So i have 4 bridgesii im growing outside. However they dont like my temp zone and there not doing very well

So i just want to chop and dry and powder them up with. Can some guide me to do this right or have a good guide to cutting them up to dry? Thanks

Also what part contains the mescaline the green outer skin? Thanks!

1. Chop the cacti.
2. Slice like bread.
3. Use a small knife to carve the green flesh away from the center, and cut these up into ribbed pieces and put into a plastic bag or something.
4. Dry! Whether it's in the hot sun, or in a food dehydrator. Any way you safely can. Maybe an oven on low with a fan blowing inside of it will work in a pinch.

This isn't the way I would go about it but those are the instructions given what you asked. After I chop mine into pieces I Freeze and thaw it 3 x over the course of few days, brew this in a gigantic pot all day, then evaporate down after filtering real good to a resin which I scrape up and encapsulate.

Have fun and insight!

Sorry for a dumb question but i only need the outer green skin correct? The innards can be chucked?

Some people keep them and some discard them. I don't use it personally.

Thanks a lot! Time to get chopping ;-)

Enjoy! Turn up the music!

So i cut my first one up and i noticed some of the inner part had some brown parts? Is this ok...??? Thanks

The white will oxidize fairly rapidly to orange/brown when made contact with air.

If it's brown, sounds like it could be rotten, do you have pictures? I wouldn't consume anything that wasn't healthy looking, personally.

Heres what some of my cactus look like from inside and out. I shouldnt use them???

Thats perfectly fine, like I said you're going to cut out the white parts anyway, that rotten part is a part of that, discard and keep the green you're good to go.

Ok so from my read

Dice them up like i have done

Peel skin and toss

Toss woody core

Keep green inner flesh and white inner flesh

cut into smaller pieces and dry. I think ima use the oven method, i cant offord a dehydrator

But i will cut the rotten part away

the inner white part of a strong plant gives about a 1 percent by dry wt yield (~4 percent in the green) if you are interested.

PS, why isnt the phlux prep post stickied? I think this is the 4th or 5th time I've directed someone to it.

Let's get it stickied!

my cat did some san pedro the other day and got about one ounce of dried material. hes not sure that's going to be enough to work though...
