Рет қаралды 153,589
5 жыл бұрынFrom harvest to table, complete method for preparing San Pedro cactus with minimal nausea. If you are in the Vilcabamba, Ecuador area and would like to participate in a ceremony contact us. Please hit the like button and subscribe. Here is some valuable input from the comments : for getting off the skin I would put the piece of cactus into deep freezer and then put it into hot steam for a short time.

Update!!!!! Freezing and thawing the cactus three times will allow you to pull the skin off like butter dripping' off a hot biscuit! I didn't know about this at the time. I was taught in the jungle. We had no freezer.

Only freeze them for consumption. Do not freeze if u plan to replant them. It will kill it in hours. There is no going back after frozen. Also if u thaw them u must consume it. Do not refreeze. It will turn to mush and ull have to thrown them out. If there is a electricity blackout you're in for a wild night I guess 🤷♂️

Loving your explanation. I have two San Pedro, not sure of the pheno, but they’re still young. One is two years from maturity and my second I found a few weeks ago and is still a pup. When I made tea, all I felt was love and light. I even tried to induce fear and paranoia but was unable to. It’s the only psychedelic I’ve tried that doesn’t cause any fear and paranoia. But the taste. My god. Like fresh bile. Next time I want to reduce my extraction to capsules so I don’t have to taste that horrid bitterness.

Thank you. Ecuador is a few hundred dollar round trip. Less demand. Medicine is very affordable here compared to Peru as well. Unfortunately, most San Pedro in the US is PC Pachanoi, which contains no active alkaloids. If you find one, there are vids on KZfaq that will help you to distinguish whether it is an active strain. There is advice on using entheogens to quit smoking in my Psychedelics and Addiction vid.

I have boiled it down a 19inch San Pedro into about one glass full of dark green liquid but am unsure if I need to keep reboiling down or not to concentrate it more? Just a little worried about taking too much and blacking out. Can you give me any tips on how much I should boil it down or whether drinking this whole glass would be safe? Just need some guidance. Cheers for the awesome video mate.

Some shamans say early morning is the appropriate time to harvest, but in terms of alkaloid content, it will be more or the less the same at any time. do blend the green part, but you could also just cook it a little longer. Only add enough water to facilitate blending. You will not need to cook again, but you should run some water through the pulp twice. Aho!

@Illumignostic 5 жыл бұрын
Here's the thing...cactus has varied potency. Varieties, age, growing conditions, all factor in. At twelve inches per person as demonstrated in the video, regardless of thickness or variations in potency, you are likely to get some effect, without running the risk of overwhelming the inexperienced or hyper sensitive. Preparing more than one cup per person at this dosage (three is a good number) may be wise in order to avoid the risk of underwhelming participants. In my ceremonies I generally measure 2 ft per person, but no one ever drinks that much. I hope this is clear. cactus is measured hole at 12, rind removed and processed.

@roughpuppies1690 3 жыл бұрын
The green color just comes from chlorophyll, and although the green outer layer is more potent by weight, most of your mescaline content is contained in the white simply because it makes up most of the plant. You can find content analysis online that compare these strengths. Unless you have infinite cactus to take from, throwing out the white is really wasteful because you'll be throwing out half of your product. But if you do have endless access it would make sense to only consume the more potent part to reduce the overall plant you have to consume. But even pure mescaline causes people to throw up. It''s not just the cactus material that makes you so sick. Thank you for sharing your process though! Really jealous of places where this stuff just grows wild.
@Illumignostic 3 жыл бұрын
Mescaline extractions say otherwise. Also, when the entire plant is used, vomiting is too excessive for many people.And bear in mind that you are talking to someone that holds the purge in the highest regard My girlfriend, for example, could not hold down a single cup for more than a few minutes until we revamped our process. You are correct, though, that people in the US may not have the kind of access that I do. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jt-ah7Z8pqjGgac.html As evidence (if you take me at my word), I have a friend that landed a contract to do extractions for a legit company. He found that the white section produced only 15% as many alkaloids as the green layer when they were processed separately. I have considered the possibility that different species may not exhibit this tendency to concentrate alks in the green layer, although I find this improbable I do, however, plan to remake this vid at 100K, as I have learned a few things since the time that I made this one, and I certainly will mention that there is enough alkaloid in the pulp that you may want to keep it.

Hi, not sure how much water per foot of cactus u use? And do you drink it when it's that green sludge? And do u cook low heat? For how long? Thanks
@Illumignostic 3 жыл бұрын
Just enough water that it blends easily. I cook about three hours, rinse, and then taste the cactus. if its still bitter, rinse again. Strain cactus out and concentrate by boiling.

@@Illumignostic I am a scientist, and thus, think very logically. I want to release my hypothalamus, as I have done before (very successfully) a couple of times with Psilocybin. The hypothalamus region of the forebrain is below the thalamus which coordinates both the autonomic nervous system and the activity of the pituitary, controlling body temperature, thirst, hunger, and other homeostatic systems, and involved in sleep and emotional activity. This medicine, mescaline, is supposed to be similar to psilocybin in that it unlocks the hypothalamus, and is extremely beneficial for those with repressed emotions, or those who want to delve deeply into their primitive brain for healing. Purging, again my opinion, is purification or cleansing. Everyone needs to purge once in a while, I value it as well. A little purging is necessary in the process of taking this, or other similar types of medicine, I agree. Yet, the purging aspect is not what I am looking for and I would like to keep it to a minimum, hence my original question. Thank you for your ideas and opinions, I appreciate your help my friend.

@@spwan10 the best advice I can give is that you should boil it down to a few shots. It should be very dark and tasste horrendous. And be careful. The cactus can be very strong, and it is common for people to underestimate the time it takes to peak, provoking them to drink more before it has fully taken affect, leading to naked screaming blackouts. Wait two full hrs after taking one to two shots before taking a third.
