I bought 240 G of dried green flesh sanpedro powder from a sell with good feedback and what I have received I am concerned may not be san pedro powder at all.
(1)I have tried to do an extraction using 99% ISO and instead of the ISO turning black it turns light green but has an appearance of black when not examined in the light.
(2)I removed some of the ISO to evap and what I got is not dry but greenish and not completely dry but seems oily.
(3) The powder is brown not green like other powder I have seen on ebay it has a sort of bitter alkaloid taste though but might just be maca powder as this is how the seller said they would label it.
(4) It was sent to customs and checked for drugs as there is a cut mark that was stickytaped over and paper work on the package telling me it has gone through customs. __________________________________________
I have added more powder to the jar with ISO and will continue letting it sit when I evap it eventually what should I see???? -----

uh.....I wouldn't trust it.
Ask seller for refund or replacement. Customs could have fucked with it.
I am paranoid though...it's probably fine

I just had some powdered San Pedro, and it also tasted very bittery/alkaline. That was a very specific taste I noted in my report of my experience as it actually stood out. I was expecting something bitter like an old fruit cake or some old candied fruit. My powder was also brownish green, but definately more brown. I did see some other powders online that were VERY green, but I am 100% certain it is cactus because I also got the dried flesh chips (from same vendor) and grounded it up, looked just like the powder. I certainly tripped, and it sounded a lot like other's San Pedro's experience.
Also reading other's experience with iso pulls on the cactus, the yield is a nasty gooey blackish green tar substance, so nothing out of the ordinary here.

I too got ripped off..
If it looks yellow, it's the outer casing of the plant (or so says my friend) and the GREEN stuff is the good stuff, san pedro powder wise.
Had 50 grams of the yellow stuff, hardly a trip at all.
Had 20 grams of the green stuff and tripped more than that time.

Many things appear black in the absence of light.

The ISO stuff is garbage anyways, it's like disgusting black chewy sticky tar. Putrid stuff

I hadn't explained myself well. What I mean is that it appears a dark black color but when I hold it up to the light it is infact a green color but since my OP I have added more powder and the ISO is now a fully black colour even while held up to the light..Quote:

I already got a full refund because it took months for the package to arrive and I thought I was scammed as I hadn't received but then it finally arrived.
Customs only tested the package for drugs I believe as they would have made me pay for it to be radiated I think.
It was half a pound of brown powder in a package from south American country no wonder they checked.
Would this mean despite the legality of importing a scheduled drug mescaline, it may be safe to import into Australia because the standard customs test for drugs doesn't detect it????
I also imported ACRB safey from Hawaii but without a customs check so I think it must be safe to import as there are Australians reselling thai ACRB within Australia.
