San Pedro Mescaline Cactus 10cm trichocereus pachanoi

San Pedro Mescaline Cactus 10cm trichocereus pachanoi

Cacti owe their appearance to their extremely dry and hot environment. Cacti are best known for their spines (which are actually dried leaves), but some species have a different defense mechanism and protect themselves against their enemies with the help of poison. Some of these species are: Peyote, Sunami, Pata de Venado, Pezuna the Venado, Tsuwiri, Bisschopsmuts, Aztekium Retterii and the Sea urchin cactus.

According to researchers (including Backeberg), the Trichocereus family has 27 subspecies, of which San Pedro, also known as Trichocereus Pachanoi, is the best-known species. Others claim that in addition to Trichocereus Pachanoi there are only 13 other species that contain mescaline, but no one doubts that they originated in South America.

The amount of mescaline depends on the type and age of the cactus.

Botanical information

The San Pedro is a cactus that grows quite fast and has a strong root system and pillars with 4-9 ribs. The cactus grows from the base of the trunk and continues to grow until it collapses under its own weight. Once he has fallen over, he begins to root again and develop new pillars.

The largest amount of mescaline is directly under the skin. The older the cactus and the more heat he has had to endure, the more mescaline he contains.

History

Turner and Heyman discovered in 1960 that the San Pedro contains mescaline and call this cactus Opunita Cylindtica. His more common name San Pedro refers to the key keeper of the gate to heaven, the Apostle Peter - a powerful proof of the influence of the Catholic faith on other religions.

The indigenous tribes from the Andes Mountains in Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia used and use San Pedro as a hallucinogenic means to detect unconscious and spiritual causes of disease.

Chemistry

According to Erowid, 1-10% of the dried material consists of mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxy-B-phenethylamine).

The San Pedro contains besides mescaline also other substances: tyramine, hordinenine, 3-methoxytyramine, anhalaninine, anhalonidine, 3,4-dimethoxyphen-ethylamine, 3,4-dimethoxy-4-hydroxy-B-phenethylamine and 3,5-dimethoxy 4-hydroxy-B-phenethylamine.

Effects

1-2 hours after ingestion of San Pedro the effects take effect and these last for 8-15 hours. The most common effects include: recurring memories of long ago, extreme sensitivity to light, being able to see and feel each individual light beam and being able to hear distant sounds. You can feel love for every being on earth and every lifeless form.

Compared to Peyote, the effects of San Pedro are much more pleasant and the highlight is much less baffling and not nearly as physical. San Pedro has a somewhat bitter taste and the nausea that occurs with Peyote is less common.

Medical use

Several Indian tribes used / used the San Pedro cactus to enter a state of spirituality and clairvoyance, so that the shaman is able to trace the unknown causes of a person's problem or disease. Nothing is known about how and if San Pedro is used in regular medicine.

Use

The traditional way to prepare San Pedro is to cook pieces of the cactus for a long time. Depending on the results the shaman wants to achieve, herbs, for example, micha (Brugmansia suavenolens) and cimorillo (Coleus blumei), are added to the brew.

Dosage

Between 20 and 50 g - usually taken with water and citric acid to promote proper absorption by the body.

Contraindications

San Pedro can, like certain magic mushrooms and other psychoactive substances, cause a kind of hangover before the trip really starts. Chances are that you feel dizzy and nauseous for a moment and you will probably also surrender.

Warnings

Make sure there is someone with experience and support for the support and safety!

San Pedro causes visual misperceptions and heavy hallucinations, so do not take part in traffic if you are under the influence of San Pedro. Use this cactus in a familiar and safe environment and never go on your own trip. If you suffer from panic or a bad trip, Seresta or Valium can help reduce anxiety.

Grow

The plant only needs water and some nutrients.

San Pedro loves warmth and light. The hills on which he grows in nature have a nutrient-rich soil. So add some nutrients every now and then, but not too much, because it remains a cactus. If you grow the cactus indoors, always ensure direct sunlight. The best place is a window sill on the south. On very hot days you can give him a little extra water.

If you use a cutting, you must first dry it well, until the place where you cut the cutting has healed. Then let him take root in the ground. It may then take a year before it actually grows.

Growing with seeds takes a long time (we're talking about years here!) And takes a lot of effort.
