I have a 125 gram bag of Peruvian Torch cactus, powdered. I think it's the species Trichocereus peruvianus, but not sure. I also have a smaller bag from a different source that is one ounce, which came with the words written on it: "One ounce peruvian torch cactus = 2 servings"

I think the smaller bag was supposed to be a "sampler," so 1/2 an ounce might be a relatively small dose (like for when you're first trying it). I have done san pedro before (my favorite drug so far), but I'm really not sure how much I took, and it was hard chunks rather than powder.

I have two questions for anybody who has experience with the powder kind:

1) What is a good dose? I have read everything from "15 grams will do," to people online who report they sometimes take over 100 grams(!!!). This seems like a huge difference to me, can anyone clarify? I was orignally hoping my 125g would be good for like 8 trips or so, if each one was a dose of like 15g---it would suck if I only got 2 or 3 trips out of it for me and my friends put together.

2) What sort of prep. do you do? I'd rather not take a lot of gelcaps, I'll probably make a tea with the powder. What does it taste like in hot water, and also, how much water do you add for a good ratio?

3. Any other helpful advice?
