hi SWIM has found a consumption method (4, to be honest) for San Pedro which may be what he was looking for. He is sorry if this has already been posted, but he couldn't find it with the search engine. SWIM isn't sure about any extraction/simmering/freezing method, mainly because he thinks it requires a long and potentially alcaloid damaging/losing preparation and it would taste awful anyway.
Then SWIM came across this method, basically it's just a decent way to ingest the dried cactus (de-spined, skinned, core removed)
1). Throw some the powder into a small glass of strong tasting beverage (beer, orange juice, coke ect) a bit at a time and stir it well with a spoon, then shoot it. It will not taste good but it will be bearable. Repeate untill all the powder is consumed. This stuff will not want to mix with the beverage, it will not dissolve in any real way, so shoot it as soon as you mix it about or it will just gather at the bottom of the glass.
(2). Put the powder into an empty glass and the add just enough strong tatsing and pleasant beverage (as above) so that the powder soaks it up and becomes a kind of goey paste. Next squash the paste up as tight as you can into several small balls. Now throw the balls into you mouth one at a time and immediately wash them down witha big mouthful of beverage. You should barely taste anything but your beverage of choice with this method.
(3). Mix the powder through a paste like food of your choice. Peanut butter, chocalate spread, nutella, depending on your personal tastes and either eat it on its own or spread it onto a sandwich or somethig and eat it like that.
(4). Stuff the powder into capsules and swallow them down. Thier is a lot of powder so you will be eating a lot of capsules so I am not a big fan of doing it this way, as I have heard that eating that many capsules can give you pretty bad diahrea.
SWIM is planning to test the potency of his dried cactus first (maybe using a 10g dose and seeing if he gets any effect) and then to try with an amount from 50 to 100g dried, hoping for a full, long lasting effect.
Any comment is welcomed
