Experiences - Seemingly large "alcohol tek" extracted alkaloid intake, 0% response from SWIM

[Redemption]

SWIM made a purchase of 120g of T. Peruvianus recently from a source that he has used before. He ground this up, and carried out the alcohol extraction tek that is stickied on the forum.

He used 99% isopropyl alcohol. He shook the jar several times a day for three days, and carried out two extractions (the second extraction bore such small fruit, SWIM thought three times overkill).

The solution was filtered through coffee paper, and allowed to dry by air. A day later, SWIM, using a razor blade, collected up the black gunk and placed it on a number of pieces of paper. He then took these pieces of paper, folded them, and stuck the in a tupperware box for storage.

Five days later, he and a friend shared the pieces of paper. They tasted like the cactus had the first time, but so much sharper and more bitter. SWIM tried 35g before orally, and this time for the larger dose decided he wasn't eating 60g of the cactus if someone paid him large amounts of money.

SWIM HAD eaten a reasonable meal before this, accepted. And had one small drink (a glass of wine with the meal).

Absolutely nothing to report. When SWIM tried the 35g orally, he experienced a mild to solid trip that lasted upwards of four hours at focus, but still gave tingles for up to twelve hours. But swim experienced nothing. No nausea, no visual clues, no aural cues, no exaggeration of reality. SWIM was in a perfect situation, with his friends around a fire he had built on the beach shore, wrapped up warm with lots of nice people.

He had a lovely night as his last in the country, but the black gunk did, if SWIM is honest, JACK SHIT.

well swim is sorry that this was the case for swiy, Swim did not just post it to try and make people 'waste' their sacred plants...

This tek was taken from reading other teks of the same likeness and then putting them together from his own experiences.

Here are posts from other forums discussing the alcohol tek:

4 days later and a fifth gone, emptied alcohol into glass pan, and put a fan on it.

2 days later scraped up 13 grams of jet black goo....

Good for 2 he is guessing?????

It is a very hard ball of black resin, so it will be cut into pieces and downed straight...

Most of the good stuff lies in the dark green outer flesh. dry only the outer flesh and skin in the oven at 250 until a thumbnail can easily scrape all the green tissue off of the skin. then put the dark green tissue back in the oven until it is very dry (enough to grind and capsule). This will cut down on the amount of gelcaps you have to consume. with this method sometimes 10 gelcaps can do a nice job. i could not see eating all that extra material with low alkaloid content.
not to waste anything, the inner flesh (lighter green, and skins with some clinging leftover material, can be added to the next alcohol extraction.
even better take the extract goo and put it in the same caps as the dried skins, it will be potent for sure.

T+3-4 hours and slight change in perception is felt.

T+7hrs and a ++ level is reached. I can tell I took something. I can feel some of the effects, ie very intense colors, kool-aid grin, total sense of satisfaction.
I then went out with some friends to an outdoor cantina. While they enjoyed the brew, I enjoyed the wind, clouds, passing cars, the chatter of dozens of people. Very nice time.

I would say that if I had been near my house and was able to take the other 1/3 it would have been a full +++. As it was I noticed no OEV or CEV, but some distortions. Tracers from lights, cars and people walking by. Mouths not sincing with voices. And an over all feeling something like rolling.

But since my starting material was powdered before I recieved it. And I have no idea what company if any it came from, since it was given on a trade. Then I cannot say for sure the purity of my starting product, nor the efficiency of the TEK.

NO mollies of any value.

All is contained in the skin only.

ISO is awesome
Everclear is great.

Been makig cactus juice extract for over 15 years.
I posted about this over 5 years ago.
Stopped when ASSHOLE NAN stole all my images recipes and data with no credit back in the day.

I was pleasantly surprised! I put the liquid tar (hadn't quite hardened
yet) into 40 tiny gelcaps (250mg ones that i emptied out) and let it what wouldn't fit sit overnight. I put the gelcaps in the freezer and ate 30 of the gelcaps the next day at 9 a.m. I went to bed (I am in the military in south korea and had staff duty, the day before I woke up at 430 am, and stayed awake on guard until 8 am the next day, got a couple of hours of shitty sleep in between) and then woke up at 11. I looked up at the walls and they were shifting, patterns were really moving. I had a surge of energy. Felt like MDMA as they say, or a few percocets, euphoria comes in 5-20 second waves, really enjoyable. I then spent the rest of the day enjoying myself with my wife, we watch movies, listened to led zep, phish, and the grateful dead. I wasn't hallucinating, in a sense, but the enjoying a light visual trip. I hear mesc isn't as visual as lsd or shrooms, but it can be at higher dosages. I would really like to experience a higher dosage. I then 10 more gelcaps at about T + 3:00. I also scraped about 10-15 Pinky-Fingernail sized balls of tar/resin up and coated them in chocolate and ate them. Went down well, taste of catus was non existant. I noticed a slight increase of effects, or maybe it just prolonged them, about 2 hours later. By the time it was dark, 8 p.m., visuals were non existant and body high was not as intense--still there, just not as much and fading. I started drinking a little bit after I was done tripping and called it a night.

All in all, not bad. Pretty expensive though, $50 for 500g of torch powder, $40 in two bottles of 151. Got one decent trip out of it and have about 200g left. I want to ingest all 200gs to see where that would take me. Maybe this is weak powder, or I am doing something wrong. I wish I could do an A/B extraction but I can't get all of the chemicals needed, we only have a grocery store and px here (like a shitty shitty kmart). Perhaps somebody could give me some tips.

again swim is sorry that it wasn't the right batch for swiy but he would have never posted it if it didnt work.
