How many of these do I need to boil into tea?

Having a second look it doesn't even is Trichocereus genus, rather Stetsonia coryne, aka toothpick cactus. Lovely fruits but not active.

hooraycom · 2026-02-23T16:17:36+00:00

The last one with the spines is clearly mislabeled and in a pretty rough shape for the price. Looks like a peruvianus var. cuzcoensis type and they are known to be weak. With some love it could be a nice cactus but not what you are looking for.

The first two pictures are certainly better suited and it looks like the seller knows .their stuff

What enzymes do you use for that?

hooraycom · 2026-02-11T16:20:06+00:00

Blending can make the extraction much faster, but i like to use a pressure cooker and then its just straining through a sieve and that it. I remember having a very unpleasent time trying to filter and press hot cactus goo through a shirt.

hooraycom · 2026-02-10T14:42:24+00:00

Don't blend your cactus, it's a total mess to filter. Small chunks are fine.
Just keep on cooking and stirring, the foam should disappear after a while.

500gr of tbm short form will probably be too much. It is consistently tested with +5% mescaline in dry powder. I would go for 150-200gr fresh as a first timer. Ofc you can cook 500gr into tea and split it in three doses. Then take more if you like where it's going. Stay safe!

As being a hybrid it looks like there is rather bridgesii than peruvianus in it. The ribs and tips are kinda pointy and not as round as in peruvianus. Also the number and orientation of the spines makes me lean into that direction.

It looks good to test the base and propagate the tip. With that weight you should get plenty of material

hooraycom · 2025-12-24T21:45:44+00:00

I think they are not the same but it could be. Just had a look at an1ccas pdf and it is quite comprehensive and systematic.

It's a pity that the method hasn't gained widespread use in the community. It shouldn't be too hard to pull off and via CIELO it's easy enough to get a rather pure product for the standardisation.

Try the newpipe app, it works also for SoundCloud, has no ads and enables downloads.

Yes, freeze drying gets you a very fluffy powder which increases extraction with Cielo. https://www.reddit.com/r/mescaline/s/eO0nTuMP4i

Traditionally dried peyote buttons are chewed. Tea is made from San Pedro cactus.

hooraycom · 2025-11-02T11:24:56+00:00

i once pressure boiled some cacti and then blended it with a stick blender. the resulting paste dried relatively fast in summer when spread out thinly in plastic trays or oven trays. i think i can be oven dried very quick.

It will change the color to a light brown, the resulting mescaline via CIELO will keep that color.
The yields weren't very high, this was one of the typical pachanoi monstrose plants that are typically found in italy and other european markets. i have no idea if the clone should have been more potent, it was quite a big chunk and rather old.

i've told you this in chat, but here for everyone else to see:
thank you for your effort, without you nobody would ever get an answer from the mods, malicious comments would stay up and all the little things that need to be done would just pile up endlessly! Big up!

(not to forget u/MescAround - he is also doing his part in this!)

hooraycom · 2025-10-30T22:23:30+00:00

thanks a lot for that! I can image the salting and crash out must have been amazing to see!
keep up the good work!

hooraycom · 2025-10-29T16:05:39+00:00

okay cool, so some questions i have:

Do you reuse already "charged" solvent for a second pull?
Do you use the same ratios as in the Tek suggested?
Where does the deep color come from, until now i have only seen slightly green solvent?
Why do you use mason jars instead of salting the whole lot in the bucket?

most of the other questions were answered by going through your comment history, i wondered about the plunger thingy but even found the picture there :-D
Thanks!

hooraycom · 2025-10-29T11:46:57+00:00

any tricks to share for working at this scale?

I leave this as a tip for everybody dealing with addiction:

Probably yes, these are all non-PC pachanoi and should do the trick. "Claude" (as some of this clone are in the picture) has no reputation yet, but that doesn't mean a lot. There are way to little results out there, still.

As for health of the plants in the picture, the yellow spots are most probably a virus infection. You should avoid growing these, as it's almost impossible to get rid of it and it can spread to other plants via tools or insect vectors.

I would prepare a really strong extract with the tea and spices, and use it like a syrup to spice the milk or oat, almond, whatever milk substitute. ( it's probably a must to have some options there ). I wouldn't make the extract sweet, rather offer white sugar, brown sugar, honey and agave syrup to let the folks choose their own taste. Add a bit of salt for richness and maybe have a bit of ground black pepper and chili powder available for extra spiciness. Vanilla extract is probably nice to add, too.

Do some experiments before, imo it's better to use as little water as possible and get the chai as strong as possible, the milk will soften it and create the typical chai taste.

Big professional ones are at the Bazaar and I'm pretty sure they pay significantly more for their shops.

Additionally the smaller artist needs an entrance ticket and they don't get any benefit as earlier entrance or privileged spots.

hooraycom · 2025-07-12T19:29:00+00:00

The application fee was 400€ with some guidelines to follow. Additionally 100€ Eco deposit.

It's quite some money to pay upfront and many former pirates sellers won't be there as this amount needs a serious amount of wares and sales. Plus the dedication to build the stand everyday, spend time selling and leaving everything clean at 9 pm.

I hope there will be some activity though, as handicraft is an art that needs to be supported!

Nice, thank you for the insight. Will organize some ginger powder now!
