Trip Report
I’ve been growing many varieties of trichocereus and lophophora for a few years now and finally decided it was time to take some for my first time. I took about a 16 inch cutting of one of my bridgesiis (first pic) and stored it in the dark for a few months, then dehydrated it, which yielded 39 grams dried. I powdered it and then used everclear to extract 4.7 grams of resin.
From what I’ve read, it seems 25-50 grams of dried cactus is a good first time dose, and the plan was to split this with a friend.
However, we both started with about 2 grams of this resin each and about 4 hours later we were both tripping profoundly hard for about the next 8 hours. We didn’t even finish the last gram. It was far, far more intense and introspective than either of us had expected, but we are both quite experienced with other psychedelics and had an incredible time. We were in Big Bend, and the picture I included of the stars are exactly how they looked as during the trip, which really took it to the next level. I started having visuals quite a bit after the peak, and they seemed to get more and more intense as the mental aspect of the trip came down.
One of the most interesting things about the whole experience to me is that I briefly fell asleep twice while peaking, which is completely impossible for me when I’m tripping that hard on LSD or mushrooms.
I can definitely see why mescaline gets the reputation of being a forgiving psychedelic, because I still felt very clear headed for this whole experience and was able to easily talk myself thru every stage of the trip, even as intense as it was.
Anyone else had a similar experience with an insanely potent bridgesii before?
