Unpleasant afternoon with San Pedro

Okay, so last night I had 2 San Pedro cuttings. Between the 2 it was probably about 16-18". After the prep. I had about 16 oz. of liquid and I threw out the pulp.
Today, I decided that I didn't want to have to drink that much so I took my cactus tea and boiled it down some more. What I ended up with was about 2 shots worth of the thickest San Pedro syrup you could imagine. At about 2:30pm I drank the first half of it. Right after that I took a melatonin tablet (I've heard that for some reason it synergizes well with mescaline). Then about ten minutes later I drank the rest of my syrup.
Well I now know why they say to space it out over 30 minutes or so when you're drinking this stuff. They say it avoids "shocking the system". Well it's not like I started having seizures or anything but my stomach couldn't have possibly felt worse after that second shot. I hadn't taken a shower yet so I felt kinda gross at this point and had to hop in. Before I even got in the shower I noticed that my body was all kinds of rashy. I felt pretty hot so I took a cooler shower than I normally would. After I got out and dried off I was unbelievably itchy.
I threw some clothes on and got into bed. The intense itchiness persisted, mostly my extremities. About a half hour went by and I had to make a run to the toilet. After the BM I felt a lot better but I still wasn't feeling much of anything in terms of positive effects. I must have passed out for a while because the next thing I knew it was like 5:30.
So I've been up and about since then, still not really feeling much of anything. If anything I just feel out of it from the melatonin kicking my ass and the SP not bringing me up. My pupils are a little dilated but I definitely would not say that I'm trippin'.
So what the hell happened? I had the cuttings for over a month probably in a box. Do they lose potency over time or did I just do too much to them? I got off good on one that I used right away.
In any case, I've hardly eaten anything today and it's now after 9pm so please excuse me I need some eats.

Well I guess it was like an allergic reaction of sorts that I had. Anyone ever have anything similar happen?

Could have been a cactus that was thin on the mescaline alkaloids and heavy on the others.
It could have been how you prepared it. You may not have taken enough to get the desired effects.
The nausea effects me pretty bad, but that seems to be the nature of an organic cactus journey. I use dramamine pills just so I can get it down. I still get sick, but usually have the most intense part of the experience after that. San Pedro is not always pleasent. It can be work to get where you want. It is a divine, sacred teacher when you finally get there.

I'll agree with you as far as being thin on the mescaline alkaloids and heavy on the rest. I don't think it's that I didn't take enough though. This was the most I've consumed to date if you're talking about the weight of what I started with and not the final product.
But yeah, my second time trying mescaline was an absolutely glowing experience. I had one 12" cutting and all I did was cut it, freeze it, thaw it, blend it up and chug the whole blender full. It took a little nerve but I managed. My stomach felt like it was gonna bust open for a while but it ended up being worth it. When I started to get good visuals and it really started kicking in I was able to truly appreciate it. There were aspects of it that I can say I even maybe enjoyed more than LSD or mushrooms.
I'm just glad that this time wasn't more serious than just getting rashes and itchiness. I'll never prepare it that exact way and take that amount in that little time again.

I'm not real sure of the chemical properties of mescaline, but maybe it deteriorated while you boiled it down to two shots worth. Since you had a great experience with a blenderfull, maybe try not cooking it down so much next time?

It seems to be pretty heat resistant. We usually blend the cactus, simmer it for two 30 minute intervals and strain the liquid out each time. That does work quite well.
We never tried drying and making powder out of it..yet. Something tells me there is no easy way to consume this food of the gods...

Yeah, I think you're right. I was gonna try making powder and encapsulating too but then I decided that it might not even be worth it. Who the hell wants to ingest like 40 or 50 pills? Not me.
