I keep trying to post on this thread, but it aint working - obviously a noob at this stuff!

So if it works - I'm sorry buddy but it aint San Pedro as far as I can tell - in my experience from growing them and I've grown a lot in the last 10 years (along with 100s of diff species) no san pedro shows such significant ribbing - i.e. it needs to be perfectly round and smooth.

I'm not from the states, so I've never been in the field and pulled some up. My advice is not to do it, could be anything and some species are really harmful when ingested.

also...it aint peyote either lol

Hope that helps - Vespula

It doesn't look like it man. San Pedro has seven lobes I think. Just put it in the freezer until you find out, if its good then chow down.

san pedro varies in the number of lobes even on the same branch at times. not a good way identify San Pedro. There is some lore about how many ribs the best ones have~but i've seen contradictory claims as to even or odd #s being preferred. :eyesmoke:

oh my bad i didnt look at the one where it shows the cut only looked at his second picture

it is easy to tell by cutting and looking because it makes a fat star

I've always wanted to boil the one in my yard but heard it was a hard process with a bunch of chemicals. is this true?? or could i just boil it and drink whatever comes out of it?? or eat it?? what is the easiest way to use this shit

super easy. here's a basic recipe:

I'd add the juice of one sour lemon (not a sweet one like a meyers) per pound of raw flesh. I use RO water as well.
