Used a 5 inch mid cut of FAT non-pc pachanoi and 6 inch mid cut of bridgesii. These were high quality cuttings from good sized plants.

Cut into thin slices approximately 1/8 inch thick. Simmered in a large pot of water with half a lime for 12 hours. It yielded 1 and 1/2 cups of tea.

Drank the warm tea at 6:45pm. Sat outside until 2:00am enjoying this cactus experience next to a warm fire. The experience was supplemented by some nice cannabis and a couple of small cigars.

The come up lasted for 2 hours until the positive effects of the cactus started to kick in. Felt cold and heavy during the second hour of the come up. There was some nausea but I did not vomit.

By 2 hours in the more challenging effects of the come up began to dissipate and the euphoria of the cactus set in.

Spent the rest of the night next to the fire riding waves of euphoria and a sense of extreme mental clarity. The clarity cut right through any cannabis haze that would otherwise have been present. Felt very open and honest with myself. Could reflect on many things in my life and gained a sense of confidence that even in spite of some challenges in life right now that I am on a good course and making good progress with life's goals.

Had some visuals and visionary moments, but not to a great extent. All senses were in a heightened state. It felt like a moderately strong, healing sort of experience. It was wonderful.

At 2:00am went inside and was able to sleep. Woke up the next day feeling terrific, full of energy, and very focused.

From my experience the Pachanoi lends a euphoria and healing quality to the experience. The bridgesii adds power and intensity. The combination used for this tea was just right. These plants are very special.
