Looking around, i don't see much info regarding Mescaline. I'll provide some basic info on the active species, the "Green Bean Juice" method of Tea preparation, then my method of extracting Mescaline from either dry powdered cacti flesh, or living active cacti. I'll also throw in an extraction tip that kept me from a manufacturing charge over a decade ago.
I'll not delve into cultivation, there are other forums and sites with plenty of info on growing them and getting them into their dormant cycle over the winter. (I've heard that's when they produce the Mescaline, when they go dormant overwinter. I don't have any sources though.)
Mescaline HCL "Dirty Sanchez" is my all time favorite hallucinogen. I ordered 15+ kilos from Peru around 2005 and figured out by reading guides by other entheogen OMC Forum Members (ME! RiP) the way that was most efficient for me.
I have straight up abused this substance, It's the smoothest trip to me. The only Psychedelic I've ever fallen asleep during the come up is Mescaline, (eat the dose then kick back listening to a Grateful Dead show on headphones, wake up 8 hours later) I did that 3 different times. it's that smooth for me. At the tail end around 18 hours after a heavy 300ugLSD+300mgMescHCL combo for a TOOL show at Bonnaroo 2007. I took 500mg of MescHCL around every 6 hours for a total of around 2000mg in around 24hrs, (can't be certain, trippin balls, ya see?) That was just to keep on partying for all the shows and was not on a "fresh head full of serotonin".. Mescaline and LSD is my favorite combo trip, they compliment each other so well. like PB + J baby.
I like my trips heavy, but..
****--> DO NOT TAKE A HUGE DOSE of **ANYTHING** FOR THE FIRST TIME <--****
***FIRST DOSE IS THE ALLERGY TEST DOSE*** like around 10mg, just to see if you're allergic or sensitive to it (ExGF was allergic, got a rash all over)
**24+ HOURS AFTER THE ALLERGY TEST DOSE - Recommended Starting Dosage** is about 250-300mg for a lean 140lb-160lb person. Maybe 300-350mg for 200lbs. as always, start low and in "the shallow end" the first time then wade out deeper as you get to know it over a few different experiences
*Set and Setting is more important that dosage* (mindSET - how ya feel about yourself,your life, your outlook, the ethical and moral path you're choosing in life)(**SETTING** - your physical location and surroundings. The people your with and what you're doing) For example, don't eat a dose if ya gotta watch your kids or be at work in 18 hours, Don't eat a dose around a bunch of folks you don't really like or trust or folks that have shitty attitudes. Don't eat a dose if you're anxious or nervous about tripping or if you don't 100% want to trip. I've seen a sliver of doubt snowball into a full blown bad trip for a person with lots of trippin hours logged. When it comes to entheogens and psychedelic experiences I've found it's the most fun and enjoyable if you're 100% all about it and completely engaged in the experience. (in there like swim wear)
**I always liked to keep a "Risperdal" (anti-psychotic med pill i got from a buddy)on hand when doing,guiding,around hallucinogens. I've had a couple not so fun ones and one with a buddy when his father died in the other room. Usually knocked the visuals out and made the mental side "smaller and slower" for me. Pretty much stopped the L trip for my friend when his dad died. I've seen a half a Risperdal turn a crusty wild eyed wook, whos having a freakout at a show about to get bounced and/or arrested, 180 degrees into a laughing friendly stranger enjoying a RatDog show who had some great stories who eventually became a "show buddy" of mine. I'm only saying that a Risperdal antipsychotic pill personally flatlined a trip for me when i wanted or needed to be kinda sober.
Ok. Enough with the warnings and tales i feel need to be included.

Active Species and Proven Clones of Cacti**
One great thing about cacti is that they are super easy to clone or make a "cutting". Basically just make ya cut where ya want. You'll have a rooted cacti from the pot up to the cut, then the cutting which is the cut to the growth tip. To root the cutting, wrap the cutting in newspaper in a dry dark spot for a few weeks until the cut is scabbed over then set the cutting scab side down in a new pot with the well draining soil mix, what ya want to do is set the calloused cut on a thin layer of perlite between the cut and the soil with the soil just pushed up enough to hold it no more than 1/8 inch, place in low light with zero water and the cacti will start throwing roots after a week or so, after roots are visible, you can push the soil up over the callous enough to hold it with a very light watering. The cutting will seem to pull itself upright where it wants to be, just push the soil up and around maybe 1/4inch.
The potted cut without a growth tip will callous over, i just set it in low light in the shade and zero water for a couple weeks. keep moisture off the cut. after it callouses over, eventually it will throw a "pup" which is a clone of the original.
Cacti growing is tricky at first but once you figure out the water cycle and get them acclimated to your climate, well, if you neglect a cactus enough to kill it after its established, then you have the opposite of a green thumb. Its tough to neglect a cacti enough to kill it. Watering more than once every 1 or 2 weeks is no good, you want a quick draining soil mix and water it enough to dampen the soil maybe once a week. Now that mine are established i just leave them in full sun open sky. if it rains longer than a day I'll pull the cover in place after a day of rain until it quits.
Ok, My favorite type of cacti it a "trichocerus bridgesii monstrosus clumping variety" aka "The penis plant"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RukUwC1zEEoThey just grow little pups over and over that don't get bigger than your fist each. I was gifted once in 2005 and it's multiplied to over 15 separate potted clones with over 50 pup clones total. This type of cacti is said to be more potent in Mescaline than Peyote. I've never done peyote since they are endangered and my climate is too humid to grow them and ya need about 100years of peyote growth for enough to have an experience. All i know, a 3 year old TBM pup made into a tea was almost too much... almost. I just like watching them grow, I haven't consumed any of my active cacti since that TBM pup back in 2009. I like the looks of my cacti collection and all them pups.. The potential of it all is what i dig the most.
The most well known are
Trichocereus pachanoi - "San Pedro"
Trichocereus peruvianus - "Peruvian Torch"
Trichocereus terscheckii - "Cardon Grande"
Trichocereus bridgesii
https://erowid.org/plants/cacti/cacti.shtmlI've consumed a Peruvian, may a foot in length and 4 inch diameter was enough for 3 people in tea, and the TBM. Those are the only live specimens I've killed. everything else mescaline wise was from my extraction...
PM me for info on cultivation forums and info for those interested in growing and having "enough cacti to potentially light up a few city blocks"

****Preparing A Tea from either from a live cutting or dried or powdered flesh.****
having info on the strength of the specimen either live or dried is helpful, but I've found that when it comes to drinking that earthy grog, my body always let me know I've had enough. Once by feeling "full" in my stomach, another when i started rapidly coming up after drinking nearly half. A little sugar and honey mixed in smoths the taste to close to enjoyable. "Green Bean Juice" we always called it..
Live doner cacti, at least a foot as much as 3 feet for a narrow 1-2in diameter cacti, less for thicker.. at least a foot in length.
Dried Flesh powdered or in strips. the equivalent of a cup at least. I've always witnessed large batches made and the participants just drank as much as needed to take them as far as they wanted to go.
All ya do is add the powdered flesh or dried flesh to a pot of water, bring to boil, lower to soft simmer and add either lemon juice or juice from fresh lemons. you're wanting the mix acidic to break the Mescaline free from the plant matter.
low simmer adding water when needed for at least 3 hours. I've seen them go for 12+ hours with the Rainbow Tribe, that was a big batch for a big gathering. 20+ people.
With a live donor cactus, you can pull the "Areolas" (spines) off the cacti with pliers pretty easy then slice like a cucumber then dice into smaller bits and add to the pot. A Immersion Blender makes removing the spines un necessary as it will macerate everything after its been sliced into section then diced smaller.
When it's cooked long enough, grab an old t-shirt and strain the liquid though the shirt, straining all liquids from the plant matter as possible.. sweeten and flavor to taste or drink it plain if you wanna be a trooper.. It's best for me kinda warm with sugar and honey and maybe a touch of grapefruit juice so the "twang" smooths out the flavor of it all. Green Bean Juice... you'll see
Super technical procedure right?
Basically, Make more than needed and share with your people/family/tribe. Tea preparations are best with a group of close friends, family, and connected spirits. You will come to see how and why Peyote and Mescaline has been either a sacrament or a full blown religion to various Natives from the North American South West to Peru to everywhere and back as far as there has been human memory, all over central america and wherever they grew naturally, the indigenous locals incorporated the mescaline experience into their Religion/Nature Worship/Community Bonding/ and Rituals.
Drinking the Tea has a more spiritual spin which extracted Mescaline doesn't have. All alkaloids from the cacti will change you as you consume the living energy and incorporate it all into what defines *You* in "The Big Here and Now".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**Here i ramble on about reality, trips, and get strange since im pretty buzzed and off the rails.
I may read too much into the Cacti Tea experience/ritual experience, There is a definite Timeless, Boundless, Inter-and-Multi-Dimensional spiritual Energy in the Tea, While Mescaline itself feels Ancient, Intelligent and has a way Teaching you a thing about yourself, your function in everything, and how your outlook can literally create/modify/shift/deconstruct every little bit of everything that makes up everything you will ever experience..
The countless trips on the "Classic Hallucinogenics" like LSD/DMT/Psylocibin/Mescline/Ayahuasca/ over 20+ years from age 12 to now at 36 has literally changed the way i perceive and interpret all the energy and information that washes over my senses and affects my little spark at the core of my being. Definitely distorted my thought process, but hey.. that was the reason i began so many years ago.. working to become a Quantum Integrated, Chemically Mechanized, Psycho-Informational and Hyper-dimensionally assimilated and extensively abstract cognition compiler and unified Energy/Matter processing and manipulative furnace. Burning my light Brightly and Working to leave every situation and scenario I come across in a better state than i found it..
I broke the locks and hinges off the "Doors of Perception" in my mind.. It's always open for me, and i go inward and outward simultaneously when i let my mind roam and fly free. how everything comes from me first then out. Each of us is the center of and ultimately in control of our own Universe. My perception is all that will ever be real to me. I'm not even getting into how everyone seems to be sharing a single "Soul", seems like we are experiencing different facets of the same destructo-creavtive re-arranging force through each other. Were all connected by our inner mental space.
I'm a uniquely chemically altered being. The stuff I've experienced and Info/Energy I've discovered during my trips has definitely driven lesser folks pants on head fookin crazy and corrupt man. lol
I'm a spuntard'd loon folks, i get "Free TripFlashTravel Tickets" when I drink Alcohol. I'll write and post the Mescaline a/b Extraction after i sober up and anchor my thoughts down, i'm all over the place right now..
Cacti Tea feels like a transferrance of spiritual energy from the cacti working to help make a better, smarter, stronger, improved, and upgraded version of Yourself as you incorporate the lifeforce on the plant into your chemical composition. Mescaline is like an Ancient Teacher working to enlighten your mind and Provide a Mentoring Force to enlighten, clarify, simplify then will Teach yourself things about yourself and your experience that can make life a little smoother and easier to process.. it focused on teaching me the power of my perception personally. how It al starts with the initial mental force,outwardly reaching while either positively, negatively, or neutrally charged can change our outlook from our perspective and how that will then condense then manifest into our reality with a Positive, Negative or Null inflection for ourselves to experience... makes sense to me, helps me manage and keep from going supernova from information, stress and energy overload.
