mescaline question -> grafting

going to post in chemistry also
but, if the peyote or san pedro is for the purpose of extracting mescaline is it better to graft or not graft. my understanding is grafting makes your cacti bigger but non grafted ones have a higher alkaloid content.
basically to graft or not to graft for the purpose of mescaline extraction. that is the question.

San Pedro grows quickly on its own roots so you don't graft San Pedro on to rootstocks. San Pedro is however a common rootstock itself to graft other cacti on top of.
I would say grafting is the way to go for that. I think the whole "grafted are less potent" thing must be a bit overblown.

do you have any experience with grafted vs non grafted cacti?

Not in consuming them. But I have heard from people with experience that grafted cacti are closer in potency to own-root cacti than most people think. That is to say: age is a factor, but size is a bigger factor. This is what I have heard.

was thinking pereskiopsis as the grafting cacti
maybe ill do a bunch of each I can only obtain so many pereskiopsis cuttings.. hmm time will tell I suppose?

Not exactly conclusive, but there's some reasonable speculation, and it's interesting to read.

all I want to know is... why would a grafted cacti not produce alks as fast if everything else about it is growing faster??? when I graft Peruvianus seedlings they start producing adult spines right away. same with the rest of it. its a natural thing for it to produce alks just as it is natural for the tip to grow therefore I think both processes are sped up. in the wild Peyote flower after reaching adulthood and thats what 10 years?? and grafted onto a Pereskiopsis as a seedling it takes what a year??? time ta send this one in to Mythbusters

a year would be a reasonable guess... ive had a few grafts that popped their first flower in under 6 months though

It is my understanding that the scion takes on the alk content of the rootstock,
so what you want to do is graft, then once its grown to a nice big size you un-graft and let it root on its own.
After sometime, maybe 6 months to a year alk content should be back to normal.

When we say it´s mature, we mean it´s sexually mature, it´s able to reproduce itself, it´s not like a fruit that gets ripe for consumption.

yeah i dont think there is any evidence to support alkaloid transfer between the scion and stock or vice versa... i mean ive never seen anything written on the subject, although i should think its something that hasnt really been investigated in detail... so perhaps my original statement was going a step too far 
i think someone should test the alkaloids of a 100% non mescaline containing stock that has had l. williamsii grafted to it for some time and see if any mesc can be detected in the stock...
if anyone knows of such a study please shout cos that would definately be something worth clearing up

Why in the world would anybody try to extract Lophophora...
You don't extract peyote, you eat peyote.
Extract Trichocereus species if you want to extract something.
Or you could just eat the damn things.
If it is good enough for the shamans of Mexico and the Andes, it should be good enough for you.

Haha yeah I'm surprised no one called him on that. Growing lophophora for extraction of mescaline is dumb as hell.

Just grow Lophophora to eat and if you must do extractions then grow Trichocereus species (san pedro).
Trichocereus are just fine to eat too ,tho.

it does seem that this would be the best way to get a relatively large amount of mescaline in a short amount of time with minimal effort, so why not extract? that sort of prolific growth and at least 3x more mescaline per weight than trichocereus's... whats wrong with growing peyote to extract like this
mind you ill stick to building a massive garden of bridgesiis  peyotes illegal where i live and id rather not be in violation of the law if at all possible

Lophs grow slowly and even when full grown are still small cacti. Trichos grow much much faster and given rootspace and acceptable growing conditions can grow to be huge cactus trees. Grafted lophs can never touch the production of mass that an established trich can put on.
I think lophs are one of the coolest plants we have on this planet but for if you're talking extractions, it's no contest because of the huge difference in mass. Growing peyote for mescaline extraction seems like an awful waste to me. But do what you want.

sounds logical..
even if peyote had 5x the mescaline per weight I could see a trich getting even larger than 5x the size
