San Pedro (Peruvian Torch Cacti)

The San Pedro cactus is the name given to psychoactive species of the genus Trichocereus (T. pachanoi, T. peruvianus) which comprises about thirty species, mainly found in the Andes. It is a large columnar cactus that grows up to heights of twenty feet. Its mescaline content is less than that of peyote (0.3 - 1.2 percent), but because of its great size and rapid growth, it may provide a more economical source of mescaline than peyote. The Tricocereus Peruvianus gives clear visions and hallucinations during a mystical and earthy trip. This information is supplied purely for educational purposes if you live in the UK.
