San Pedro: how much?

burma1 · Jul 29, 2008

1.
I was given a very thick piece of San Pedro. I'll weigh it tomorrow, but I'm guessing at least 5 pounds. I know people usually think in terms of inches, but that seems more imprecise than weight ... I'm guessing 5# would be a stout trip for 2 people. Can anyone tell me?

2.
I posted the following a couple of days ago and one person gave a good guess, but he is also relatively new at San Pedro.

Has anyone done this or does anyone have an opinion about how it might work?

Boil fresh San Pedro (skinned & cored) slices for 3-4 hours with some lemon juice.

Squeeze the mush and get all the liquid out through a strainer.

Put the liquid in trays in my Nesco dehydrator and dehydrate at 125 for 6-10 hours. The Nesco uses heat and a small fan to dehydrate.

What would the outcome be do you think? Thanks

ok, so ill tell u a bot how i use it and hope ull learn something =D,
i use usually 8-10 inches of san pedro, i slice the skin nicely and dry it by sun.
when it gets dry, (i mean chrunchy dry, when it powers easy) i cut the pieces to tiny pieces (to speed the process) into a plastic bowl and i use a fat piece of wood to smash it all in the bowl.
and once in a while, i pour it all into a colander(one with tiny holes, not like regular onces, so u will get powder) and collect the powder that comes out of it, pour the pieces back into the bowl to be smashed again. u should end up with just pieces of clear skin that contain nothing on them, and u can get rid of it (in the s.p dry cuttings, u can separate the green stuff from the skin, and the green stuff is what u want, and its is the powder. and there should be no pieces of skin in the powder because it makes it a bigger amount and it will be less pure. i mean: to fell it strongly, u will take 6 spoons of powder with no skin, and 10 spoons with skin. and trust me u want the 6 spoons because it taste nasty as fuck!) while u end up with only powder, u make your own math of how much u should use, and take many spoons u think u need, and pour it into a cup, and fill it up with water , and mix it and while u stop mixing, u chug the whole thing at once!
try to get all the powder from the cup, u might need to refill it with water and drink it again, if u look in the cup, the powder kinda expends, and on the bottom, there is a while sand like powder which wont do anything, and it doesnt matter if u drink it or not.
the effect should kick in in like 2 hours or less.

my amount of powder that i take is based on good and healthy my peace of s.p i had sliced looked and how big it was, if i made powder from cuttings from a 6 inch cact, i will take the whole powder, u know what i mean....
and u never know how much mescaline your piece of cact contains,
so i suggest that u should go on the biggest piece the cact and cut it all and make a shit load of powder from like 20 inch and use how much u need upon time....
but when u buy, or order pieces, its all different... (the amounts... u can never be sure..) i got a life supply.. lol

and thats my way of using s.p

hope i helped ya

Thanks severely. However, the quote is about inches, not weight. Since some 12" pieces will be 3" in diameter and some 5", there just is no way to judge or compare the two. So my question was/is, does anyone have any data based on weight?

There is so much vague and conflicting information here. For example, in one place ancient powers says use the the skin, while others say the skin should be discarded. Is there any definitive post on San Pedro on this forum?

Thanks, b1

8 oz (226 gms) whole, unpeeled, fresh cactus == 270 mg mescaline
12 oz (340 gms) whole, unpeeled, fresh cactus == 400 mg mescaline

2-2.5" dia fresh unpeeled ~= 1.5 oz/in
3.5-4" dia fresh unpeeled ~= 3.5 oz/in

16 oz. fresh cactus ~= 3 oz. fibrous pith
+ 6 oz. white tissue
+ 6 oz. green tissue
+ 1 oz. skin and spines.
12 oz. fresh cactus == 1 oz. dried (+ 7/8 oz. peel).
1 oz. dried cactus == 2 slightly heaping Tbs cactus granules
4 oz. fresh cactus == 5/8 C chopped.

EXCELENTE! Thank you Peace & Rasta. Exactly what I needed - which is a pretty nice thing, you know, to get what you need.

About 33mg/ounce, so 14-16 ounces should be righteous.

Any thoughts on this idea: Boil fresh San Pedro (skinned & cored) slices for 3-4 hours with some lemon juice. Squeeze the mush and get all the liquid out through a strainer. Put the liquid in trays in my Nesco dehydrator and dehydrate at 125 for 6-10 hours. The Nesco uses heat and a small fan to dehydrate.
