is my San Pedro still usable?

[Haym]

Hey guys long time lurker, first time poster.
About 1 and a half months ago I cut a 7 foot, 10kg limb of a San Pedro plant. Only problem being I haven't had time to do an extraction.
I realise it will have degraded and lost potency.
I an just wondering if there is any point proccessing it now, or will it have degraded/dried to the point it isn't worth doing?
Or is it possible that it will be ok by using a higher dose?
Cheers ☺

6 weeks is nothing for a San Pedro, it should be fine as long as it hasn't been out in the elements.

Cheers for your reply kaden I'm stoked to hear this ☺? I'm glad it won't go to waste !
Iv only had it a few times over the years and am extremely happy to have the chance to brew such a large batch. I will keep everyone updated on the prep, brewing and overall experience.
Anyone with more info, input or questions feel free to post ☺

Actually potency has been shown to increase when cuts are taken and stored in a cool dark place. This was documented online after several individuals took cuts conducted a basic a/b extraction and the results were sent to EC for GC-MS analysis.

You can search for the cactus analysis thread on the nexus. I would encourage people to take cutttings during winter and store them in a heavily shaded or dark shelf for at least 8 weeks.

A very sad update. All of the cactus collected was destroyed before it even had a chance to be processed?. A lost chance for further enlightenment, I will be looking into acquiring more in the near future, so will keep everyone posted
