Hello friends, I just got a 16 inch cutting of san pedro, and a 14 inch cutting. I plan on using the 16inch cutting for myself, and the 14 inch cutting for a friend. To prepare the 16 inch, I was going to follow this guide erowid.org/plants/cacti/cacti_preparation5.shtml except, I am not despining, or removing the core like some guides suggest, and I am freezing the star cuttings, as some guides suggest. I have never done this before, or consumed mescaline before, and I am very excited that I do this correctly. Is a 16inch cutting enough to have s good trip? I heard putting vinegar in the sludge while on the stove could help? Is that advised? Also is it possible to do this without using a stove? Or is using the stove a must have? Thank you for helping me friends, I have been looking forward to this for a long time :) I'm posting this here because r/drugs didn't help me and wasn't sure where else to put it.
I love san pedro, one of my first trips. Check out this discussion about dosage on erowid: https://erowid.org/plants/cacti/cacti_dose1.shtml most people recommend 1.5-2 feet per dose, but of course the potency of the cactus varies from plant to plant. Imo your 16inch dose will be fine, if your friend is inexperienced with pyschs then 14 is fine too.
follow this guide, https://erowid.org/plants/cacti/cacti_preparation5.shtml
and btw san pedro tastes disgusting so be prepared, don't throw up or you just wasted good drugs. Have a fun trip (and yes you need a stove, and a blender too)
