How do you dry cactus?

How exactly do you dry cactus for extraction? The TEKS I have read all say to cut it in to chunks and put it in the oven on low heat, but what is "low heat?" How long do they stay in? How do I know when they are "dry?" Some specific information would be great. Thanks.

225 to 250 will be fine as mescaline won't degrade until 360 or so. when yu can take the skins and crumble them they are dry. then you can powder them.

dry = hard and crispy
mescaline is a pretty stable molecule
so unless you smell something burning it will be fine
