I'm no pro so take my amateur opinion for what it it's worth.

Those top two photos look like cereus to me with the thin ribs. The third picture looks like may be a trich, it looks a lot like a peruvianus or cuzcoensis but the spination pattern looks more like a tershceckii.

Those first ones appear to be Cereus peruvianus.. not worth an extraction.

If this is what they are, they are still a good cactus to hold on too. It may not contain mescaline but Cereus Peruvianus will eventually produce edible fruit. It's also known as the Peruvian apple tree cactus. My mother in law has one that has a monstrose mutation, and once it got big enough it usually produces fruit every other year. I took a cutting and have yet to plant it but hope to do so this year so I can eventually try out the fruit it produces.
 
Nice, i was probably going to plant those anyway. Dont want to toss it just cause its not active. I dont like to waste things. Can anyone id the second one? Would more photos help? It had flowers like a peruvianus
 
No opinion on this second cactus?
