The one with the purple flower glued on it isn't a trichocereus, but the other one is a grandiflorus. They aren't active, but they can make nice flowers in almost any climate and are a popular grafting stock.

Thank you! I have been reading that they make beautiful flowers. Now I'm looking forward to seeing what color they will be.

On the topic of grafting, I have some Pereskiopsis Spathulata that I'd like to use for grafting some of my Bridgesii seedlings. The plan is to sharpen the stock to a point, and carve into the seedling, then gently tape it in place. Do you think it's ok to get that started now right before dormancy, or would it be better to wait till the Spring?

Edit: Ok I did some googling and looks like it'd be best to wait till next year to start grafting.

Here is an interesting article from the journal Nature.  It discusses the current status of mescaline in psychedelic research.  According to this article there is some recognition in the psychedelic research / investment world that mescaline has unique characteristics that could make it an an excellent choice for psychedelic therapy.  Some companies are moving forward with studying mescaline's medical potential.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-02873-8

I don't know what to think anymore about all of this "Psychedelic Renaissance".  At first it was so refreshing to see the broader scientific community soften its stance on these compounds.  But as the movement to develop actual treatments has progressed I've grown more and more concerned that this is becoming a big rush to concentrate control and profit into the hands of a few well positioned companies.  In addition, it seems that many people want to make a career out of psychedelics.  But its all predicated on making the psychedelic experience expensive and highly controlled by gatekeepers.  All of this is concerning to me.  In the grand scheme of things, I think the Decriminalize Nature folks probably have it right.  Just take all the penalties away from growing and possessing these plants, and leave people alone.  This big push to patent and monetize the chemicals in these plants and fungi... it all feels very unpsychedelic.  Ultimately, the magic of these substances is that they allow You to come face to face with You (and Nature and the Universe) in ways that would otherwise be impossible.  They are a human birthright.  It shouldn't take a prescription or anyone's approval to access a birthright.  And it shouldn't be highly monetized.

Thank you for sharing Grey Fox. I can relate to your feelings about the psychedelic renaissance.
The more days go by, the more I feel it's probably better if psychedelic use remains a phenomenon for individuals in the fringes of society. Whoever is supposed to use these tools or keys to other worlds or however you want to call it, will feel the call and I am not sure if a prescription by a doctor will be able to replace this call.
This is just how I feel, probably I overlook an important aspect right now.

Luckily we can all grow/extract these substances ourselves, with just a little skill and knowledge. I don't see how they could regulate that efficiently.

Yes. In 100% agreement with you here. These companies are also seeking to remove the entheogenic aspects by slightly modifying the alkaloids so that they can prescribe them as Schedule 4 without 'the risk of patients experiencing visions..."
They are also genetically modifying yeast, black molds, and e-coli in order to synthesize isolated alkaloids for prescription application. They have no intention of actually growing any plants at all.

Its hard to imagine that a modified form of mescaline or any other psychedelic could bring about the same amount of insight and change without the actual trip.  Talking to a therapist can't replace that.

Even though the world has become very technologically advanced, nevertheless in some ways we are still living in a type of Dark Age.  Governments don't even want to give people autonomy over their own bodies.  Just exercising natural curiosity toward certain plants can get you locked in a cage.  The majority of the world's population still believes in the God of Abraham.  That God hates all other forms of spirituality.

We have to be good stewards of the plants for future generations.  They are our connection to the past, and also the bridge forward to a better future.  My hope is that the world becomes a place where people are more free.  A place where it is ok to explore new ideas and your own mind.  A place where there is much less fear and hatred and control.  I truly believe that psychedelic plants and fungi will have an important role to play in bringing about those changes.  I think its the actual plants and mushrooms that will have the most important role to play.  That's what will really open people's eyes, and help lead them back to having more respect for Earth and Nature.  Its the actual plants growing in people's homes that will have the greatest impact.  All this talk of patents and billing insurance... I don't see much value there.

I'm not sure why the establishment would want regular people taking these drugs. It seems like the old drug cliches stand to reason that they wouldn't want people to wake up to the truth that "they" are controlling you.

What happened to the old idea that the hippies will "turn on, tune in, and drop out"

Do they want us to wake up and stop being sheep now?

I can only imagine the horrors that will come from the elite having control over these drugs.

I'd rather them snuff their existence out than wield its power in their greedy corporate hands.

It is interesting that they want to use psychedelics for their benefits of say anti-depression but remove the experience.
It brings up a sort of chicken or egg question of what triggers the benefits. It’s hard to imagine the afterglow without the trip.

Just wanted to say happy Halloween to everyone here

And thank you grey fox your a wealth of information. A lot of my questions I've had about these cactuses I've found your replies on different forums.

I'm in it for the long haul it's going to be a few years before my cactuses are old enough to sample. I'd rather start with seedlings then pay what the market is trying to charge right now. Or maybe Im looking in the wrong spot. I still have about a couple months before the market place opens up to me.

Did some final recon for my second cactus go location today.
Full moon is coming up fast…today being first quarter, with 7 days left to go, I’ve started to prepare my tea for the lunar eclipse on the 8th.

No skin or areole removal this time, just chopped and in the freezer for a cycle or two, probably three haha.
Blending and decanting with Golmo’s no boil tek in a few days.
Hopefully the weather holds out for moon photography or it’s going for location B.
Starting a 5 day eating cleanse the day after tomorrow, so, all in either way.
I’m ready.

(The scale has a tare to compensate for the jar)

I wish you all the best with your next trip Soloist.  Do you remember how long the cutting was?  Bridgesii?  I'm interested to hear how this prep method works out for you.  I didn't realize that this full moon is a lunar eclipse.  Should be amazing!  Lots of energy will be in the air that night: lunar eclipse and election results.  Don't think about the elections lol.  Be safe.

It is indeed a bridgesii, the cut on the left.
Been aging the last 4 months





Yeah I’m stoked, moon is going to set in my location during totality. Got me a nice secluded spot picked out with horizon views. Logistics in place haha.
If the weather doesn’t work out then just gonna go get lost in the woods with my macro lens and see what happens.



No election thoughts for me haha, they’re all crooks IMO.

cool! i am a little not confident when ppl try my method because i am afraid it wont work for some reason. it worked perfect for me twice but still.

because of that, i say to keep the cactus matter in case the juice didnt work. but again, there is no reason it shouldnt work. just make sure to blend it well and to soak it for a day and to squeeze the cactus well!

edit:you say you freeze and unfreeze more than once. keep all the liquid that comes out while thawing
