This weekends journey.. San Pedro. I did a little different tactic than what I've read about so I was wondering what you guys thought about it and will it be effective. I'll definitely post the results later when I know for sure.
Started with 3 ft. of San Pedro and peeled the skin off of most. This got tedious so one of the stocks just went in with the skin. I noticed two methods. One called for cutting the cacti into stars and boiling, the other was a shaman tek that called for peeling only the green layer between the skin and the pulp. Per the shames advise I decided to eliminate the pulp all together. He not only stated that the pulp is what causes nausea but also said the active alkaloid is in the green. Upon further research I've discovered many people stating the pulp has maybe 2% alkaloid is any at all.
So I threw it all into a blender as described in the first tek I read. This tek called for juicing the cactus material after boiling. What I'm left with though is just a tea looking substance that looks like the final product without having the squeeze out the cacti material. On other words it's liquified skin and inner green material.
I'm hoping this will produce great results without the nausea I've read about from using the white inner core. I'll take a 2% loss in potency over hours of feeling sick any day! I put three ft. just in case but we're going to start with 1/3 each (there are two of us) and save the other cup incase we need to go further (which I'll probably do).
What do you think? Will it be effective? Or did I just screw up three good feet of Pedro?
