Wrong Trichocereus species ?
Psychoactive Trichocereus species smell, and taste bitterly.

Hi Springbranch,
Welcome to the world of cactus. First, let me give you a little info on my experience level on cactus, so that you have that for a reference. I've been involved with the cactus for almost a year now. Due to severe depression, having to deal with childhood abuse and a host of other life issues, I have chosen alternative paths to my healing, which is why I am here. On that path I have discovered that this cactus has done a world of healing for me, beyond what any medical professional has ever done for me.

The frequency of use is/was once a week for the first couple of months and then once every 2 to 3 weeks. My very first experience was "disappointing" at the time, as I only felt discomfort and did not have the glowing experiences others talked about such as visuals and mystical experiences.

Here's my opinion based on my own experience on why you may not have felt or gotten results that you hoped for:
1. Cactus never gives you want you expect - it gives you what you need at that time. It is a real being with intelligence much higher than you may realize.

2. Cactus is much like any other person - the more time you put into preparing your brew, the more thought and love you focus on it as you are preparing, the more it will unfold during the journey/trip.

3. Proper preparation is very time consuming - every time I have rushed and not taken my time it has always been as you described. It is only after I began to slow simmer for at least a total of 15 to 17 hours (I freeze the material for 2 days, then blender it so it is in little pieces, then simmer for 6 to 10 hours the first day while speaking affirmations to it, the next day is 3 to 4 hours of simmering on very low with 3 to 4 washes) , along with my personal chants/affirmations and a direct focus of love with the brew that I started to experience the magic.



It took me about 5 tries to finally get it right. Be patient. If you're in it to seek wisdom and healing from the plant, let me say it's worth it. If you're just looking for giggles and kicks, then I would advise you to seek another option. Kind regards

hello dear cactus friend i just wanna say that yopu are right i cooked the first foot of the san pedro and i rushed it.....my second foot i rushed a little but also took time to add water and watch over it and the effects where verry mild but like you said the more time...the better next time i will try and spend a day just cooking it and adding water when needed to be...and with all respect yes i am seeking wisdom i hope my next expirience will be a good one...thank you verry much for your help

 

[MrCactus]

A foot of San Pedro must be enough !
Did your San Pedro tastes bitterly ?
I already experienced effects from a chewed SP part of 4 x 4 x 3 cm.

 

[springbranch]

cant i just eat the san pedro?

 

[springbranch]

and yes my san pedro did taste a little bitter it was hard to swallor the juice at first but then got better after the first sip

 

[MrCactus]

cant i just eat the san pedro?

Sure, when you digest the Peyote 95 % of the Mescaline is absorbed in your liver.
When you chew the San Pedro the Mescaline will be absorbed in tissue of your mouth.
Much more Mescaline will reach your brains.

 

[springbranch]

dang i never thought mescaline was that powerful lol and thank you so verry much for your help i will go buy a foot of san pedro and i will let you know how it went.this time i will eat it raw i dont care about the taste i will have like a soda or something to wash the taste though. thank you verry much again

 

[MrCactus]

You have to chew a long time, and do not swallow the San Pedro.

A foot or more (40 cm) San Pedro of 3 inch (7 - 8 cm) thick must be enough when you digest it.
When you chew it you need less San Pedro.

 

[springbranch]

so im not able to swallow it? or should i chew a very long time and then swallow?

 

[MrCactus]

Yes, try to swallow as few San Pedro as possible.
It is difficult to chew !

 

[springbranch]

okay THANK YOU!!!!!! . i will try it on saturday or sunday and i will tell you how your method went. thank you again. peace

 

[MrCactus]

I am afraid that with chewing you will get too few Mescaline in your body for a real trip.
Because it is very hard work to chew for two hours !
So you'll need to drink San Pedro soup as well.

 

[springbranch]

so should i make soup with half the foot of san pedro and the other half i chew? or do i need more?

 

[springbranch]

today i bought one foot and a half of san pedro...i will be eating half of it and i will boil the 1 foot of the cactus...i will lwet you know how it goes

 

[springbranch]

yesterday i boutgh about 20 inches of san pedro i cooked 1 foot and a half and chewed the rest and yes i felt it lol it was verry good almost felt like mushrooms but different in a way also....thank you for your guidence sir
