Hello everyone,
It's perhaps not the correct forum for cactus identification?
But:
About a year ago I was given a little bundle of dried cactus by a friend, he told me it is a mescaline cactus and didn't know any more.
Here it is:


Since joining this forum I have dug it out of the cupboard to try and get some more information.
I have never and will never indulge in anything without a lot of research and background, but before I can do that I need to know what it is.
Any ideas anyone? Does anyone even know what one would do with it?
Many thanks.

it does appear to be cactus skin

take a small piece and give it a little chew, if its bitter then you can be fairly confident you got the goods.

It's dried cactus flesh, probably peruvian torch. You can eat it or brew it. 50-100 grams is a dose.

Ah, well I've only got about 6grams.
50-100g is quite a snack! HaHa.

I guess I'll hang on to it or maybe use it ritually as an offering in ceremony to tantalise the spirits...
Thanks though.

Brew it and consume with some LSD or something. 6 grams isn't much at all, but it will provide synergistic effects.

Local mushrooms are more my thing... I might do that. Alternativley can one smoke cactus?

I like your avatar, in India earlier this year I came across some ancient carvings in temples depicting "celtic knot" style designs rather similar to your pic. They were lovely!

It's a durga yantra.

Brew a tea and consume it with mushrooms.

Don't smoke cactus flesh, man..

HaHa.

I have spent some time drawing Metatrons Cube and the Sri Yantra before. They're wonderful tools. I've got a whole selection of silk embroidered T-shirts with Yantras on but I've not seen that one before, it's scrumptious!
