Extraction/Experience/San Pedro

1. Remove thin layer of skin. Fingernails, razorblades and patients.
2. Remove the core from the Cactus and discard it. Big damn knife.
3. I ignore step one and two if I am lazy. Those parts of the plant do not contain mescaline but do contain some alkaloids that add to nausea. However this is really relative. Do what thou wilt.
3. Slice remaining cactus into pieces that can be placed in a dehydrator.
4. After dehydration, I place the pieces into a coffee grinder and turn them into powder. Alternatively I would use a pestle and mortar and crush them into oblivion.
5. Place powder into a large mason jar and fill the jar with Everclear roughly 2 or 3 inches above the powder. Place jar in dark closet and shake it every once in a while. I repeat this process for 2 or 3 days or even 5 days. The Everclear will turn black.
6. Pour the black Everclear into a Pyrex dish, careful not to pour the mesh or green goo into the dish. I only want the black liquid. Consider using a filter.
7. Now pour fresh Everclear into the mason jar again with the mesh and repeat steps 5 and 6 until the Everclear is no longer black. It eventually turns greenish-brown and is of no use to me. Discard mesh and slime.

8. At this point I have a decent amount of black Everclear in a Pyrex dish. Proceed to putting a fan above the dish and dehydrate the alcohol. I will be left with a black tar. Continue to dehydrate this black tar as it is super sticky and hard to manage. I like to dehydrate it until it is literally dry. I do this only because the tar is hard to manage as it is extremely sticky. I use a razor blade to scrape it up.
10. I can now place the tar into capsules or eat it.

Commentary and Experience

I have used this process twice and created two extremely powerful batches. The exact measurements are hard to calculate as different strains may be stronger or weaker and plants are various sizes both in length and in diameter.

Batch 1 - I used 8 feet long possibly (2 and half inches in diameter) of San Pedro. I created enough tar for 4 people to have a very good and pleasant trip that lasted about 8 hours and was very similar to 1 hit of LSD. Yet is was much more mild and controllable. To be honest it was perfect in every way without any nausea or bad side effects. It began after 45 minutes.

Batch 2 - I used 7 and half feet long (3 to 4 inches in diameter) of a different strain of San Pedro. I ate exactly half of the batch myself, within 45 minutes I began hallucinating and tripping. I tripped extremely hard for 12 hours and was awake for 48 hours. I vomited about 15 times. I lost control of my muscles in my hands and was unable to move my fingers. My whole body had tremors and shakes akin to a seizure. At the exact same time I was hallucinating that I was inside a temple with two giant king cobra snakes that were telepathic. It was a horrible experience and I believed I was going to die. I became massively dehydrated and thought I was on death's door for several hours. This was one of the worst experiences of my life. The blood vessels in both of my eyes literally exploded. Batch number 2 looks like it might have been enough for 10 normal trips or 2 near death experiences.
