hey watsup... so i might try cactus with my friend cannbissoul... just wondering if theres any tips or info on it i might need to know? thanks
What kind of cacti? There are subtle differences between the species, but you can expect basically the same thing from peyote, san pedro, peruvian torch and others. My advice would be to do it when you're feeling good emotionally and don't have a lot to do that day. You might wanna make some ginger or peppermint tea to counter any nausea that could happen, and don't take it on a completely empty or full stomach. Obviously, don't try to drive or do anything that requires intense concentration. Decide how strong you want the trip to be, then research the appropriate dose for reaching that level. Don't just take some random amount. As far as making it more fun, I like to be out in nature, going on car rides (w/ a sober driver), reading, looking at trippy art, listening to music, and laying on the ground with my eyes closed relaxing. Wherever you are, it should be somewhere you feel 100% comfortable. Mescaline is a fairly innocuous psychedelic compared to LSD, DMT, or some of the others. I found it impossible to induce a bad trip even if I tried. I took 10 inches of San Pedro and tripped for 12 hours--mild visuals, lots of smiling, increased sensory perception, and alternating periods of exhaustion and stimulation. Most importantly: DON'T BE AFRAID! Cacti give a lovely trip that's easily controlled with little effort, so just go all in or don't do it at all. Commit to the experience!
I only ever took a low dose of dried san pedro, about 25/30 grams (reason being it is without a doubt one of the worst things i've ever tasted). The trip lasted about 6/7 hours and was great fun- it had really good vibes, pretty good visuals, i had a good philosophical discussion and for the entire duration the drug felt very manageable. I'd recommend it. only thing i'd warn against is don't do it when there are people around who you don't want to know you're tripping, instant bad vibes, no matter how mellow the trip.
