OK, HERE IS THE FINEST WAY TO PREPARE SAN PEDRO CACTUS FOR TWO...
[TRUST ME ON THIS ONE...]

1] Hack off a piece of San Pedro about 70cm long and 10cm in diameter, be careful of the spikes when you take it to the kitchen for preparation [obviously].

2] Grab a kitchen knife and remove the spikes. The easiest way is to make two cuts down each row of spikes, so the whole row can be removed in one swift go. Repeat this for the 8 or so rows of spikes.

3] Now, remove the very thin, clear ‘waxy’ outer layer to expose the fleshy green xylem. Don’t be shy about getting the snotty cactus shit on your hands, remember, you’re going to be drinking this shit.

4] Next, remove all the fleshy green stuff [xylem] from the cactus, as this is the part that with the psychoactive content. Make sure to leave all the inner white shit as that is the stuff that will make you sick when consumed. Throw the inner cactus material, the waxy outer layer and the rows of spikes in the bin, or better, the compost heap.

5] Ok, now the waiting part. Put 3 litres of water on to boil and add all the slices of snotty green xylem. Let this boil for 3-4 hours, making sure that it doesn’t boil over, as you will lose some psychoactive cactus juice.

6] After around 3.5 hours of boiling, strain the liquid from the strips of xylem, this is best done by placing a small piece of [old] bed sheet-like material in a sieve and straining it through into a bottle/jug. You should have about 500mL [2 glasses] of liquid left]

7] While the yellow-lime cactus juice is cooling down, put all the slices of boiled green xylem in a blender; add orange juice, water, juice concentrate, different fruits, etc to make a xylem fruit smoothie. [Don’t add the cactus liquid to the smoothie]

8] Once the liquid has cooled down, half it between yourself and a friend. Don’t sip on it because you will get put off it, if you jam it back in one go, you don’t taste a fucking thing [seriously]. Save the xylem smoothie for later in the trip [this tastes sweet as].

9] Enjoy the trip. And don’t forget to get very stoned as well.

Basically, San Pedro is a mild psychoactive cactus, so almost zero chance of overdose, especially with a dose this size. I would recommend drinking the smoothie right after drinking the liquid but maybe better to wait a while between if it’s your first time.
