San Pedro Cactus Look-A-Likes
San Pedro cactus (Trichocereun pachanoi) is one of the cactus species
containing mescaline, which belongs to a family of components known as
phenethylamines, being very different from the other families of major
psychedelics. Besides of its contents of mescaline, San Pedro cactus is
comprised of a large variety of related psychoactive components, which produce
experiences that are different than pure mescaline. The experience felt by
peyote is distinct from that made by cacti from the trichocereus family. It’s
been said that synthetic or pure crystalline mescaline, is one of the most
uncommon psychedelics and misrepresentation of other substances as being
mescaline is very ordinary. Labs that do not work under legal basis, produce
mescaline very seldom due to its ineffectiveness, lack of market and high cost.
In order to produce a psychedelic trip, it is required ½ gram of mescaline
approximately. This same amount of material, would represent 20 doses of 2C-B, 4
doses of ecstasy, 2,500 doses of LSD or 50 doses of psilocin. Consequently, the
price for mescaline is much higher than any of the mentioned above, making it
impossible to become a popular street drug. The easiest sources to get San Pedro
cactus, are the nurseries, where they are marked with their botanical names, in
this case, Trichocereus Peruvians. Mescaline sulfate can be distinguished by the
construction of its crystals. These are approximately 0.06 centimeters long and
seem fine needles or fragments of glass. San Pedro cactus is considered legal
for ornamental purposes only. Although is not legal to extract, sell or ingest
for psychoactive purposes. It is recommended that before going cactus shopping,
to look at pictures and also to read physical descriptions of these varieties.
Mostly in large libraries will count with a selection of books on cacti and its
lexicology. The majority of the varieties of trichocereus are hard to tell
apart. Anyhow, these books should give an idea of which cacti to scrutinize the
name tags on. It’s been proved that cactus is most powerful when harvested
during the hottest times of the year. Very often, people get confused with
mescaline and peyote. The potency of peyote, as well as diverse people’s
tolerance to it, seems to vary broadly. Some people report potent experiences
from a few buttons, while others need up to 15 buttons. The quantity of San
Pedro that must be consumed to get the full effects is a piece approximately 25
cms long and 7 cms in diameter.
For purposes of consumption, peyote is even harder to eat than San Pedro
cactus since the taste is excessively bitter. It’s been experienced that
mescaline has the advantages of focused ability of the mind, rather than the
dreamier, drifting state gotten from mushroom; the body feels relaxed, even
calmer than with mushrooms. San Pedro regularly produces a very mild, flowing
experience (although, the effects of peyote are very different, because of its
unique mix of alkaloids).
