The best way to prepare San Pedro cactus

[@archamedesgadafi7181]

Its not tidley winks people, you either wanna trip or ya dont. Personally i think bad trips are good for you but i have never had one off san pedro. I try to answer comments when i can but im no youtuber and this video blew up more than i anticipated so apologies if my replies are slow. But thank you for watching i hope it has helped.

[@Vault01]

Good evening sir, thank you for this video. At 1:28 what do you mean by 40% gi wahs”? I tried to google gi wahs but I can’t find anything

Finally made some lol knew I had this video liked somewhere and would get round go following this method. 😁 Got exactly 2 cups worth. Never done mescaline before but am seasoned in mushies. Cheers

[@spadger9122]

I usually cut right down the prickle line . More wasteful I geuss . But quicker. Thanks for your informative çlip. I been staring at my regrowth for a coupla years after a big chop and freeze . So tempted to give it a whirl. Aaah, 🌵. Good times.

[@archamedesgadafi7181]

Nice one mate thank you for comment yea that would be a bit easier!

[@90MysteriumFascinans]

I just saw a video of people preparing Huachuma in Peru, and they did some things a little differently that they say help with the nausea. First, they only use the skin, not the white inner part of the cactus. They say the white part will cause nausea, and the mescaline is in the skin. They also cooked it with lemon to reduce the nausea. They cooked the slices for hours and then strained and set aside that water; cooked the slices for hours again, and then strained the water; then combined the water from both, and cooked it down until only half that total liquid remained. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3vHo56Jl9pmoMU

Sorry brother, for slow response. It really does vary. In my experience some some cactus are stronger than others. Maybe start with 1 cup, and after an hour or two gage it and have more if you want. Seems to me the darker green your juice, the more of a kick.

Hey bro am keen to sus one of these brews up someday... Would you compare having 2 cups to being equivalent to having like 60 gold top mushies or 16 azurescens? Just tryna get a rough idea lol... You still doing the microdosing on it? Care to give an update? As I've just recently started microdosing on the mushies (bout 6-7 gold tops each morning)

Man it really does vary brew to brew. Its not as intense as mushies. Two cups is usually a solid hit but not to crazy

[@yaseenlaher3614]

6 grams dry or fresh mushies? Coz if you’re doing dry, your tolerance is ungodly

[@codino15]

As beginner: I will use same procedure as in Video, but how much should I Drink to avoid a strong trip?

[@archamedesgadafi7181]

It can really vary.I have found some cactuses to be far stronger than others. But if you start with about one measuring cup, you should be okay. A rule I have heard is that 1 foot of cactus is one dose. But I think this is pretty loose as they vary in fitness and strength. One whole foot of most cactus would probably be a fairly strong dose.

[@th3word487]

So only the dark green meat?

[@AGATH0R]

Honestly u can use everything except the middle woody fibrous part, dont hassel the wax skin or the white meat or thorns, it will be strained, the naseua does not come from any of these

[@NiSiochainGanSaoirse]

yeah, but that's like saying you might as well sup potato wine if you enjoy beer. yes, thwyre both alcohol, but the difference in strength and effects are vast. The core is useable, but thousands of years of experience have taught us the best bits are the subdermal greenery.

[@AGATH0R]

@@NiSiochainGanSaoirse yeah but if the nasea comes from the center firbrous part and everything else gets strained why spend all the extra work peeling off every thorn or de skinning it (which can take forever) when it doesnt matter one bit, you can send 4 hours prepping but my way take 10 minutes and then your already brewing

so i cut mine all the way through. into star shapes. the waxy skin is still on. can i still do it your way ? chop the stars into small pieces and simmer them ? only issue is i have about 50-70 pieces lol

[@archamedesgadafi7181]

Floyd juza yeah I guess so. Maybe just blend and strain it really well at the end to make sure you get rid of the skin but still get all the dark green just beneath it. I’d be interested to know how you get on.

[@floydjuza9366]

awesome ! i’ll try that! or maybe i can remove the skin from each of the star pieces ? i’ll keep ya posted !

oh and since you blended them why not just blend them? what does simmering them do? sorry it’s my first san pedro and if i mess any step up whatsoever i am screwed because i got one at lowe’s and it’s the first i’ve ever seen one and could be the last for a very long time especially one 12 inches or more. i’m very curious to learn the process :) thanks for the video!

I think you could just blend it, I’m not sure it would be as strong though.

what size cacti do you need for a high dose trip?

Hi there. A general rule is a foot (300mm) per person but i find the strength varys between cacti.

@@archamedesgadafi7181 for a first time cactus voyeur, would 6 Inches of a premium cutting be enough to get the empathic hit? Ive got to be honest, it isn't the visual ls which appeal to me most about psychedelics. its that incredible feeling of love that they give us, as though God himself has wrapped his arms right around us and hugged us tightly... The same empath hit that MDMA gives... THATS what I look for in psychedelics, and I'm told San Pedro mescaline is the next best thing to a pure MDMA hit.

You blend it all together, strain out the solids and throw away and drink the liquid. You do need to boil for a while prob 3 hours minimum.

[@walterlaganga]

Hello. Thank you for the video. Can it be eaten raw? Just cut and eat an adequate quantity? I once tasted one little piece, i was scared to exaggerate without knowing a lot about it! Thanks!

[@archamedesgadafi7181]

Yeah you can eat it raw. Its the bright green beneath the skin that has the goodness in it. It will be pretty bitter and i would aim to eat a fair bit for an effect. It may make you feel a bit sick too but no pain no gain haha good luck!!

[@90MysteriumFascinans]

I’d suggest finding info on traditional huachuma preparation and how to properly consume it. There are traditional ways to go about this, based on probably 100s or 1000s of years of experience. Maybe we could perfect it with modern resources, but start with what is tried and true. There are ways to minimize nausea. And eating it raw may or may not be advisable, considering how (I believe) traditional wisdom says to only use the cactus skin, and that it should be thoroughly cooked (simmered) for hours, with lemon included in it.

[@abundantcat7448]

where can one find such cactus?

[@archamedesgadafi7181]

[@Nothing4687]

what's the reason for boiling? what would happen if i threw the raw cactus into a blender and drank it?

[@archamedesgadafi7181]

Good question man worth a try. I'm guessing boiling it breaks it down so the body can uptake the good shit better, but that's based on zero knowledge of such thing.

[@hydrolink512]

The skin of the cactus tend to expand inside your stomach, boiling it is just to extract all the alkaloids into a more digestable liquid. You can just drink the blended cactus but you will feel to sick and gonna throw up, before the mescaline get asimilated by your body.

[@rudymelo880]

What is "Gi Wahs"..? It's a liquid?

[@archamedesgadafi7181]

It’s just a bit of kiwi slang for “gear”. It’s a liquid but you can reduce it right down till there’s just a crust left in the pan. Then blitz it in a coffee grinder so it’s powder. That way it will keep in the cupboard for a long time. I don’t do it that way because it’s easy to mess up and burn it.

[@blondegaijin]

@@archamedesgadafi7181 Wow, thanks! Oh wow, uh...in California "gear" is slang for anabolic steroids. In NZ, what does "gear" mean..?

[@archamedesgadafi7181]

In this case it means cactus but can be applied to pretty much any kind of substance I guess haha im thinking Cali is likely a good place to find many varieties of gear 😂 Hey I should mention the ratio of water to cactus isn’t anything to fuss over. 60/40 was just a rough guideline. You may need to top it up with more water as it evaporates. Just so the solids don’t catch and burn on the bottom as it boils.

Do you know what a safe dose (by weight) would be if you were to weigh out the final liquid? Especially if the person taking the dose doesn't want to trip too hard following a bad acid trip last year? 😅

[@archamedesgadafi7181]

It’s pretty hard to say, in my experience some plants can be quite a lot stronger than others. And then the brew will vary too. If it reduces it will be stronger. Best bet is probably start with about a cup, give it an hour and see how you feel then have more of you are all good. It’s quite gentle compared to some other phsycodelics, in my opinion anyway.

1200-1600 grams of wet San Pedro 800-1000 grams of wet Bridgesii 900- 1100 grams of wet Peruvian torch Yeah San Pedro has some wicked cousins out there. Mescaline is a alkaloid to control pests, acts as a bittering agent. So basically you can control the concentration by how well maintained the cacti grows. Harsher conditions = more.

[@nemesis8626]

​@archamedesgadafi7181 I think it's your preperation why you believe it to be more gentle, firstly your dose looks relatively small, also 2 to 4 hours isn't long enough, should be more like 6 to 12. Some people even do longer than this, also when straining the cactus you need to really squeeze the juice and alkaloids out of the cactus.. San pedro can absolutely be an extremely psychodelic trip, if its prepares right, unfortunately alot of people do not, which isn't helped by the fact its notoriously hard to dose anyway due to the massive strength difference from cactus to cactus
