around Christmas i want to have a mescaline experience. i would do an extraction, but since i only have 1 chance at this i dont think an extraction is the way for me. this cactus snot tea sounds terrible, plus im likely to just end up throwing up... then i thought, im buying 60 grams of cacti chips to split evenly with 1 other person, so could i just powder the cacti chips and eat it down? like eat the powder by the spoon and wash it down a cup of milk or something?

also, im looking for some really comfortable setup for it... since its in the farmlands in the uk, in the winter im guessing its gonna be raining... but if not, would being outdoors better? or being all cozy in a room?

I have never eaten it straight, but I think one issue with that is the body's ability to digest the cactus. It can be very hard. I can't imagine powdered cactus would taste much better than tea. I pushed through the snot tea a few times with decent success. But the flavor...... oh god the awful flavor...... The last time I did the tea, I hit a very well defined point where I no longer could get any more in me. It was excruciating, but turned out to be a very good trip.

The latest go involved dehydrating the tea down to a resin goo, and gel capping it. It was a very intense, mind melting, hyperspace traveling experience. One of the most intense trips of my life, but keep in mind I still have not done a full on aya trip.

I ended up with a lot of caps to swallow, and it took a good bit of work to dehydrate all the tea. But it was well worth it. That cactus is certainly a divine thing.

If you do gelcap the sticky resin like I did, it works really well to roll the resin in flour into long wires or rods or whatever you want to call them. If you roll them to a similar diameter of the cap they will slide right in. If you strain out as much plant matter before hand, you will end up with less caps (something I didn't do). One big plus, if you do end up with lots of caps, you will hydrate yourself before hand. You will want to hydrate yourself anyways, for sure.

Most importantly:
This cactus absolutely loves weed. It is the definition of synergy. If you feel like you're almost where you want to be, but not quite, do a couple tokes. Trust me, you will not regret it.

I've never thrown up from cacti.
Practice dieting at least two days before. Don't eat anything 4 hours before drinking the brew.
It's important to stay seated during the period immediately after you drink your dose.

Your stomach will be incredibly sensitive, and movement can often aggravate the nausea.

I usually sit still for 30-45 minutes. It's been as long as an hour though.
I just wait for the waves of discomfort to pass, till it's smooth sailing.

I quite enjoy cactus brew.
I think the other alkaloids in cacti have a positive reflection on the experience.
It's nice to get the full perspective that cacti have to offer.

try just chucking the desired amount of cactus powder into a bit of water and then down it.. it'll be over before you know it and is definitely more pleasant than the snot route

and obviosuly outdoors would be preferable with good weather, though if you setup your room nice and vibing it'll still be a good setting for it. I like fairly dim light... candle light is great

good luck matie!

I like being in the outdoors and enjoying nature. No need to worry about the weather just prepare properly for it. Find yourself a special place and pitch your tent. The sound of the surf pounding the beach, the wind blowing through the trees or the sound of raindrops splashing off your tent with a campfire crackling have the makings of a very special time.
