It sucks for me to have to say this.
You mentioned that it had more arms than you cared to count......
San pedro is a colomnar cacti. It typically does not grow "many many" arms unless it has been cut many times. Many large flowers yes, but typically no arms. There are lots of 8-10 foot tall pedros out there. Almost all of them have zero arms.
When I saw the picture it didnt look right to me, but right enough. When I heard you say it has many arms, I sadly have to say its very likely that its not san pedro.
So unless the trunk has been cut, it should still only grow a few arms if any(maybe none, as a rule). If the trunk has never been cut, Its not san pedro.
sorry........ I do hope im wrong for your sake. You seem to have your hopes up.

i think it might be pervian torch, but unlikely any mescaline bearing cactus.

It certainly is not peruvian torch, and that would contain mescaline anyways. The color and spines say it all when it comes to peruvian torch.(which provides a hell of a trip)
PT is also a columnar cacti.
It sucks for him that its not a mescaline cacti.
Hope he didnt "trade" some of his cuttings just yet.

yeah the main cacti has been cut a lot and the arms all come from where it has been cut in the past.
i am 100% sure its pedro because it looks very very similar if not the same as this 
and this cacti is also very very well established and i guess its been there atleast 15-20 years maybe more and im sure there have been many pups that have come up from the base over the years.

If the so called "many arms" come from the base(or root system) you might have the pedro.
Most pedros do tend to grow in clumps if they happen to grow close together.
You would know, if you know how pedro grows. If you do know enough about it, then good luck with your trip!

That I dont know.
Thats pretty great that you found some. After talking to you, it seems like that is pedro. And if it is, its one very healthy(beyond what I have seen personally). To the point where your cutting almost looks like a different cacti. SOme large super healthy-cuttings do look that green and unscarred. The innerds of your cacti look very green. The spines most certainly look like pedro, as does the shape.
Thats pretty nice...........
