San Pedro Powder - Dose?

Hello fellow shroomerites..
I've just ordered 100g of dried San Pedro powder, and was wondering on what a good dose would be?
I have three cacti experiences, but each time it was my old friend (whom i have no way of contacting) who prepared it into tea.. so I guess that still qualifies me as a n00b. Anyway, as I said, I'm familiar with the effects of mescaline, but just have never prepared it myself so....
how much should I take? thanks alot guys

Check around and search the threads and see if you can find anyone who attempts to measure the difference between a whole, live cutting or section of rooted plant and its equal weight once chopped up and dried.
I would say one out of maybe 7 or 8 stories that I read about san pedro say that they need several feet of cactus to have a mind altering experience. Some say one foot.. is all you need.
Cactus is a slow growing plant that can be very diverse and inconsistent in its contents. So take this advice with a gram of salt 
If it's just you, brew all one hundred grams in to a nice tea.. Use several batches of water to pull magic contents out of the cactus and collect each batch of water in one basin. Reduce your collections into a drinkable amount of brew.
If it's two of you, do the same thing, and then split it in two
if it's three, three parts, and so on.. Maybe you won't feel anything the first time, maybe you will. Cactus is strange like that....

I've seen a thousand threads with this title but I can't seem to remember what a good answer was. Maybe something like half of it for your first try? I seem to remember something like 20-30 grams being suggested. I really don't know but I'm sure the information is out there if you search for it.
Like floating water said san pedro can be unpredictable, in that a lot of it won't really be that potent and you may not get enough. If you're a hard head and you want to trip hard maybe you should just eat it all... ** GO read don't take my advice on that one LOL You are responsible for your own actions.
Extract or something of course...You shouldn't eat a bunch of dried cactus, that will probably make you really nauseous when it all swells up in your stomach.

and keep it down
The ISO tar method is the way to go though. One pill of it is all you need.

The difficult aspect of testing cactus powder is that unless you have a very large amount of it, you waste a lot of it trying to gauge the proper dose. For instance if you have 100 grams and you test 25 grams and it doesn't work, then you only have 75 left. Next you try 50 grams and its cool, but you only have 25 grams left when you know that 75 grams will really do the trick.
I try to buy bulk live cuttings so that they are all consistent in content and I have enough cactus to test and calculate and still have plenty afterwards. Live cuttings are legal too, not like the gray area legality of dried skins. Be careful to try the cuttings before you buy in bulk though. I bought sixty feet of some shitty San Pedro that really does very little even using five thick foot long cuttings. After so many attempts, I eventually threw them in the garbage!
My advice for surefire cactus trips? Buy bridgesii. One foot is really all you need and that cactus is so damn consistent. This is going to sound weird, but my bridgesii trips and my LSD are almost indistinguishable. It's pretty awesome and I highly recommend it.
PS - I pity fools who use San Pedro.
-------------------- Don't PM me with bullshit. I don't sell or trade cactus and I don't know where you can get any, other than your mother's ass.
