@julian100614, Nice to see some other growers here with a broad interest in entheogenic plants. 😀
The mushrooms I'm growing currently are also of the mckennaii variety. I know about the temperature sensitivity, which is why I added the mushrooms to my omelette at the very end, baking them just for a few seconds to make them stick in the eggs. I experienced no nausea at all, while the effects came on gently but firmly.
I am also growing peyote and huachuma (san pedro), but those babies will still take many years before they are ready for harvesting. Fortunately, I still have a decent amount of powdered dried huachuma. However, similar to mushrooms, they are not very enjoyable to ingest, or even easy to consume at the quantities required for full effects without possibly causing some nausea. So I think I will try to make an extraction using d-limonene on part of my cactus powder stockpile.
Personally, I found brewing decent quality ayahuasca is more difficult than it might seem. The results of my first few efforts were of a relatively low potency, but in some cases did have relatively strong purgative effects. My poor brewing skills often made it difficult to accurately predict the potency of a particular brew based on the quantity of ingredients used, even while I was using top quality ingredients (which I had personally acquired in the Peruvian Amazon). Nowadays I prefer to start out using resin or an extract instead of the ayahuasca vine, which saves a lot of work and is effectively just about the same cost as starting from scratch. I have found that making ayahuasca analogs is typically a bit easier in this respect, and also cheaper, especially with jurema preta and syrian rue seeds. Although the effects are definitely not exactly the same as with the ayahuasca vine and chacruna / chaliponga leaves, for me they are much less likely to cause a heavy body load or any purgative effects. Extracting harmala alkalaoids is most fun under a UV light by the way, since they are fluorescent. 😎 Wear gloves!
I had an extract from BHWR seeds made by a third party a few months ago. I did not feel much, probably because the dose was too small (I do not remember the exact amount). That's the best way to stay safe of course, build up dosage slowly.
