The san Pedro has 4 – 8 ribs. Most San Pedro's have 6-8 ribs are you growing them or did you find some

even the spines in your pedro pic are way lighter then the ones on mine.
mine are pretty much black spines and very small.

I'd eat it, nothing to loose.... remember to save and root a wedge....

This picture illustrates the ribs thing, count ribs on mom, and on pup.....

im not sure on this but wouldnt tasting some be a valid way to test its activity??? just an assumption based on the fact that mescaline containing cacti are bitter.
