Trying Mescaline For The First Time!

Found these at Home Depot right before I went backpacking in New Zealand for two months, labelled as San Pedro cacti, Trichoserus Pachanoi. I decided to check if they were still there when I got back. I'm pretty sure this is San Pedro. Please correct me if it's not so I can return them! They have five ribs on two of them, and six ribs on the two thicker ones. From what I understand that's pretty normal for San Pedro. They have spines in little groups of 4-6, set into shallow areoles in the cactus. The pores are all symmetrical. The pots also say they can flower white, which I understand is supposed to be the case with San Pedro.



Lo and behold, they were still there when I returned to the U.S! I took this as a sign that they had been waiting for me and I immediately took them home. I've tripped hundreds of times on LSD, mushrooms, LSA, DMT, 2C-B, and rolled enough on MDMA and MDA that I've had to take a break from rolling, but I've never once tried mescaline.
A few questions for you guys:
1. It might be a little while before I attempt to brew them up for my wife and I. How do I best care for them to make them grow larger? They got a lot larger and thicker in the two months since I first saw them.
2. What's the most effective extraction method for consumption? I've heard an acid-base extraction doesn't pull some of the beneficial alkaloids that you get from drinking the straight cactus brew. What do you guys like?
3. This is about 3.5-4ft. of 2-3inch thick cactus. How strong is that going to be for two people? I think I'm going to combine it with LSD so I can get a 
4. There are some dark spots on both of the cacti. Is this natural or is it indicative of an unhealthy cacti?
Thanks for your help guys.

Go to sacredcactus.com for care instructions, but basically you water them while being careful not to over water. I like all my alkaloids so I do a boil extraction.
There's no way to tell how strong it is before dosing, cactus varies in potency more than any other natural psychoactive I've taken. It can vary up to 10 times, meaning one foot of one speciman might be the equiv of 10 foot of another. Twelve inches is the standard starting dose for most people. I wouldn't combine it with LSD until doing it on its own first. Otherwise how will you get a feel more mescaline?
its natrual to have those spots, they look extremely healthy to me.

Those are SP.
Some good looking specimens too
I'd get them in a less organic better draining cacti mix though with some larger pots.
BTW an acid base extraction will pull all of the water soluble alkaloids not just the mescaline this is a common misconception.
