Need dosage advice on these cacti

I've decided it's time to go on a mental journey, and went out to pick a couple of my cacti today. I've never eaten Pedro or Peruvian Torch before so I am not sure how much of these I should eat.
I know 12-18 inches is a really common dose, but how wide are those cacti? Mine total to around 32 inches but they are a bit skinny. I assume these are average or slightly high in potency, as they have been stressed somewhat with long periods of time with low light and somewhat infrequent watering.
So what do you think? Should I eat it all?
On a somewhat unrelated note, the little one on the right has been that exact same size for over a year. It fluctuates in width but hasn't had upward growth since I bought it. And it's always been a pale yellowish color. Weird!

I would say that you should take both of them as they do not look very thick at all.
YOu can find many simple extraction/ tea teks if u look around

Yes I did, I have about 10 Peruvian Torches and a few San Pedros growing in pots. Glad you like them
You can take it in any way you want, really. You can eat it plain and fresh, in tea form, in powdered form. You can dry one out, grind it, and put it all in capsules which would allow one to avoid the extremely bitter taste. You can easily extract the mescaline from the cactus with an acid/base extraction using Toluene, Xylene, and NaOH.

The oIt is hard to tell without extracting the mescaline alkaloids. Color doesn't matter, some just have more in them.
It would be perfectly fine to take both, that's what I would do.

Have fun with the tea, that is a rough taste something I dont know if I could do again.
I would have turned it all into mescaline sulfate or some other powdered chemical that way you could have much more "control" over your dosage
My first and only Pedro Tea experiment went fairly well other than the nausea presented by the tea. But the experience itself was quite gentle and lovely

You should take a cutting off the top and re-root them! At least with the taller one.

Yes, but only because they are a little low on water.

100% positive on them being Trichs, haha. I can see how one would think they are cereus peruvianus in the pics.
By the way, the total weight came out to 2 lbs, which should be a perfect dose! Cooking up the tea right now.
