thanks again kash,

can houses tek you mentioned be used with dried powder somehow?

getting live san pedro into canada is not legal and not a option. and buying it within canada, well it seems no one sells it live. but i can get dried powder.

Well, not exactly since it requires chunks, but you can still do the same simmer process, and just have to filter out the powder each pull and let the final volume sit overnight to precipitate out fine sediment. Just a little extra work.


It is pretty widely believed that naptha does not work with cacti extractions. I have never confirmed this and I doubt many have tried. I would like to test this theory some day soon. But no, the commonly used solvents with cacti are xylene, toluene, and d-limonen.

kash, i would love to ask you a few more questions on this..

if im using dried powder. you said

i never done this before, so this is my guess..

i would boil so much water(amount?), then reduce it to low heat on stove.. and throw in the san pedro powder and let it simmer for about 3 hours. after 3 hours, pour the pot of cactus tea through a coffee filter and collect the tea that funnels through.. then let that evaporate on a glass dish by using fan powder.. until i am left with some dry brown/orange looking material? mescaline acetates that are safe to ingest?

this is my guess, i really have no idea with cacti extractions.. i only done dmt extract and shroom tea.

Ya thats about right. Simmer 2-3 hrs and then seperate the liquid and powder. Keep pulling the powder with more liquid until it doesnt taste like bitter cactus alkaloids, and reduce the liquid from each pull on the stove to a small manageable combined volume (300-400ml).

Wow mine came out very cloudy. Is that a good thing
