Recently, AFOAF has been investigating the combination of MAOI and a mescaline containing cactus. The idea was to decrease the amount of powdered cactus consumed (The gas and bloating are uncomfortable) and maintain effects. And so the experiment....San Pedro was prepared from fresh cuttings, despined, peeled, subjected to 2 freeze/thaw cycles, and processed in a blender until smooth foam was obtained. Cactus foam was then dried in trays using fans and then powdered.

Reference run:
Plain cactus: 36gm dried powdered San Pedro
BP 144/84 after 3 hours, slightly before peak effect
Dose was enough for mood elevation, color enhancement, and minor visual distortions. Musical enhancement.

Trial Run:
Cactus + Syrian Rue brew:
Syrian Rue prep 10GM soaked in lime juice x24h then squeezed out and enough final volume was measured to give 1.5gm dose.
San Pedro: 9GM of the same dried powdered San Pedro was consumed 1/2 hour after the 1.5gm Rue brew.
BP was measured at same time point and was 156/92.
There was marked activity from the 9gm dose, about equal to a 20gm dose without rue.

Conclusions: It works for sure but there was a slight increase in BP (I do have to say though that they were just 1 time readings and there can be variance within two readings right after each other). I would say it about doubles the effect at 1.5gm.

Further trials will be done
