Edit: Questions if you can answer.

1) Could I just blend the cactus up, drink that whole drink, and have the effect

or

2) Do I need to use an acid (such as the lemon juice) and could I just add the lemon juice to the blended drink, then heat to release the alkaloids, then drink (without boiling for a few hours, and removing the pulp)

The Point of boiling for a few hours is not really to release alkaloids , it's to reduce the volume of the drink . If you were to try and drink it without reducing its volume... you would have a hard time getting all of that shit down . The lemon juice just helps release some of the alkaloids from the cactus , but you definatly still want to reduce it .... Try to imagine drinking like a half-gallon of the most bitter, nasty sludge that you've ever had in your life , that's why reducing and filtering with a cloth are so important .

P.S. I would just follow this dudes instructions , this is one of the easiest methods that I have seen... and it definatly worked for me , well worth it .

Yeah you need to boil it after you blend it. Like the other guy said, you dont want to drink that shit, its foamy and extremely fiberourus. itd be like orange juice with extra pulp. It it tastes awful. There is no exaggerating how terrible this shit taste.

Just follow the tek and you'll be well on your way
