the counter. Also you probably wouldn't have to use more than a recommended dose of benzocaine to numb your mouth for long enough to get the cactus down. If theres something I don't know about benzocaine that makes this unsafe though id like to know so I can be smarter!

Benzocaine is meant as a topical pain reliever. When it's used in the mouth it says not to eat or drink anything for an hour after application. Eating it or coating your mouth is a stupid idea. It will burn your throat plus it can actually cause what's called benzocaine induced Methemoglobinemia. It's not good for you.
There's no need to harm yourself to avoid the taste. Don't darwin award yourself. And don't eat benzocaine. Definitely don't take medical advice off here.

yeah, just to be on the safe side don't "swallow" any benzocaine. I don't really know what i'm talking about
