Oral use - Cactus Ball method -advice please

[billyrubin]

looking for some input on the dough ball method of ingesting cactus as mentioned on these boards.
This involves wetting ground dried cactus and rolling it into balls to swallow.

Would love to hear peoples opinions on this method.
Would 50g's of cactus be too tough on the digestive system to ingest by this method?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
From experience if you try to ingest 50 grams of cactus material in any form, you will have a tough time. It is one of the most disgusting and foulest tastes I have ever encountered and seems to crawl out of your throat despite your best efforts to keep it down. I've tried to eat the cactus fruit, dried powder, capsuls, and jello and each method is horrible. I would not suggest doing it any other way than extracting it.

I think you may be referring to the Cactus Ball method once you have performed an alcohol extraction. After an extract has been performed (search for how to extract) it will leave a greenish brown sticky tar like substance than should be collected in a pyrex pan. After all the alcohol has evaporated out take a razor blade or something and scrape all of the tar up together, but upon doing so you will notice how sticky it is. To fix that, take a little bit of flour between your fingers and roll the tar and flour together into a ball. It will result in a bunch of soft brown balls that can be ingested like pills depending on how large you make them.

Hope this helps.
