Tripping is not only possible on \n shrooms<\/a>\n<\/span> and \n truffles<\/a>\n<\/span>but also on harmless-looking Mescaline cacti. The best known are San Pedro and Peyote. These Mexican plants are used in spiritual ceremonies, but are also a great pastime recreationally. Read all about Mescaline cacti such as Peyote and San Pedro here. What can you use them for and how do you go about it?<\/p>\n

<\/b>What are Mescaline cacti?<\/span><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\n

\n Mescaline cacti<\/a>\n<\/span> are found in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The two best-known species are San Pedro and Peyote. Less well known is the Bolivian Torch, considered one of the strongest cacti. They look like any other cactus. However, these species contain psychoactive compounds, which therefore cause you to trip. One such substance is the alkaloid mescaline, from which the cacti thus got their name.<\/p>\n

The great thing about Mescaline cacti is that they do just fine in your living room. If you want to use San Pedro or Peyote, you have them at your fingertips. Like many cactus species, Peyote grows at a pretty slow pace. In the end, this species does not grow very large: count on a ball of 12 centimeters. You can also raise the San Pedro yourself. However, this cactus does grow fast. Where the Peyote has a spherical shape, San Pedro shoots up into the air. And big too: they can grow up to 6 meters tall, with a diameter of up to 15 centimeters.<\/p>\n

What exactly are mescaline cacti used for?<\/h3>\n

Mescaline cacti have been used for centuries by indigenous tribes for spiritual and healing purposes. They believe they enable you to contact the gods and ancestors. During a trip, you gain life lessons and insights; in other words, a true spiritual journey. Both past and present, cacti are also used to deal with trauma.<\/p>\n

San Pedro has been used since at least the 16th century and today is mostly found in traditional ceremonies in Peru. Peyote use can even be seen in cave paintings thousands of years old. They were probably also used ceremonially before that time, but no hard evidence has been found for that (yet). <\/p>\n\t
