The cactus

Last time SWIM played with cactus nothing happened. 15 inches of San Pedro and no psychoactive effects SWIM said. So that was a while ago, months ago and and now SWIM is interested in trying it again. SWIM is really worried about not taking enough so he is thinking about consuming maybe 25 inches this time. I know this site is not for dosage advice so I am not asking for that I am just asking for some tips on making sure that it works this time. Should SWIM try a different cactus? Should SWIM combine cactus with another plant or substance to enhance the effects?

what prep method did you use? you have to understand that potency can vary greatly.

dried cactus flesh from peruvian torch is much more potent. 40 grams as opposed to 15 feet. its a lot easier to experiment with, but harder to cook. extract with everclear or do a full a/b mescaline extraction for more precise dosing.

my first time was a year ago. i bought a 17" cutting about as big around as my bicep muscle. I used the cooking reduction method and was greatly disappointed. nothing but a mild feeling of well being.
I tried again a week ago with a purchase of 4 (12") cuttings of pedro about as big around as my forearm. this time i took a cutting, peeled it, put it into the food processor, took the goop out and blended it to even finer goop, placed it in a cup and chugged.
it worked. My trip was a mild, but pleasant and slightly visual.
later that week i did it again. this time with 2 cuttings which equaled 24" total (same diameter). i used the same method but this time i strained the goop through a cheese cloth and squeezed it till there was just a small ball of what looked like green clay. I then drank just the juice. I tripped longer this time. had more visuals and laughed a bit more. but still pleasant and relaxing.
I am going to start the remaining cutting along with some peruvian torch yearlings. It does work. the doses really dont effect me that much differently when i take more. I dont think 24" would hurt you. just take your time drinking it. do half .... wait.... then if you want more... half again.

And you do want to double check your cactus species, if in doubt. Something should be felt from 15", even a thin stretch. Might not be a full trip, but if he didn't feel anything at all, then just make sure he has the right one.
Remember, the darkest green immediately underneath the waxy skin is the most potent.
