How to extract mescaline from cacti.

Excellent documentary about the Amazonian Shamans and their use of the sacred Ayahuasca vine to communicate with the Spirits of the Forest. Includes footage of peaceful drug-prohibition protests, an interview with Terence Mckenna, criticism of the so called “war on drugs” (essentially a form of cultural genocide), the corruption within large oil companies and governments, many civil rights issues, etc.

During the making of this film: * 16 million acres of Amazon Rainforest was destroyed. * 150,000 species became extinct. * In Ecuador, 9 oil spills released millions of gallons of crude oil into the head waters of the Amazon. * Scientists worldwide agreed that Global Warming and climate change is a major threat facing all life on Earth. * Natural disasters including volcanic eruptions increased. * In the Netherlands, the case against the Santo Daime was thrown out of court. The judge found Ayahuasca use was not a risk to public health and their constitutional right to freedom of religion must be respected. * Spain, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Belguim and The Netherlands decriminalised most drugs. * The USA gave the Taliban in Afghanistan $43 million dollars for the War on Drugs. * The USA was voted off the United Nations Human Rights Commision. * Humanity stands at the crossroads

The Shaman even today is a widely unknown figure in culture. A figure that is intimately related to our very roots, to our very souls perhaps. Here is a short preview from several humans in the amazon rain forest.

Mescaline is found in many types of cacti, most prominently in peyote (lophophora williamsii), San Pedro (trichocerus pachanoi) and the Peruvian Torch (trichocerus peruvianus). The mescaline content of the various mescaline containing cacti varies greatly between individual samples as well as between species. Following is an estimate of the mescaline contents of these three species. Although there has long been a myth that Trichocerus peruvianus is “10 times” stronger than T. pachanoi, there is not much data to support this view. Many reports indicate that peruvianus may be somewhat stronger than pachanoi, but this is hotly disputed among cactus experts.
 
* Lophophora williamsii – 300 mg / 27 g dried material
* Trichocerus peruvianus – 300 mg / 15 to 100 grams dried material (.3% – 2.0%)
* Trichocerus pachanoi – 300 mg / 15 to 100 grams grams dried material (.3% – 2.0%)

178 mg mescaline HCl = 200 mg mescaline sulfate.

Jonathan Ott is a highly regarded ethnobotanist, writer, natural products Chemist, Botanical researcher, and pundit in the area of entheogens and their cultural and historical uses. Of particular note is his book Ayahuasca Analogues, in which he researched and identified numerous plants around the globe containing the harmala alkaloids of Banisteriopsis caapi, which are MAOIs, and plants containing Dimethyltryptamine, which together are the chemical base of the South American Ayahuasca brew. He collaborated with important workers like Christian Rätsch and Jochen Gartz, and appeared as a speaker at the Starwood Festival in 1996[1]. He has co-authored several key books and papers with the late ethnomycologist R. Gordon Wasson. He has many years experience field collecting in Mexico, where he lives and manages a small natural products laboratory and botanical garden of medicinal herbs. – Wikipedia
