I have a few cactus i bought from home depot echinopsis types, not sure they will be psychoactive. Thinking of getting a peyote grow started if i can. I see there are some nurseries in texas that have san pedro. Has anyone tried to grow her?

Love cacti. Such a forgiving and fun plant to grow/watch grow :)...I would look into ordering cuttings online as nurseries aren't always the best in regards to what you're looking for. Most nurseries sell the san pedro "PC"cultivar that is hit or miss and if it is active, pretty weak. Look into Misplant/sacred succulents/mallachts plants for good cuttings with good genetics. Even ebay has some good ones....Look into trichocereus bridgesii and trichocereus peruvianus as well. There are so many different trichocereus hybrids out now as well that vary in the goods. Collecting em gets addicting lol.

Growing from a cutting is much easier and faster as all you have to do is stick the cutting in the soil and wait for it to root (about a month or two) compared to sowing seeds which is easier to 'mess up' and it takes about 2 years to start to really grow - a cutting can grow 6" to a foot a season.

Lophophora Williamsii is a different plant altogether. you need patience...... a lot of patience :lol: but definitely a much more special plant.

Amazon used to sell San Pedro it was crazy. I have heard that you have to take off the skin and then shave the meat, boil that down and then drink the shitty tasting leftovers at whatever consistency the boiling has taken it to. I have HEARD that it is great for OBE's and similar to DMT in some ways.

I HAVE HEARD that it can last about 12 hours depending on how much you drink. Now I HAVE HEARD that you might puke your guts up so dont eat a lot before hand, but have crackers nearby to munch on along with some water to drink.

I HAVE HEARD that amazon no longer sells this. So I HAVE HEARD.

I grow succulents and cactus as well. You can find a great source online for pach cuttings. Growing specifically to harvest the good stuff for personal use is possible.

Sacred cactus has a nice selection of torches, bridgesii and San Pedro all three are active.

I would probably stick to them for a source, I have had bad purchases of laphora’s etc from sketchy vendors.

I grow and love San Pedro. Looking into getting more seed of both San Pedro and peyote I killed the last batch by harding off to quickly using the take away tek. It works just gotta follow the directions when opening container.

when you do decide to cut (you have plenty of time) don’t forget to apply some sulfur powder to the cut end to prevent rot and disease. You can also point a small fan towards the cut end to dry it out faster
..wait till its a hard white callous, you can even wait till you see roots coming out
