Saturday the 28th SWIM is looking to have 6-12in (depending on how the 6in initially affects him) at either home, which is a city-like neighborhood, or a small one roomed cabin in the woods(note that there will be people around, also at cabins). SWIM is looking for some ideas and views on which might be better by telling you a little about how he feels :

At home, obviously, we all feel more comfortable. SWIM would be better off taking closer to a foot and feel okay with going a bit further. But there arn't many woods/nature spots near this house (huge downfall).

At the cabin, SWIM would take it very slow and start off small. It could be awesome for him as seeing there is a hiking trail near by and a lake! Problems with this area is that SWIM can have the potential to be nervous on a substance like this alone, sorrounded(maybe not sorrounded but there will be others) by strangers.

Knowing this will be a all day thing, SWIM is curious to know which you guys think might be better for him seeing his perception on these two settings.

**NOTE** SWIM does *NOT* take these often and is always a level 0 tolerance when taking these. SWIM also is not as experienced with these as much as others.

Another thing to note is that SWIM doesn't partake in any relaxing substances, such as marijuana or valium so taking those in case of a freak out is not an option. SWIM likes to stay as natural as possible when it comes to injestion.

So if you have read all this and would like to leave some advice for Mister SWIM, he would deeply appreciate it as he is very excited to have another spiritual experience this Saturday. Thanks a ton if you reply!

I would do it at the cabin but you will have to make the call.

My tip is to wait till aug. 11 for the cacti SHE so that you can be joined by other lovely nexians also doing cactus!

It's just a hard decision, SWIM will go and check out the cabin to see how he feels today and make the choice.

The cabin it is! SWIM booked the more secluded one also! He has his own gate and trail leading up to the cabin! Now what should I bring?!

Firstly, take your dose at once, dont redose. Commit to your experience, do not be timid, it will respect you more IMO.

secondly, prepare your desired amount of cactus, i have a preparation technique that is chemically free and relatively simple, it takes about a day. it is as follows:

1. cut off the growing tip (2-3 inches worth) and the calloused base (where it was cut), set these aside

2. despine the cactus by cutting 45 degree slits under each areole, set these "prickly plugs" aside aswell

3. deskin the cactus by using your thumbnail/index fingernail and peeling gently from the bottom up, compost the skin

4. cut the flaccid cactus log in thirds (provided its a foot)

5. filet the outter 5mm of green chlorophllic flesh off of each rib, dehydrate these
*if you do not have a dehydrator use a box fan propped with the exhaust facing down, you can set the flesh filets on its intake and theyll dry in a day or two, be sure to turn them for quicker results, or you can put your filetes on a dish and leave them in the sun, this will dry about the same speed provided you have a decent sunny day or two. i highly recommend a dehydrator as it greatly simplifies even the next part of the procedure, and also dries your filets in less than 8 hours, sun or not

6. powder your dehydrated filets in a coffee grinder, put them in a container and wait for the last step

7. during your dehydration phase thinly dice up the remainders of the cores, tip, calloused bottom, and "prickly plugs"

8. freeze these solid (this lyses the cell walls and increases brewing yield)

10. simmer the frozen chunks in about 2 liters of water with a twist of lemon, for 2 hours

11. pour off your tea into a jug/ pot and make another 2 hour tea with another 2 liters/ foot with another twist of lemon

12. comine both teas, strain your cactus pulp through a cloth to capture the last few drops, compost cactus pulp

13. let the tea settle for about an hour in the fridge (room temperature is fine too)

14. pour off 80% of the tea away from the sludge on the bottom, decant the remainder with a turkey baster.

15. filter the decanted tea through a cloth, then a cotton filter.

16. carefully reduce the tea until its just barely covering the bottom of the pot.

17. pour this tea into a pie dish

18. either put the pie dish in your dehydrator *i removed a shelfs lattice to make room in mine* or set ontop of a crock pot set on low.

19. once your tea is evaporated, scrape up your taffy like resin and pour your powdered cactus filets onto the pie dish

20. mix into a homogenous mixture

21. pinch off a bit of the cactus mixture and roll it into a 1 cm diameter ball, repeat until your substrate is exhausted

22. on the day of your ingestion, drink a gallon of water and fast all day from the dinner the night before (min 12 hours) and take your cactus balls at sunset with 4 oz calorie free liquid per foot.

23. brush your teeth and bath, lay on your back and simulate a bedtime routine (laying on back reduces nausea)

24. at 1 hour youll feel it for sure, at 3 hours youll start to be amazed, at 5 hours youll experience the depths that dose has to offer, at 9 hours youll start coming down, at 14 hours youll be close to baseline. break your fast at sunrise with some fresh fruit, you may not sleep that second day and will feel a bit off, youll regain normalcy after sleeping that night.

enjoy!



p.s. i dont smoke marijuana or take valium either, youll have a fantastic time, dont be afraid of one foot.

Wow Mew, I can't thank you enough for writing that. That was an amazing guide. Now here's the question. Can I dose two days in a row? I have the cabin all weekend. So dose Saturday, and Sunday?

there is a tolerence that builds up each use, its not as significant as mushrooms but its noticeable enough. if you ate a foot the first day, to get equal effects youd need to eat around a foot and a half

your welcome for the info btw. that approach has been the result of over a hundred feet consumed.

Thanks again mew! *wave*

:3 most welcome!

I have found that if I consume my cactus TOO quickly, I can't keep it down long enough to absorb everything. Maybe I just have a sensitive tummy.

my goal is to finish a foot in 3-5 minutes that way its all down before any nausea comes on to discourage further ingestion

I don't know how you do it.

a half decade of practicing. the technique used is globs chased by minimal calorie free fluid.
infact i can easily do 1 foot in 30 seconds, but beyond 2 feet, i need a couple of minutes

a few days ago i was speaking with someone who acquired peyote from the NAC and was instructed to ingest it as a powder mixed with a bit of water into "large pills"; globs. its awesome that this technique has been developed by at least the NAC and myself, seems to be effective

That 24-point MEW plan is the way to go.
It can change your life, in a really good way
To do it in nature, with good friends, would be incredible.
