Mescaline Acetate

So posting this in case anyone has any question and wants to extract their own mescaline, also to prove acetate dosent always turn out brown goop...my procedure was just a straight up a/b extract using acetic acid(5% white vinager), sodium hydroxide, and xylene...pretty simple stuff just cut all my fresh cactus into stars, then cut the stars into 4 pieces and boiled for a couple hours , filtered out the plant matter and boiled again, then combind to 2 boils and reduced to a workable amount of cactus tea..then brought pH down to 4 to defeat and back up to 10 to base then salted the mesc freebase out with the %5 acetic acid....used a lot of cactus to make this, prolly 25-30ish lbs of fresh cut cactus, so far I'm happy with how it's turning out after evaping my first pull, still have a lot more to pull n evap so I'll post again when all scraped up n capd, so far looks like it will turn out a nice off white powder

Somthing tells me after 800mg-1g of this n I'll be glued to my bed

following

So, you have a water based product that was defatted with pH 4, then added OH to bring ph to 10, then added ph4 xylene-acetic acid? Pull the xylene, evaporate in a dish?

No, pHd the cactus tea to 4 with the vinager then make a couple xylene pulls to defat, raised the pH to 10 and did a bunch of pulls with xylene, then too the xylene filled with goodies and added acetic acid to that, the mescaline salted out of the xylene into the vinegar, then evapd the vinegar...I will say San Pedro has REALLY small yields tho

What do you think you would do differently to increase yields?

start with a known potent cut or just use peyote, I got these cactus at lowes so that might be why they arnt as potent as ones you buy online...i plan on starting some peyote and trying to graft them onto my San Pedro...eventually

Woah lowes? You sure it wasnt tricho grandifloris?

I tried grafting loph to opuntia ficus, it's been sitting there with tape on it forawhile. But I used an unrooted pad of opuntia so it's taking a while to show growth in any part. The loph appears to be bonded

That's what it said it was on the tag, and it looks like San Pedro

I so loved the mescaline that I did back in the 70s. Buttons were cheap but the eventual barf-fest was a bit off-putting. For a couple years you could get these flat tabs of mesc called brown wafer mescaline that were really nice. Get a real trippy ride without the technicolor burp.

Whether they were some form of concentrated buttons or a chemical approximation I'll never know but the buzz was exactly the same. I was heavily into acid and any hallucinogens available then in the Vancouver area. There were lots.

When I was 15 I flew down to Belmont, CA to visit my cousin who was one of my best friends. They lived in Van up by Little Mountain and I used to ride my bike up there from Richmond to hang with him over weekends a lot. His dad got a job with Boeing and they moved to CA about a year before I went down. Took 10 tabs of white microdot acid with me but that's another story with a page worth of telling.

I have books with directions how to extract all sorts of plant materials and the Erowid site has many more. Quite simple really for someone like me with a diploma in environmental chem but easy enough for anyone intelligent enough to follow directions and obtain or DIY the needed equipment and simple chemicals needed. Many can be substituted to do the same job but you have to know what works.

Got me hot to contact a guy who grows 'shrooms. He'll trade 2oz of his for 1oz of mine. Miss those too as we used to pick buckets full in the Fraser Valley back in the day. Supposed to be good for depression and tho pot sure helps it's very temporary and maybe 'shrooms might last longer of they work at all.

Oh ok, I've only ever seen torch ccactus at lowes but then identified as t. Grandifloris. These were an inactive variety of trichocereus. Let us know about the trip report though!

Will do, I'm sure it's psychoactive, just the yield is hardly worth the effort, not to mention time it took to grow that much
