Last Saturday, my buddy and I split resin made from 150g of dried Trichocereus peruvianus chips. Wound up with 68g of resin

Male/64 & Male/44

He capped his and I parachuted mine (was a lot of powder) about 10:30am - Saturday morning.

Both of us pre-hydrated and fasted for 12 hours prior to ingestion. We did do some bong hits right after ingestion - I like my weed.

The dose was eaten and the waiting began. Seems like noticeable effects were felt after about 1.5 hours. It came on slowly though… it seemed SUPER slow. 3-4 hours in tripping was obvious, but once again, not all that pronounced… deep-ish, but not. Very mild visuals, softening, fuzziness of vision at this point, saturated colors.

To shorten a VERY long story with not a lot of depth… the peak came about 8-10 hours after ingestion. While everything was very pleasurable and social (it was a absolutely lovely day bonding with my bestie) the experience for me lacked the depth I was thinking might ensue with this dose (we needn't discuss the folly of expectation here ). It' almost like the good effects, calmness, more compassion for others, feelings of united-ness are the after-effects, with tryptamines I also feel these things sometimes during the trip as well.

About 11 hours after ingestion, hoping for an intensity ramp-up, we ate a couple grams of shrooms. This definitely worked, but for the most part it seemed like our receptors were just plum tuckered out. I will say that it seemed like the mesc toned down the trickster aspect of the shrooms - very comfy shroom feelings. This is DEFINITELY a combo I'll explore more.

Hunger was pretty crazy by 3am Sunday, so I cooked up some burgers. We just had a crazy lust for meat. Writing about it now, it doesn't sound that great, but holy mackerel, it tasted sooooooo good! We smoked ourselves to sleep with some cannabis about 4 am Sunday.

This was, by far, the longest trip I've ever had that didn't include re-dosing (of the orig substance). 18 hours! And I still felt effects 24+hours after ingestion! Being relatively new to cactus, I'm really enjoying experiencing and getting used to the differences from tryptamine experiences. Stomach issues were nonexistent. A little burping, but being careful with my gutty-wut really paid off.

Sunday I just felt spent. Like a hangover minus the headache and gurgly gut. Nice glow but tired and weak.

Overall, an excellent time, but not as intense as I had hoped. All good though, it has just motivated me to extract and eat a really visionary dose next time, probably with shrooms thrown in on top for extra power.

experiences like this lay the framework for trust

trust in the medicine to return you safely, and fear not

explore your dosing by upping the anti incrementally, i would avoid combinations during your dose exploration. to include cannabis, however you know yourself best so... advise given. i learned alot with just cactus, and had i had been smoking i wouldnt had sought stronger experiences because i could always smoke out on a mild experience. without the bud you seek that peak within the experience and dont rely on ganjauana to deliver the satisfaction. it can also backfire, by pre emptively inspiring fear of the experience to come. during visionary doses i like to wait till im atleast at my strongest before smoking so i dont 1 2 combo myself into unexpected overload




shrooms are tamed by the acceptance of cactus, so is dmt/changa. i trust with cacti

Thanks mew I always appreciate your advice. Your posts, as well as those a few other Nexians have really helped me as I've dived into cactus.

I've been ramping up for about 10 months now - about 6 or 7 times starting about 200mg... to this most recent time where I estimated the dose at 600-750mg. I feel pretty ready to go visionary next time. It seems like as my dose goes up, so does the length of effects. No the next time is probably a couple months away - when I can devote a solid 48 hours.

There are ineffable qualities about cactus that just dazzle my soul
