At my studio back in Sydney we had several San Pedro cactuses (they contain mescaline and are identical to Peyote in effect) growing on the balcony. One night after taking everyone out for drinks we went back to the studio and got into them. I was lounging around talking with one of my business partners about how we didn't think it was really going to kick in. A bit later we noticed that conversation had drifted to talking about reverse entropy and why it was impossible to observe time going backward . . . at that point we knew it was working. About twelve hours later my girlfriend dropped by (it was the next day) and I was jumping around the office telling everybody to look at my hooves. It wore off about four hours later. After a solid hunk of sleep I got up feeling ridiculously mentally refreshed. I enjoy infrequent controlled use of hallucinogens, I find it a great mental recharge and also a pretty good time. I live in New York now and I was quite happy to see that San Pedros are even easier to get ahold of in the states than the were in Oz :)

If you've never done Peyote, it's a bit different, containing lots of different alkaloids. The effect is pretty similar though. Always depends on the person and context. San Pedro is really easy to grow yourself, and totally legal.

  I haven't actually eaten Peyote, that's interesting that there is a different effect. I wouldn't turn any down if I cam across it but San Pedro is so easy and cheap to come by and since it's mescaline as well I can't imagine it's too different. Thanks for the info!

Great share. Curious how you extracted so quickly from the cacti though? Did you already have it prepared, because it looks like you have to boil it out for several hours or use an acid-base extraction?

  Actually we just skinned them, sliced them lengthwise, cut out the woody core, and ate them like cucumber spears. I have a strong gut and am not bothered by extremely bitter things but most everyone else was pretty repulsed by the entire affaire. I prefer them that way, no matter what you do (the boiling, etc. . . ) you'll still end up with a bitter, kinda gross mess of stuff to eat. Might as well just pop it down.
