So rather than just getting a different type of cactus. Some devious jerk. Went out of their way to breed out the mescaline content. They’re basically selling you a fake product. Now it sounds like I would have to go there with the test material. And then take a piece of the cactus. To test it on the spot. If they ask what I’m doing. I would tell them i’m checking how healthy the plant is. If no color change happens. I would tell them that their cactus is crap so they need to get rid of it, and get a new one.
 I’m so glad I read this. I had almost gone to a nursery to see if I could find one.

Sometimes nurseries do sell good ones though… it’s just luck of the draw a bit. And there’s no harm in having an inactive cactus.

Wish I could just grow it outside.
 I’m gonna breed these. Eventually I want to just plant these all over the place in Arizona. Bring them back to their natural environment. The powder is DE btw

Blessings family! Blessings all. A 120 ml dose gave way to mild oev, massive cev and deep, rich visions, enhanced the heavens out of the frequencies coming off my Beloved Laughter Psybient Playlist, and came with a very, very pleasant body load.
I think that you were spot on Golmo. 150ml to 200ml would have been sweet. Full disclosure; my peace pipe certainly hits different in the spirit world. And I did smoke approximately 3 bowls over the course of the ceremony, with the intent of potentiating the medicine.
Even at 120ml however, it was a breakthrough dose for me [being an old shaman].

In retrospect I would now estimate that 1 fl. oz. of tea is equivalent to roughly 107mg of medicine / or 108mg / 30ml. My estimation is now that the fresh, raw material used for the brew was likely around 1.24% medicine per gm of material. 170ml should be right about 615mg.
That sounds perfect. 🙏

I know that it’s possible to test for the existence of mescaline in cactus through the use of reagents. I’ve done it myself.
I had a San Pedro which I bought from a hardware store nursery that had next to zero mescaline and it never turned orange with marquis (scraped a bit of flesh and tested with a drop of marquis on a plate). I also had a San Pedro that had a good mescaline content which would turn bright orange when reacted with marquis. Also did this test with three other cacti and it seemed to work well.
I have no idea if this could give you any kind of indication as to the concentration though. Probably not…
I bet it’s possible that someone could develop a test similar to the psilocybin Qtest though.
Where can you get these tests? Ive got some bridgesii growing I would love to test.

Marquis reagents come in pill testing kits. You’ll get a bunch of other reagents too
