sounds like your just repeating what you read somewhere. prove to me that stress causes a higher alkaloid content. also mashing something up that is not digestable doesnt make it digestable. sorry to get on you entheodome but false info is no good for any of us. especially when something is in a grey area we dont need to cause it more problems then it already has. i would suggest you do some plant research and then come back. also just out of curiosity what makes you think stress produces alkaloids? if that was the case i would imagine the vendors would be selling the most damaged sun burned, water deprived, bruised, possibly nutrient burned almost dead cacti. i bet those would be the shit right? oh yeah you mentioned pests i presume you mean insect damage. the only way mescaline would hurt a insect is by dehydrating it after you convert it to a salt. if you were correct then why should any of us worry about insect damage if it such a insecticide. you are talking myths like those guys who thought putting nails in cannabis trees would make the herb stronger. possibly uv rays may make cacti stronger but that sure doesnt relate to insects. also if the right nutrients arent present it cant manufacture what you want anyway.
