A query on San Pedro

[SomebodyAfar]

People, after noting the amount of phscadelic experimentors, who recomend the cacti San Pedro, for a good, intense trip, I decided to try and follow it up; and I can say, after a visit to a local shop, that they have it in stock.

But, before purchase, like any intelligent person, I researched a little more. The San Pedro cacti I intend to buy, falls under the brand name "Special Salvia"(only a name) and comes in a dose of 12.5g.

This really got me thinking, ish, as in the places i have looked, it recomends no less than 20g for a decent trip.
Does this mean i will have to buy 2 packs?(yes, crack a joke about me being a cheapscate)
Does the amount of mescaline in different brands vary?
And lastly, may I have a recomendation for what to buy, and the trippyness I can expect.

Well, this is my query, and thanks for reading.

Swib has never seen a brand name of cacti. But if there are every brand would be different. Even differnt bags under the same brand could be different. Cacti vary greatly from seed to seed.

One way to be able to know potency is if only one cacti was used and many made from it. The material would be the same. Alought even here age and storage would make a big factor in potency and similarity

Buy two. Start with 1 even 1/2 a pack. If you dont feel anything eat anther 1/2 a bag. You can always eat more but if you eat to much you will have to ride it out

Thanks for the advice, but is it true when some people say that you need 50g of dried san pedro?Just discovered after purchasing 25g.

people need different amounts to feel the effects depends on the person and depends on the potency. Always start low better to not get enough the first time than to
much. One can always adjust up but not down. Search around this question can answered but yes it can be true were a person would have to eat more than 50grams dried pedro to feel anything

I'm aware of the brands you mentioned, and I would advise looking elsewhere. Nothing to do with mescaline content, but rather value. Obviously, not allowed to mentioned specifics or prices, but one can get much greater amounts of cactus for better value if one has a quick look on the internet.

I tried some of their Salvia, the 20x extract and it seemed "good". It did what it said, that is. I wouldn't ingest their cactii, though, because that's illegal.
