San Pedro not working? What did I do wrong.

Well, I followed a San Pedro recipe from the internet and it didn't work.

I took about 2 feet of San Pedro cactus.

I put it in the blender and pulverized it.

I then boiled the pulverized cactus for about 3 hours. Adding water as it evaperated. This will leech the mescaline out of the plant fiber and into the water supposedly from what I read.

Then with a cheese cloth, I squeezed all the juices out. I squeezed and let it drain for a long time until all that was left in the cheese cloth was a little rock hard, dry ball of hard plant fiber. With all the good juice in a pot.

I then took that good juice and boiled it down until it was a thick and glooey sludge.

Finished! I drank the sludge, expecting to get a mescaline trip. From what I researched I had done everything right.

But nothing happened. Not even a slight buzz.

What did I do wrong?

 

Are you sure it was san pedro or another active cacti?

What time year was the plant harvested?

 

It was definitely the real thing. Peruvian torch with a flower on top.

Harvested in May. Is there a good and bad time to harvest?
