Love the info about long time boiling. Makes sense. In the 70s before much info was available we boiled it for 3-5 hours to reduce and had great earth loving , life changing experiences. We didn’t know about the core and skin but was still beautiful

[@11Kralle]

For an "insider" this was really entertaining. I never found it to be necessary to save time when brewing it, because the beginning of the process is part of the whole experience, but I do get those people, who are looking for a fast way to do this. In 1994 I bought a San Pedro with an instruction for its preparation. The next 20 years I brewed once a year a dose for me to consume and since Trichoceraeus Pachanoii grows like a weed, there are now about 50 cacti in and around my town. Over the years I've somewhat finessed "my" method* and erased certain unnecessary steps with the aim to reduce superfluous steps and to minimize the horrible taste**. I can only emphasize the use of a very good filtering appliance (I prefer a fine cloth), the use of lime- or citrus-juice with the finished product AND the mental acumen to consume it very slowly in 20min intervals - who wants to asphyxiate himself by gulping an overdose??? *30cm length, 5-6cm diameter, removal of the middle part, cooking the piece for three hours, scraping the gooey mass from the skin with a knife and cooking it another two hours, sieving it thoroughly, reducing the brew to 600ml, adding the citrus-juice to my liking and keeping the whole mess in a thermos-flask **when I brewed it the first time my product tasted like bitter mud, 20 years later it tasted like medicine

[@humanoid144]

I remember the first time I had T. pachanoi me and some friends did consume some of the skin, it was pretty brutal to get down even blended. Shit that was deep though, full on energetic pulsing waves coursing through the body, up to that point that was the most intense journey I'd be on. I ended up projectile vomiting pure green at around 6am. I've been growing these medicine cacti for 20 years now. Good times 👍🤙🌵

On the topic of heat, you're never really heating it beyond 212F/100C because there's water in the solution. I'm sure that if the water dries up then you'll find a way to overheat the alkaloids.

Nice. We have San Pedro retreats August and September

[@christopherleubner6633]

You could extract it from cactus. Requires some basic chemistry, but in short you process similar to described, then add more water and make basic. Then add something that pills the free base out like hexane. Separate, dry the hexane and use dry HCl gas to make a salt of pure mescaline. Can be purified even more by recrystalizing from dry isopropyl alcohol.❤

[@michaeljacques7336]

TLDR: you cant overheat things if you keep them wet, if your goods dry out while they are still on heat your screwed! Water boils and turns to steam at 212F. This may sound obvious, but the steam is carrying excess heat away. This stops the solution from ever going above the boiling point of the liquid (water in this case). So it doesn't matter if someone boils for an hour or 18 days, the temp is never going to get above the boiling point of the water. The thing to watch out for would be boiling the water out becomes then the temp can spike to what ever temp the heat source is, which will definitely destroy alkaloids. Thing about making mashed potatoes on the stove, if you are not stirring well you can burn the potatoes on the bottom of the pot. That happens because the potatoes on the bottom dry out and they can now get to hot. Same goes for cactuses, anything burnt to the bottom of the pot when you are done is wasted. be extra carful when you are concentrating your cactus juice, if you let it dry out while its still on the stove you definitely can destroy all of the Alkaloids.

[@augustusbetucius1572]

K Trout, who is a very knowledgeable and reliable source about all things cacti, stated that his research indicated most of the desired alkaloids are within the epidermal layer. His testing did not find a significant percentage within the pith or core.

[@Illumignostic]

The core is generally regarded as useless creo que si

[@stevenborgens4356]

you can also extract with grain ethanol.

And cacti

[@christopherleubner6633]

The cactus concentrates alkloids near the skin as it is a natural pesticide and tastes bitter to anomals. To pull simply despine, blend up with a durable blender. Add an acid till its slightly acidic. Freeze and thaw. Strain and boil down. If you want pure alkloids strain the juice. Cover the strained stuff with distilled water till its not bitter. Combine it all and make basic to PH of 14. Next add 100ml of nonpolar like hexane. Shake gently for 30 minutes. Do this dayly fot 3 to 5 days. Separate the basic part and the hexane. That has the alkloids in it. Take this and add about 1 gram per 100ml of dried epsom salt and shake. Let set for a day. Next make a HCl gas generator and bubble it through your hexane/alkloids. After a while it will look like its smowing in the bottle after this starts continue bubbling for 5 minutes then stop adding gas and let it rest tightly closed. The snowing stuff is mescaline hydrochloride. It can be purified even more by disolving in boiling water free alcohol tilk it just disolved, then covering and put in the freezer. It will give crystals that look a lot like sugar. If you cool slowly it makes larger needle llike crystals. ❤

Length of cactus (1-3ft) to remaining liquid = dosage...so consider if you brew a given length say 2 ft for discussion, brew it in a given volume of liquid then condense it to a given amount say 5 oz it's 5 oz/dose. so say you process 21 ft. and condense it to say 14 oz you divide 21 by 3 ( I always did 3 per dose) you have 7. 14 divided by 7 = 2 oz...still tho this vid takes some extra steps so his methos probably is more efficient in total extraction then what I discovered back in my days of trials..haven't done this in a long while so we're building on a foundation of knowledge. have a good flight! I'll add I used a juice extractor and used all liquid in the cactus. no water added. used the entire cactus too nothing wasted.
