The "trip" resulting from this recipe lasts 8 to 12 hours and is
considered to be pretty harmless, but it is quite illegal,
unfortunately. :-P

Well, _we thought_ it was harmless way back when, but I'm not so sure
it is still considered so.

Here's an herbal prescription for you...

Find one very large, healthy San Pedro cactus. (Peruvian torch works too)
They can easily be found on line, or at any good nursery that keeps
landscaping plants.

Take a 1 ft. section (or approx. 200 to 300 grams if you want to weigh
it out). Remove all the spines with a veggie tool and slice it into one
inch slices. Carefully remove the round woody core. The lower or older
growth will be highest in Alkaloids so just save the upper part of the
whole for cactus propagation.

Cut it up into chunks and place it into the blender, and run on high
until it's well pulverized. Strain off the juice and reduce it on a VERY
low simmer until it's down to about 1 cup. Boiling it damages the active
ingredient. Mix LIBERALLY with grapefruit juice and honey.

Hold your nose and down it quickly on an empty stomach.

Lay down and wait 2 hours.

Wear sunglasses. ;-)

And don't take with any other medications...
And don't try to drive or work.
And have your DH handy!!!

And remember, ownership of these cacti is legal, but it is NOT legal to
ingest them. Seriously... <sigh>

Wow, Katra! I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am for this recipe.
I really can't. LOL!

It's posting was meant as humor... ;-)
I am glad that you took it that way!

I'd be very concerned about you if you thought I'd actually go to all that
trouble. <G>

I feel weird enough all by myself without going to great lengths to feel
even weirder. LOL!

You mean I can't get San Pedro cactus in Minnesota? Damn! I was gonna
whip up a batch of this stuff for Crash. Oh well ...

You believe that? And it thinks it's a web site. (snork)
What a moron.

Today, I'm not believing anything! ;-)

What the heck is a web sight?

They said it was a web sight. Not me.

Replying to my own post. The one referenced above showed up a half
hour or more later. Seems unlikely to me that it was a machine-made
glitch, rather than a man-made one.

Mescaline is not quite as likely as peyote buttons to provoke
ralphing, but almost.

I've read various accounts. ;-)
Some people can handle it no problem, others ralph their guts out before
the 4 hour peak.... but in peyote use, that is supposed to accentuate
the trip.

Ayahuasca is supposed to be even worse.

I think I'll pass. <lol>

Well, that goes for _any_ psychoactive plant! Mushrooms included.
It's pretty harmless if you are not stupid enough to overdose, or if you
have a pre-disposing psychotic condition, it can either cure it or make
it worse.

Some psychiatrists are now experimenting with psilocybin to enhance
treatment under supervision. Takes some heavy duty DEA licensing to do
it but the use of Mescalin, Psilocybin and Ibogaine is supposed to
really REALLY help cure alcoholism and other substance abuse addictions.

The interesting thing about the basic psychoactives is that they are not
capable of becoming addictive due to receptor upload in the brain. After
the first couple of doses, they won't work for awhile... At all.

But then there was Castaneda's use of Datura!
Much more dangerous!

Beautiful plants tho' and highly available as a landscaping item.

But then again...... with proper use, stuff like this is supposed to be
therapeutic.

Personally, I've studied it as part of my "ancient religious" studies,
but would most likely never have the guts to actually try it! <sigh>
