r/mescaline

Reason for my poor peyote yields was not grafting.

So I didn’t have a control on this experiment but a year or two back I found out that GA3 causes near zero mescaline yields on cacti and have had this result twice and already knew to avoid it for alkaloid increasing.

Originally tested a high GA3 foliar to try and induce flowering to no success. I didn’t use the GA3 so didn’t think much about it and with the near zero yield on the peyote grafts I associated it to them being grafted which was a mistake on my end part.

I’ve been experimenting a different PGH in the cytokinin class to induce flowering and didn’t consider the effects on alkaloid content. Last week I did an extraction on my strongest bridgesii at 3% hcl content and to test an alcohol only extraction path and had zero precipitations so I decided to add another precipitating agent and only had 2 crystals form which proved it was indeed poor yield and not the technique that failed.

I started trying to figure out what happened and researched more deeply the PGH and saw that this and pretty much most PGH auxins and cytokinins increase GA3 internally. And this is almost certainly the reason I had near zero yield in my lophophora extraction since I apply my experiments to my entire collection to help collect more data quickly.

GA3 kills yield in higher doses in cacti. Maybe lower doses won’t matter and other plants may have different effects but with mescaline it makes it near zero.

Does this data point refer to TBM crested (2nd pic) or TBM clone C?

Also when its spelled out TBMc, all one word, does that generally mean crested or clone C?

Then vice versa what would TBM-c (or TBM c?) with a dash or a space inbetween the "tbm" and "c" mean?

Thanks guys! Sorry if its a noob question I tried looking things up but some people seem to spell them out differently?

I really enjoyed this process

There's something special about connecting with the plant while you go through the steps and seeing it provide that miracle. I'm in love.

Does anyone have any experience with Chavin Herbalist’s AD series?

I’m curious about their potency. Since AD001, AD002, and AD007 (possibly the others?) are sourced from the temple region where huachuma was traditionally cultivated and used as medicine, I wonder if they’re more potent.

Any info helps. Thanks!

Hey yall currently running a cirlo tek on 104g of material and i dont think i have enough MEK FOR ALL 5 pulls.. how do i adjust accordingly? Do i add leas fumaric? Do i let my pulls sot and mix for longer?

Pretty good yield from 15ish feet. Just over 14g of alkaloid weight per foot. Tek will be up in the next few days, bioassay report soon.

This resin is dry enough to not stick to anything, and very firm at room temperature.. but for the tek, I'm going to show the fully dry and shatterable state it dries into. The state it's in currently is perfect for capsuling. It can be flattened when warm and cut into capsule sized, moldable pieces. And this form allows you to fit more into each capsule.. the fully dry and powdered can fit around 750mg in a 00 capsule, the hash looking form can fit around 1.2-1.4g in a 00 capsule.

Edit: I apologize, I put alkaloid weight in a slang usage. I meant resin weight.

Tea tek

Wash the cuts off with hot water. Slice the cuts into roughly one inch thick stars, then cut the green meat away from the white. You can keep the green meat pieces larger or cut them into smaller pieces. Skin on or off is your preference. It all turns to pulp and falls away from the skin when boiling.

Brewing-

Put the meat in a pot and fill it up. Boil until the level is half way down (or lower) and fill the pot up again. Boil it again until the level is low. Ladle or pour the tea through two coffee filters, I prefer bamboo fiber (pic in comments, I ran out of picture space). Fill the brewing pot back up and re-boil the meat. I use a 5.5gal pot... you'll want something bigger than a gallon. It can take a larger volume of water to pull everything out.

Repeat those steps until you're not pulling anymore color out of the meat. Even a light yellow tea is something and could tip the scales from a mediocre experience to awesome journey. Wash it all out, don't waste anything. This batch took 10 pulls to get everything out of 15ish feet.

Reduction-

Reduce the combined tea in the reduction pot down at a temperature lower than boiling, 150-160f is ideal. As it reduces down, you'll start to see the fats separate. This is when the water ratio in the alkaloid:fat:water ratio is getting low, raising the alkaloid ratio. The fats are not soluble in the alkaloids with little water, and fall out as the water steams away. Wait until the tea is pulpy looking and starts producing patterns, and run it through more filters. This improves the color and clarity of the tea. Keep reducing it down. You're not done yet. Once the film forms, turn off the heat and put a lid on. The steam will break up the film and turn the resin ring around the pot back into tea. That film forms when there is still a decent fat content. From here, I warm the tea up to 150f, turn off the heat and cover until the lid is covered in big water droplets and pour everything out.

Once its down to a very low level and the fats are done separating, let it decant and filter it again. This step takes patience... it's going to be slow, but with the fats separated, the viscosity is much thinner, it'll make it through. If it's clean, with a flashlight you should be able to see all of the scratches in the bottom of the pot through it.

Once all of the fats are out, let it cool to room temp. This is when the vinegar is added in. If you're just cooking up a couple feet, 300-500mL of 5% white vinegar will do the trick. It varies from batch to batch, though. The goal is to bring it back up to a slightly thicker than cold water consistency. Stir it around for 30ish minutes and then let it sit at room temperature for a while to allow the acetic acid to put in some work. If you're patient enough, 24hrs gives the best results. It will have thickened up slightly from that addition of vinegar.

Doing this allows the alkaloids to pass the blood brain barrier with ease for extremely powerful open eye visuals. It's highly absorbable. I know a lot of this seems unnecessary because you can drink it full of fats and it still works. But, the advantages of this are it becomes a tea instead of a meal for your stomach acid. It leaves the stomach far quicker than a fatty cloudy meal of a tea. It takes quite a while for the stomach acid to break down that snot. Reduced nausea, better taste, and smaller amount to drink. If you're making resin, it reduces the weight necessary for heavy effects.

It's important to note that some cuts contain too much fat and its extremely hard to get things to separate in a smaller batch. I use some plants that need to be cooked up in a 10+ foot batch to achieve that beautiful final separation. Some cuts, I can achieve it by brewing up a foot. It really varies from chemovar to chemovar. These cuts were definitely extra fatty and would be difficult to make a clean 3 foot batch from.

The resin tek write-up will be shared soon, I'm still working on the batch and want to get the corresponding pictures together.

Trip Report: 310mg boof bear

Followed the cocoa butter boof bullets tek and made one 310mg fumarate bear.

Inserted around 6:30am, right after dawn. I had moved my bowels immediately beforehand and also did a disposable enema.

Effects: very Light to None/microdose

I was camping in a very gorgeous place (dispersed national parks camping with few to no people for miles) and testing this out for two reasons: hoping to need half my usual dose and also testing for a person I know who cannot stomach acidic foods due to surviving cancer. I had already decided that I was not willing to wander away from my campsite if it came on full strength, as I was alone in a hot desert in a place new to me.

After I laid down in my tent for about an hour and watched the sun rise and read my book I decided I didn’t think it was going to be more than a microdose. I got up and packed some fruit and water and went on a short hike. I was having some funny trippy thoughts but def not having any visuals. While filling my water bottle with ice, I was shocked that the ice I had already filled it with at dawn was melted, and thought that it might be aliens, and sat down suddenly from laughing so hard at the idea that the first sign of alien invasion would be all of sudden humanity’s ice was melting too fast. The hike wound up being like 3 hours, I was happy I had a chance to explore for a while. I found a small cave and some cool geodes.

After my hike I wound up being grateful that I was able to pack up and drive out bc the wind was gusting up to 40mph and my face got a bit wind burnt and if I didn’t have aluminum poles on my tent they would have splintered bc it was laying practically flat. I also wasn’t too keen on the light. Dust filled skies.. like wildfire smoke filled skies.. make everything too yellow and the light too long. It wasn’t too hot bc of the wind, but I decided I was very thankful to be sober enough to escape the slanted yellow light.

Once I got home I hit my larger bong and all of a sudden I was very lightly tripping. Very light gassy stomach kept my appetite at bay till nearly 4pm, at which point I decided I was hungry and really craving deviled eggs so I made them.

This was the first time I have ever done less than 600mg so I valued the experience of just having freed thoughts without going full send for once. I received a flash of insight on some family issues I have been up against lately. I am VERY grateful not to be stuck there right now in wind advisory conditions. And finally I learned.. not to boof it.

At the point that 310mg fumarate is sub threshold, even if it was user error somehow I’d just as soon eat it than try again w a higher dosage, ya know?

Others on here have reported stronger experiences with a half dose so I really wanted to give it a try, so I’m glad I did.

Removing thorns

Flat head pliers are great for removing thorns on a thirsty cactus, with a firm grip on the thorns and a twist they come out at the base of the growth site without losing flesh or breaking the skin too much. A lot quicker and easier than cutting away imo.

Dipping my toes, 100mg fumarate

I just tried the results of my first CIELO. Despite being a well experienced psychonaut. I was very cautious. I’m also an old fart! It was gentle, mild effect. But, I never questioned whether it was working. I was never anxious or overwhelmed. I was comfortable and in control. I dosed three hours before church. Not an accident. Perfect! It’s now been six hours. I feel normal. Still have a slightly baked feeling. I don’t really notice. Unless, I think about it.

I’m now comfortable with 600mg. When I was younger and dumber. I would have started with a G!

Powdered microdose with a tad bit of psilocybin

So I cut my san pedro and put it in the food dehydrator, ( strictly the meat right under the skin.All the green stuff) man, it turned out very brittle and smaller than I thought...We really are made of water lol. Anyway, I came up with about 《6 grams of powdered green stuff, and I have half an ounce from one Mushroom alone! So I got my huge knife and cut a little tiny bit off the bottom of this huge mushroom! I put that on the scale, and it was about 0.386mg. Put them all in the blender and blended them together ❤️ and things became togetherness. Now, I had almost 7 g of powder\n So I pulled out my toilet paper made it real thin by pulling apart the toilet paper ended up putting about 2 grams in the middle of each square piece, then i began to round it up like a little ball & Cut the extra off and I made my mouth very salivating & swallowed them all. It's been about twenty five minutes. Hey Bixby smart, I'll keep you guys updated because I know how it is trying to get information and try new things with the confidence. Of knowing that, someone else has tried it before me. Real quick, a little bit about myself.I love microdosing , psilocybin i've never really done it with mescaline, but when i Microdose, or macro dose in this occasion.I like to go to the club and dance my heart out. Just have a great time with the people I love or I'm cool with. I don't even drink alcohol. I drink water.\n I'm always the one that's going up to the DJ, and suggesting songs that everyone loves Actually, that's my girlfriend.To be honest , I was kind of lying about that lol my bad, anyway, wish me luck and please.If you have any suggestions or any wise words for me , don't be shy , even criticism , i'm open to. What do you guys think about mixing microdoses of San Pedro and psilocybin mushrooms?My dog wants to know. One love ❤️ one ❤️
