So I am currently dehydrating down some cacti tar. Until I am ready to actually use it, what is the best way to store it? It is in a pryex dish right now with a fan blowing on it. I would like to make the little balls like mew does, but can I make them ahead of time and store them somehow?

One other thing, I'm not sure when to stop dehydrating it. Right now I feel like it is a little bit to sticy, but is there a point where it gets to dry and you will not be able to shape them?


Yes, it will get too dry to roll and go rock hard if you leave it too long. You can always add hot water and it dissolves to try again.

If you dry it at a low temperature in the oven with the door open and a fan blowing into it, it will dry at a quick enough rate that you don't need to leave it so long that it dries out.

Even if you roll them into balls while it's too gloopey/sticky, you can roll them in baking soda and it will help soak up some of the moisture.
The trees spoke to me through the wind. The more I listened, the more they spoke.
 

Good quality Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) for an incredible price!

1. even the hardest of resins dehydrated at room temperature will become maleable in with heat, when your resin is ready and seems too hard to scrape/mold. put it on a double boiler and scoop it up before it gets too runny

2. dont use baking soda as a powder to make them less gooey, use plant matter (prefferably potent outter flesh thats powdered) ginger powder might be a good thing to use here aswell

3. anhydrous resin is not prone to culture bacteria, especially if its in a sealed container

4. you can pre roll the balls, which is desireable since the longer they sit the harder they become (make sure not to roll them bigger than 1 cm diameter lest you may not get them down easily/ slower absorption)


are you drying your resin with just a fan?

That makes sense about using a double boiler to reheat them and then shape them if needed.

I am using a fan for now because I was worried that an oven/dehydrator would make the resin dry out really fast and I wouldn't be able to shape them.

dehydrator is totally fine, it wont ruin your resin even if you leave it on it for another solid week

again if its too hard just heat it, dont rehydrate it, thats defeating the point of making resin

Well, I am at the 3 hour point right now after eating all the resin and I am getting sad. I feel like it isn't going to be what I hoped it would be.

Nice!! Very happy Just out of curiosity what king of cactus did you use?

Also aprox how many feet of it did you use to make your resin/how much did you eat?

It was bridge.....and I used 2 feet and I ate all of the resin.


It is really, really, really different than a shroom trip. The visuals are really strong. You know how they say "face melting" when people talk about doing psychedelics? Well, for the first time ever I actually experienced that. I was looking in the mirror and my face was morphing and melting big time...it was crazy.

I was awake for 30 hours straight....lol

Yeah, I could definitely handle 3 feet or more.....a really strange experience....I still can't believe how strong and how long the visuals last.....

yeah, I was....but to be honest, I thought it would be a lot stronger......I think I need 3 or 4 feet to really blow my mind.

i did 2 feet and it was great, then i did 3 feet and i was given access to the entheogenic fullness achuma has to offer, then i did 2 feet again and it was close to doing three feet (way stronger than the first time i did 2 feet)

perhaps its like breaking open the head/flood dose

yeah mew....I feel like 3 or more feet would be what I need


I really wish that I could drink it in it's tea form, because I don't know why, but I feel like it would hit me better and work better than eating the resin...however, there is no way I could ever get it down...I wish I could, but it's not possible....

I bow down and worship anyone that can actually drink a cacti tea...you are my hero...

During your process you may not have pulled all the alkaloids into resin for whatever reason, giving you a less potent product per foot. Since I eat the flesh and make resin from the cores I'm ensured to no matter what eat 70% of the alka just in the flesh
