PC Pedro Tea

Does anybody have any experiences of success with PC Pedro tea? Is dosage advice (by length) allowed in threads? And before the Bridgesii bandwagon begins, I am aware that it has a greater track record for such endeavors. I am asking about PC simply out of curiosity.

If you tighten the string too much it will snap and if you leave it too slack, it won't play.

Thank you for supplying the links! The resolution of the photos in your signature are pretty astonishing. What type of camera did you use?

Oh thanks.
I use a 7 years old Nikon D5000 body with a nikkor af-s 35mm f/1.8 lens.
Resolution doesn't mean a thing, the size of the sensor is what makes the difference. A small sensor built into a smartphone will never provide as much detail as a big complementary metal oxide semiconductor -sensor of modern DSLRs. There's a reason why good cameras are big and heavy. The bigger the sensor / photographic plate / film, the better the quality of the negative, and so the better the final picture.

I have....though I've also had quite a bit of failure/weak batches of brew from PC as well. Seems to be hit & miss when it comes to thee ol' so called "PC". I feel that the age of the cactus, or the age of the mother that the cutting came from, might have something to do with how high the alkaloid content will be.
This cutting of "PC" on the left in the pic below was around 10 to 12 inches, give or take, and had a bit more diameter/girth to it than most PC I've seen (The mother plant that these came off of was old and had ENORMOUS fat main columns)...and that cutting there on the left gave me a full on experience, easily on par with one really good hit of LSD (125mcg give or take). Felt the first signs within 20 to 30 minutes after drinking it down, between 30 minutes to an hour I was starting to trip, around 60 to 90 minutes I started to get nauseated and purged real good (Only time I've ever puked from cactus). After I puked I felt awe-mazing and was tripping all sorts of proper, and I was pleasantly caught off guard as I was not at all expecting a full on trip/experience, at least not as rich of a trip as it turned out to be . I also brewed that up into a tea very quickly, IIRC it was around 3 1/2 hours from the point that I started to cut up the cactus into slices to the point that the finished tea was in a cup cooling to be drank.

Another time I took around a foot worth of cactus tar, made from a cutting that I got from the same mother as those cuttings in the pic above...and it too gave me a full on trip.
Another time I consumed 4 inches worth of cactus tar during a day of backpacking/hiking, from that same batch, and even that mere 4 inches gave me a mild but pronounced long lasting trip...nice smooth energy, mild euphoria, empathy/compassion similar to mdma, colors saturated/glow.
But like I & others have mentioned, I've also had quite a few times where the tea or tar that I made from "PC" just didn't do a whole lot of anything .....Most of my best full on cactus experiences have been from cuttings that I've got from that same old mother "PC", so I'm assuming age has something to do with the potency or that mother cactus I'm speaking of just looks a lot like the PC but actually has some other genetics in it.
As for dosage, that is allowed in TPE forum....My 2 cents on the matter...I say brew up at least 2 feet if one is working with the PC from a particular source/mother cactus for the first time. Drink about 1/2 and wait & feel it out, after an hour or so you should definitely have an idea of how potent the brew is and can drink more if you feel like it, or save it in the freezer, or toss it if it's really weak and not worth drinking more.
