cactus cuttings

[Dick Justice]

When websites sell you cactus cuttings, are they 15 years old or whatever the cutoff is? And do you just eat em, or is it better to make tea?

How much is enough for one person?

The cactuses vary in potency a huge amount. Anywhere from 1/10 as strong as peyote, to 2.4x as strong. So, it really all depends on the batch you get.

I emailed your hushmail account, Dick.

All I can tell you is bouncingbear is the real deal, fixing to order some cacti myself. Never bought cacti from them, but every thing else has been straight, I've been buying all this stuff since before most of you had hair on your nuts, BB is straight.

Dopamine injections into the cactus as it grows would increase it potency because dopamine is a biological precursor to the active component. Dopamine is a controlled substance as well however, but it is found in banana peel and is water soluble. In fact dopamine has been measured in banana peel at a value of up to 100mg dopamine/g of peel.

Save your banana peels in a big baggie in the freezer and when you got a huge bag full of frozen peel grind them up and simmer them in a huge pot with distilled water.
decoct them for a long time filter off the ground peel pulp and boil off most of the water. allow to cool and water/inject you cactus with the aqueous banana extract.

Humidity plays a role as well cactuses grown in humid environments are gennerally less potent than dry environments. Look for darker cactuses. Dark green are more potent than lighter colored cactuses.

So THAT'S where that myth came from about smoking banana peels.

Hahaha, the mysterious chemical "bananadine."

Well anyway, I think I'm gonna spring for some cuttings from bouncingbear, and I'll let everyone know how it goes.

I dident say to smoke them. Dopamine is not a hallucinogen. Its an anti-oxident.

If you care to argue my proof of the presence of dopamine in banana peel is in these published studies. There have been many more studies than just these done on banana peels as well giving back positive results for the presence of dopamine.

I think the DEA better add bananas to their list of controlled substances. It's illegal to grow marijuana what the fuck is that?
