How to Prepare San Pedro: Best, Fastest, and Easiest Method
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- I decided that I would remake my San Pedro Preparation video when it hit a 100k views. I learned a few tricks and made a few adjustments that save time and reduce bitterness, and so this is the Even Better Best Way to Prepare San Pedro.
Huachuma is powerful medicine for body, spirit, heart, and mind. Respect and caution is necessary, because of variation in the potency of material. 12-18 inches per person is a standard recommendation, although older, thicker cactus, obviously less. Just a few simple steps. .
I do not mention in the video the importance that shamans place upon maintaining the energy of the space throughout, from harvest to cup, This is in my experience, something to take seriously. It certainly can't hurt. The mind is focussed on some specific or general intent, and tobacco smoke is blown (especially before harvesting) or Icaros are whistle-blown into the medicine from time to time while cooking, and just before serving.

Eh-yeah!!!!!
For an "insider" this was really entertaining. I never found it to be necessary to save time when brewing it, because the beginning of the process is part of the whole experience, but I do get those people, who are looking for a fast way to do this.
In 1994 I bought a San Pedro with an instruction for its preparation. The next 20 years I brewed once a year a dose for me to consume and since Trichoceraeus Pachanoii grows like a weed, there are now about 50 cacti in and around my town. Over the years I've somewhat finessed "my" method* and erased certain unnecessary steps with the aim to reduce superfluous steps and to minimize the horrible taste**. I can only emphasize the use of a very good filtering appliance (I prefer a fine cloth), the use of lime- or citrus-juice with the finished product AND the mental acumen to consume it very slowly in 20min intervals - who wants to asphyxiate himself by gulping an overdose???
*30cm length, 5-6cm diameter, removal of the middle part, cooking the piece for three hours, scraping the gooey mass from the skin with a knife and cooking it another two hours, sieving it thoroughly, reducing the brew to 600ml, adding the citrus-juice to my liking and keeping the whole mess in a thermos-flask
**when I brewed it the first time my product tasted like bitter mud, 20 years later it tasted like medicine
Those spiders were living their best life.
I once randomly took pure mescaline and it changed my life. 12 hours of intense tripping. could never find it again, im interested in trying more.
Nice. We have San Pedro retreats August and September
You could extract it from cactus. Requires some basic chemistry, but in short you process similar to described, then add more water and make basic. Then add something that pills the free base out like hexane. Separate, dry the hexane and use dry HCl gas to make a salt of pure mescaline. Can be purified even more by recrystalizing from dry isopropyl alcohol.❤
Love the info about long time boiling. Makes sense. In the 70s before much info was available we boiled it for 3-5 hours to reduce and had great earth loving , life changing experiences. We didn’t know about the core and skin but was still beautiful
7:06 you don’t need to control the fire, boiling water is ALWAYS the same temperature, it’s a phase transition temperature, only changes if pressurized
It’s not just boiling water. As the water reduces, the masterial can get too hot and burn
0:09 This shot, woah. I can’t believe how some people are so abundantly blessed with San Pedro. I only one one cutting that’s nie about two feet high. Can’t wait to watch it flourish, change, and grow, and reproduce.
Cheers 🥂
Same ! Just bought a cutting , that has a tiny baby growing off the top . I’ll be waiting a while , but I’m excited
I ate the green parts raw when I was in Ecuador. Still had a warm experience :) very insightful!
While preparing the infusion enjoy a green smoothie, :)
Did you get a buzz?
🤦
I just bought my first san Pedro today and named it pickle. Imma check out your channel
This the kinda vids I gotta save in case you get deleted- got the info in my head but still
Bro you’re a bad ass thank you for posting this. Wow…… thank you for posting this I respect you a lot . Salute , real recognize real
On the topic of heat, you're never really heating it beyond 212F/100C because there's water in the solution. I'm sure that if the water dries up then you'll find a way to overheat the alkaloids.
I remember the first time I had T. pachanoi me and some friends did consume some of the skin, it was pretty brutal to get down even blended. Shit that was deep though, full on energetic pulsing waves coursing through the body, up to that point that was the most intense journey I'd be on. I ended up projectile vomiting pure green at around 6am. I've been growing these medicine cacti for 20 years now. Good times 👍🤙🌵
Sounds familiar
Do you find that the cactus elevates blood pressure,? I stopped eating shrooms because of this. I don't know if all psychedelics elevate pressure
@@arnyarny77
I'm not sure about that, I very rarely ingest cactus.. maybe once every few years. Mushrooms I often microdose, but I haven't noticed any issues tbh.
Also the quality of this new video is incredible… thank you for making a new one with your new experiences and growth.
Cheerrd
I just put in my electric pressure cooker for 1.5hrs it tastes good!
If you're interested the boiling point of Mescaline is 180 degrees Celsius or 356 degrees Fahrenheit.
That San Pedro Paste sound interesting, please a video of this would be amazing. Thanks for the videos man!!!
Yes pls
Omg.. look at that P.Viridis in the background ,live in Australia and have just started growing viridis. Lil bit jealous tbh
Can i also ask ,I think I can see B.Caapi growing in the background, does it choke and kill what ever species it decides to latch on to?
I always use lime juice to increase ph it always helps with nausea but can make it hard to swallow versus vinegar! Lime helps the liver process toxins it's why it's used in so many alcohol beverages! I always drink it in about 8 ounces of liquid.
The cactus concentrates alkloids near the skin as it is a natural pesticide and tastes bitter to anomals. To pull simply despine, blend up with a durable blender. Add an acid till its slightly acidic. Freeze and thaw. Strain and boil down. If you want pure alkloids strain the juice. Cover the strained stuff with distilled water till its not bitter. Combine it all and make basic to PH of 14. Next add 100ml of nonpolar like hexane. Shake gently for 30 minutes. Do this dayly fot 3 to 5 days. Separate the basic part and the hexane. That has the alkloids in it. Take this and add about 1 gram per 100ml of dried epsom salt and shake. Let set for a day. Next make a HCl gas generator and bubble it through your hexane/alkloids. After a while it will look like its smowing in the bottle after this starts continue bubbling for 5 minutes then stop adding gas and let it rest tightly closed. The snowing stuff is mescaline hydrochloride. It can be purified even more by disolving in boiling water free alcohol tilk it just disolved, then covering and put in the freezer. It will give crystals that look a lot like sugar. If you cool slowly it makes larger needle llike crystals. ❤
My first time working with my Pedro, Thanks lot
Happy to help!
TLDR: you cant overheat things if you keep them wet, if your goods dry out while they are still on heat your screwed!
Water boils and turns to steam at 212F. This may sound obvious, but the steam is carrying excess heat away. This stops the solution from ever going above the boiling point of the liquid (water in this case). So it doesn't matter if someone boils for an hour or 18 days, the temp is never going to get above the boiling point of the water. The thing to watch out for would be boiling the water out becomes then the temp can spike to what ever temp the heat source is, which will definitely destroy alkaloids. Thing about making mashed potatoes on the stove, if you are not stirring well you can burn the potatoes on the bottom of the pot. That happens because the potatoes on the bottom dry out and they can now get to hot.
Same goes for cactuses, anything burnt to the bottom of the pot when you are done is wasted. be extra carful when you are concentrating your cactus juice, if you let it dry out while its still on the stove you definitely can destroy all of the Alkaloids.
The SLEEP intro definitely set a great tone
you can also extract with grain ethanol.
You will loose other alkaloids though
I like your energy brother.
Gracias hermano!
K Trout, who is a very knowledgeable and reliable source about all things cacti, stated that his research indicated most of the desired alkaloids are within the epidermal layer. His testing did not find a significant percentage within the pith or core.
The core is generally regarded as useless creo que si
just in time for tomorrow for my full moon ritual... I thought once upon a time about making my own how to prepare San Pedro video, but its pointless when you can just come here!! Is it bad that sometimes I don't even remove the wax and throw it straight in the blender, cook it down and strain? lol
Its only bad if you cant handle the purge. From a shamanic point of view, more purging means better medicine. So there's that.
From my experience, if you chuck the stars in a bowl and freeze & thaw you dont even need to blend. It also eliminates the slime that can develop. Why this is, IDK but anything that makes filtering a breeze is a godsend for me. .
My experience doesn’t jive, and the toxic all’s found in skin will be there, slime or no
Opening up with sleep 🤌🤌🤌🤌👌👌👌👌👌🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Hail Satan
I’ve never seen one of your videos before but I really enjoyed this and it was extremely helpful. Looking forward to seeing some of your new videos! 😁
Awesome!!! Welcome and let me know if I can be of service.
Enjoy the video! Always wondered how this work. Would love to start growing san pedro myself. The wife already grows some cacti, she enjoys them much more than normal house plants lol peace and love brother ✌️
Thanks brother,you make it sound easy …lol…peace…
Probably because it am tho.👽
Thank you for the video man, super helpful! That is an AWESOME necklace wrap by the way :)
RIght on man! Rhodochrosite frome Argentina
I'm 78 and have a piece of frozen cactus like yours. Watched a lot of video and read a lot. You make it look easy but for me you don't project a lot of trust, just the way I see you/hear you. No disrespect intended. Seems like enough people do like/ trust you. I've been tripping off and on all my life. I'm going to go for the 6 hour boil. Why does your voice high pitch at certain time during the video. I'm going to do a shot glass full to start. Wait about 2 hours and see. Ill let you know how it went in a couple of days. Thanks, Niles
and?
And then...
Its protected by the water. If you overheat the dry powdered or paste extract, then thats where you have to worry about too much heat. At that point, i normally just use sunlight though.
Length of cactus (1-3ft) to remaining liquid = dosage...so consider if you brew a given length say 2 ft for discussion, brew it in a given volume of liquid then condense it to a given amount say 5 oz it's 5 oz/dose. so say you process 21 ft. and condense it to say 14 oz you divide 21 by 3 ( I always did 3 per dose) you have 7. 14 divided by 7 = 2 oz...still tho this vid takes some extra steps so his methos probably is more efficient in total extraction then what I discovered back in my days of trials..haven't done this in a long while so we're building on a foundation of knowledge. have a good flight! I'll add I used a juice extractor and used all liquid in the cactus. no water added. used the entire cactus too nothing wasted.
You should do an experiment to find out which part of the cactus is the most potent.
Do extractions on different parts and take them separately and compare results.
People have published online analysis that show even distribution throughout. I have friends that have gotten results that suggest that the green layer is three x's as potent.
@Humble 9300 people say that, but supposedly analysis shows that alkaloids are distributed evenly. Jury is still out.
@@Illumignostic so it doesn't make sense to throw out the white centre part no?
@@charlescarabott7692 I do. there is little meicine in the c ore
@@Illumignostic I have read that the inner core is used by natives for skin care and problems
Found a new favorite channel
Hey thats awesome, man! sty in touch!
Sending you love and light namaste 💚. Thank you for helping people to know how to prepare this sacred medicine.
A man amongst men.
And cacti
You are really a source of pretty amazing knowledge. lots of tips came from your video, man. I am truly impressed. I'll use white vinegar next time and I got something for you. I did this put it in the freezer shit. And now I would say, first take the meat out and just then use it when you take from the freezer just what you need. THe green shinny meat. love you man, keep posting,,,
Cheers my friend…
Mate I need your help asap if you are around.
Just harvested 20 feet from a San Pedro that needed to be removed.
How should I store the other pieces.
Outside in the sun?
Or inside in a cool place, out of the sunlight?
I see you have a whole bundle of cut cactus that looks like it's been cut years ago.
Much Gratitude Mate, I just became a Subscriber
Thanks for subscribing! You can put it in a cool dry place for at least a year it will stay alive. You can cut it into thin pieces and dry after that. Cheers!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Do you use those pieces thst are in the video, sitting around outside like firewood?
@@markbluthedoctor7617 yes
Well, as far as heat, if you have water and it’s not under pressure, the temperature will remain the same no matter how big the flames, or time.
Ok but doesn't water stop existing in the states we recognize without pressure??
Hell yeah! Thanks for droppin the knowledge man!
De nada
Omg it's the prequel 🙏 epic thanks
Thank You for sharing your knowledge 🙏🙏
Cheers
Greetings from Bronx NY have a little cats growing on my window sill need to order some and try ur method thanks for redoing vid
Learning a lot from your channel. Much love and blessings, mate!
I have just done this method and thank you for uploading this video; very easy to follow and complete. I am having a little trouble as to know how far to boil the end product down to achieve the 1oz dosage. I have boiled it down a 19inch San Pedro into about one glass full of dark green liquid but am unsure if I need to keep reboiling down or not to concentrate it more? Just a little worried about taking too much and blacking out. Can you give me any tips on how much I should boil it down or whether drinking this whole glass would be safe? Just need some guidance. Cheers for the awesome video mate.
There is no way to know how potent the cactus is.Try 1/2 wait at least 1.5 hours. Good luck
lol howd it go??
Thank you man!! I’m using your tek right now!
Buen viaje
@@Illumignostic ❤️ will do! It’s our first time!
Thankyou for this video brother 🙏🌵🛸
Hahaha dig the sleep intro, good info!
One of the best cooking tutorials I've seen and I've watched a lot. Question - my cactus is approximately 20 inches long by 2 inch wide. How many doses should that equate to?
It depends upon potency, but probably a bit more than 1. I use usually 18 inches per person
hey great video. i’ve never tried san pedro but i’ve tried a bunch of other psychs and i’m excited to try this one but i have a question. once you get the light green tea after you strain it, do you have to boil out the water and make it the dark green color or could you just drink it right when you strain it? i’m just wondering cuz i really don’t want to mess this up.
Either way. Concentrated is easier
Excellent video man down to earth and knowledgeable
Lots of Love man, thanks
Awesome video ... thank you so much for all you do. Peace ♥❤
Cheers 🥂
Just interested thank u
love the 2 on the go bro.....✨🍄
If you use a program like Marvin sketch to generate a protonation table based on pKa, you will see that at a pH of about 7, 99% of mescaline will be in it's ionic salt form. It's already in it's ionic salt form in the cactus which probably has a pH of about 5-6, so adding tons of vinegar is not really needed unless your water is very alkaline to start with. Regular old distilled water with a pH of about 7 should be fine. You drop that down a little bit, but it's probably not needed
Thank you such a great video 🎉
With Trichocereus bridgesii (bolivian San Pedro) a piece like that would be enough for 2 to 4 steong doses and you need to to do just 2 pulls simmering diced green flesh 1 hour for each pull and then reduce and filter to obtain a shot per dose of clear golden and very bitter but otherwise not vile at all tea.
Strong is relative. Variation from cactus to cactus in my experience, even within species, is up to 10x, especially when dealing with wild cactus.
@@Illumignostic Of course, but I find pure bridgesii, the classic skinny with long yellow spines kind, to be the most consistently potent, especially when stressed. Bridgesii monster short form clone B is even more potent and has tested recently at 6.5% of dry weight in mescaline.
Great video and subscribed. Gonna try this method today. Have some that I've been growing forever but wanted to get a good preparation method before I cut it. Had a question on the garbled sound in the warning part though, is that something utube did?? would think they would let that part be known?
I don’t remember
Badass video bro, thanks for sharing some of your wisdom, I just bought a cactus and I’m going to do it your way and give this crazy shit a try!🤢🤮😝 Any suggestions on what to do on your first time taking this?
Yes be really careful,especially if you’re working with a cactus you haven’t tried. Take a little, and wait for 2.5 hours before taking more. Blackouts happen quite often. Also it last forever so start early
@@Illumignostic 🤣🤘👹🤘💤💓💖😾😼
Interesting. Good explanation of methods. Thanks
You are welcome!
Your the mescaline pro of the world dude
Lol. Just posted some pics of my new peyote cactus’ in my community feed
Can't thank you enough.Great video
What a great educational video! I had no idea about the vinegar (or lime) and thought straight water would be okay. Thanks!
Hi. I was wondering does it matter what type of cultivar the San Pedro cactus is? I am looking to order it online and want to make sure that I purchase the right one. Thanks!
Great idea for the filter man
Have you tried extracting alkaloids with pressure-cooker?
Afraid not
1st video I e watched if yours. Freaking great
1oz usually good 3oz usually not good
Cheers
I wish i lived where theae grew in the nature, as a Scandinavian with only 4 cacti i have cared for over 10 years, i cant bring myself to consumers them as thats like 4-5 years of growth just that stem due to climate
Very informative. I'm going to order some fresh cuttings. Thank you. If you don't finish it all, how long will it last in the refrigerator?
Years
Thanks for the video man, very good info!
Ive noticed when storing the finished product in the fridge it has started to seperate into dark at bottom and lighter green liquid at top, will it be ok to just shake n mix before consuming or would I need to boil again?
all good unless fermenting occurs
in which case boil for a few minutes
love your videos, commenting from Australia
I've got 500 or 800 grams of frozen cactus skin in the freezer i reckon i will cook up soon.
Lucas, I have this growing in Australia. I recently cooked some to try and it was mindblowing. Careful it's a medicine not a party drug.
@@jimbaillie0 yeah mate, not fun at all at a party lol
Your awesome! Thank you for your teaching. Do you have any knowledge about Peruvian Torch?
It is roughly the same
very good video, thank you
Cheers!
Love the intro music! SLEEP! 🤘🤘
Thank you. Such a dope hat.
Beautiful video, how long can you store San Pedro drink?
Longer than you will live. Just boil if it ferments
Well done brother, You made the best source of education about this topic on UA-cam,thank you so much 💚
Also I Have questions ,
1.I didn't get the trick! What should I do after the first boil? Reboil the pulps or what? Wash it? What does it mean?😵
2.Should we reboil the strained water from pulps again to turn to that green water into brown? pls help me😅🤍
Rebook pulp 3x, strain, reduce
That's some good cooking 👍
And that would be ayahuasca cooking like its a fucking tea pot or something. Love you man. Cool guy you are.
ty for the video very helpfull. for how long can i store the tea. and is it okay to use appel cider vinege
I dont know about apple cider vinegar. You can keep the tea forever. If it smells fermented, boil for a few minutes and its fine again. CHeers!
About time I had a wee wonder
Hey man just cooked some up now bro ended up doing the hash method how long does it last and how do I store it? Also is it OK if I go burnt bits mixed up amongst the gooey hash ? Sorry if that makes no sense
Yeah, it fine. Melt 10 g in warm water. Store for yesrd
Amazing.
The disclaimer assured me I was in the right place.
Good
Does the freeze/ thaw method still work after you make the purée?
Thank you, your vids are very informative.
You must freeze/thaw before purée to remove skin
@@Illumignostic and by that you mean 18 inches of all of that cactus? So you mean an 18 in cactus is the dose per person?
@@andrewcollins208 correct
Should be quite strong
Thank you
I'm going to cook mine rite now. i have an idea how. but my question is, i just cook which part?
The green segments
Hello I love your video, I have a question I hope you can help me with. I followed your procedures to make the cactus tea. I started with three 18 cactus pieces. I blended and boiled 2 times for over 6 hours. The tea was a light green. Then I reduced the tea to about 2 cups. Due to the concentration the tea became dark green. I then put it into a glass jar and refrigerated with plan’s for my birthday next weekend. I noticed a white fine sediment at the bottom of the jar after it was sitting. Is the white sediment the alkaloid? I will stir it before drinking. Thanks
The white sediment is just sediments, lol
@@Illumignostic thanks for your quick reply. I can’t wait to try it next weekend.
@@tomparlo9510 buen viaje
@@Illumignostic thanks 😊
I'm already in the process so this will be for future attempts for me but I have a few questions. When you boil the broth down, and get the plant matter and liquid, which are you using? I was under the impression you want the liquid but apparently that block of plant resin stuff is golden too? Also, should one stir their mixture as it boils? Thank you for the video brother!
The plant resin is just the concentrated liquid. Stir from time to time.
you can add turmeric or cumin because there are MAOI inhibitors
This paper describes a validated method for dosing your cactus tea:
I just have a quick question for you sir, do you incorporate any stone healing? Some folks are into that some aren’t so I was just curious on your take :) and if you are what are some of your favorite stones for positive energy and healing? I recently found my own amethyst while out working actually… I feel that has been an amazing discovery as that is my birth stone and I’m currently faceting an amethyst for my family friend who struggles from anxiety to help her. And since my discovery of my own amethyst I have noticed my overall mood and well being have improved. I feel closer and more connected to the stone since I am the one who picked up in its natural habitat 😁 I have only One in my collection. But I have many others that aren’t well known to most of the world and they are some of the most powerful stones I have ever felt. Anyway I hope you have a fantastic day thank you for all the videos and posts!
I do not. Rhodochrosite is a favorite tho
@@Illumignosticheck yeah man that’s real cool for sure. Rhodochrosite is an amazing one. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly sir.
Great video 👍
When I leave my San Pedro tea in the fridge it separates with a clear black watery stuff at the top and thick green sediment at the bottom.
I was hopeful the sediment was waste and I could drink just the black stuff, or does it all contain mescaline?
I would mix and drink
Hey, awesome video. This one and the first one I use as a reference I think they're the best on this platform. But I'm confused about the freezing process. Could you make one more video being very specific on that? I froze it three times, and now am I supposed to let it thaw for several hours before I peel away the skin?
yes. Freeze/thaw, repeat 3x's, last thaw peel skin
@@Illumignostic Thanks for the reply. You already got a sub from me for sure. When I tried yesterday it was a sloppy mess, the dark green stuck to the skin. I'll try again today and let you know how it goes. Thanks again man!
Frozen once and let it stand for 5 minutes
The skin comes off easily
