I read what happened to the founder of Bouncing Bear... saw that other web-sites were all "out" and then got 4 12 inch pieces from Amazon. I planted 2 of them. The remaining two I cooked up just like
www.erowid.org said to do. I used a deli slicer to make beautiful pentagram like slices about the width of a hamburger pickle. I tossed them with an equal amount of water into a food processor. I ground the whole thing up into a green pulp and then I put it all into a slow cooker. For 7 days I cooked it on low and strained it and added more water to it. Finally I had a pint of what looked like green pea soup. I added the juice of 1 whole lemon, shook it up and drank it down.
May I say: DISAPPOINTING!
For about an hour I saw some faint, snowflake designs superimposed on my perception of reality. After that, nothing!
I can get more visual images by pressing my fingertips to my eyelids!
The cactus looked like the pictures I've seem of San Pedro, and since it is more or less legal... why deceive me? Or was it the way I prepared it?
Lots of questions, but no answers.....
