I used to make tea from it- my buddy Flip and me, we used to be some of Cactus Gem Nursery's best customers...(they were in Cupertino, CA). Funny, they never asked us what we were doing w/ it, they were pretty straight laced people...Anyway, how the fuck do you extract mescaline from it? I thought isolating mescaline alkaloids was pretty complex shit, don't you need a chromatographic column to do it, layering by mass spectral density? (Like isolating LSD-25 from iso-lysergic acid amides?)
The other alkaloids in San Pedro do some weird shit, I got some weird flashbacks from it...If I remember right, reserpine, atrophine? According to one book I used to have
(Legal Highs; published by The Church of the Tree of Life in Berkley) there are also a number of quote: "unidentifiable psychoactive alkaloids..."
Very different than Peyote, much mellower but some really straaange effects...
