i have acsess to a food dehydrater and ive read online that i can dehydrate the catcus and make a kind of jerky out of it and either grid it up after that and make tea or eat it liek jerky. This is gunna be my first trip on san pedro and i want to know whats the best way to go about preparing and dehydrating the cacti and how much will be enough to get me going? i live in central texas so i can jsut go out and cut some down. thx J
Ew, most people aim to get the cactus down the hatch as quickly as possible, so they dont have to put up with the awful taste. Just grind the dried cactus down into small pieces or powder and wash it down with some orange juice.
so if i dry it out and make it into granuels i can make tea out of it or jsut down it with a drink? how much would i need to take gram wise and how much cactus would i prolly need?
from what ive read cactus is usually about 90-95 % water and you would normally try maybe 20-30g for your first time so try about 300g of plant, will depend on the strength of your cactus though
Measure 12-24 inches of a cactus for one dose. Potency varys wildly, most people consider 12-15 inches as an average dose. I didnt know San pedro grows wildly in Texas- are you sure about this, San pedro is from the northern andes- in Peru, in south America.
i read somewhere(cant find the url) that i can find it can be found all the way up to northern texas in the dryer regions.wether this is true or not dosnt really matter we have plenty of nurseies that i can go get them from. thx for the help and ill look foward to tellin how the trip goes peace J
First, remember that the part you want is the dark green flesh immediately underneath the waxy skin. If you were to put straight powdered cactus into water, you will get snot. Nothing you want to drink. If you boil it for 2 hours, it will break down the gel-like thickness.
