Does this tek work?

I'd go with an alcohol extraction.

Just soak the cactus in 190 proof grain alcohol for a few days shaking the contents periodically.

Drain off the alcohol and soak again with fresh alcohol. Repeat this 2 or 3 times, saving the alcohol each time.

Evaporate the alcohol(away from any flame)and you end up with a tar-like substance that contains your alkaloids.

A teaspoon or so is a nice ride for me. I can't say what you may like.

It will taste nasty, but a glass of water will wash away the taste quickly.




Seems fairly simple... Anyone tried it?

I guess it *might* work, but I've always found this to be the easiest, best method out there:

190 proof everclear may be difficult to find , they dont sell it at all here in FL. The highest proof alcohol you can get here is 151 , and it may be the same in your state.

151 will work also, you're just going to have a bit more water left in the final product. Not really a problem.

I've done this method countless times with friends. It has not failed them or me yet. I'm preparing to use the same method very soon again.

I know pedro mescaline content varies all the time. Would this be a good way to see how much mesc is in a cacti? Is the concentrated solution the same does each time? Or is it like the cactus... varies? Basically what I'm asking is would a 6 inch low mesc cacti and a 6 inch high mesc cacti produce the same amount of tar? Or would the low mesc cacti produce less tar.

I would assume that there might be some difference but it wouldn't be huge.

As long as you aren't dosing mescaline hcl extracted using an A/B extraction Tek, you are never really going to know what your dosage is.

But you can estimate.

Depending on you starting material
* Lophophora williamsii - 300 mg / 27 g dried material
* Trichocerus peruvianus - 300 mg / 15 to 100 grams dried material (.3% - 2.0%)
* Trichocerus pachanoi - 300 mg / 15 to 100 grams grams dried material (.3% - 2.0%)

You can make an estimate of the range of dose that you are going to get.

Example
If you use 50 grams dried Peruvian Torch.....
At .3% - 2.0% mescaline content
weakest 50000mg * .003 = 150 mg of mescaline
Middle 50000mg * .0115= 575 mg of mescaline
strongest 50000mg * .02 = 1000 mg of mescaline

With this dosage guide you can see that you may get anywhere from a light to a heavy dose.

Oral Mescaline HCl Dosages
Threshold 100 mg
Light 100 - 200 mg
Common 200 - 300 mg
Strong 300 - 500 mg
Heavy 500 - 700 mg

I know that that is a fairly large variance but that's what we have to go by if we don't extract pure mescaline.

Whats up with Lophophora williamsii? There is no dried grams range. Is that more of a set amount of mesc? If so then why doesnt everyone use this for extractions?

NEVERMIND... Lophophora williamsii is peyote... duh

Can the tar be stored in capsules and taken that way?

If using 151 leaves alot of water, can it also be evaporated? Could I use a hairdryer or some other form of heat?

This tek works splendidly! It is simple and requires little to no technical skill. I have found 7 to 8 '00' capsules full of the resulting tar to make for an enjoyable experience...

My additions to the tek:

1. Use a French Press Coffee Maker to soak the cactus powder in. When the time comes to filter, disassmble the filter screen/press mechanism, remove the lid (to allow the press to go to the bottom of the container), place a coffee filter in line, and reassemble. This probably isn't necessary but it helps reduce sediment...

2. Use flour to make the tar manageable...it's a real pain in the arse to cram that stuff in capsules without it...

Bump!

can the tar be dry-ed out into a concentrated powder form instead of using flour?

Does anyone have a pictorial of someone preforming an alcohol extraction?

Great info, ekstaza!
I'll be doing the hcl extraction soon, but I'm really wanting to try mescaline, so I may just do the alcohol extraction first, before I get all my supplies.

Assuming the cactus I have is in the 'middle' range, you think an ounce of peruvian torch powder, extracted with alcohol would be a good first-time dose?  I guess if I want some more I could just redose during the trip :smile:

peace :mushroom2:
