You could just eat it, but do you really want to chow down on a foot of slimy bitter cactus? In my opinion, it is better to boil it down and drink it. Also, remember not to eat the fibrous white center, as it has negligible amounts of mescaline and tends to make one sick. There's several prep techniques on erowid for how to despine an otherwise prepare it.
SomeDude Reviewed by SomeDude on . Armored Turtle Monsters Attack!? So, my title has nothing to do with my post, so just to clarify, there is no monster turtle attack...yet.... So, if I buy a San Pedro from somebody, and it's like a foot tall, can I just peel and eat, or do I have to wait until it matures or something? Rating: 5
