  1. TrichocereusPachanoi All about the San Pedro Cactus

  2. What is TrichocereusPachanoi? The Trichocereuspachanoi is synonymous with the Echinopsispachanoi. Both names refer to the same plant – the San Pedro cactus. The San Pedro Cactus is a columnar cactus which grows at a rapid rate. People have used San Pedro cactus for more than 3,000 years for a wide variety of reasons: traditional medicine, veterinary uses, spiritual healing, religious divination, and ornamental purposes. It’s usually confused with its close relative: Echinopsisperuviana, commonly referred to as the Peruvian Torch cactus. San Pedro Cactus is also known by many names throughout South America such as achuma, huachuma, wachuma, aguacolla, hahuacollay, or giganton.

  3. San Pedro Cactus Appearance San Pedro is a cactus with pillars consisting of 4 to 9 ribbons. It’s fast-growing and has a root system which branches off from the base of the stem. It keeps growing until it gives in to its own weight. In nature, the fallen cactus will root again and produce multiple new branches. Trichocereuspachanoi stems are light to dark green. Sometimes, it may also take on a pale grey or bluish-green hue. Its cylindrical body has a diameter of 6cm to 15cm with 6 to 8 ribs. San Pedro is usually 3 to 6 meters tall and has multiple branches which extend from the base. This cactus species produces white flowers at the end of the stems which open at night.

  4. Where Does San Pedro Cactus Grow Wild? It is most common in the Andes Mountains where it grows in altitudes of 2,000 to 3,000m. It grows in nature and is cultivated in different parts of the world. It’s also found in similar ecosystems in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru.

  5. San Pedro Cactus History One of the oldest archeological evidences for the use of San Pedro cactus is a 3,500-year old carving found at the Jaguar Temple in Northern Peru. Old textiles around the region illustrate the cactus surrounded by jaguars and hummingbirds (two of its guardian spirits). The name “San Pedro” is a reference to Saint Peter, the holder of the keys to the gates of heaven. This is a testament to the cactus’ ability to bring a person towards a dimension where humans can experience the divine. This cactus is also always depicted with swirling lines which represent its visionary effects.

  6. Uses of San Pedro Cactus San Pedro cactus has a long history in traditional medicine in the Andes. In fact, archaeological evidence supposes this cactus was used as far back as two thousand years ago at the height of the Moche civilization which flourished in northern Peru. It has been drunk in different shamanic healing ceremonies. These ceremonies are said to have a healing effect and can cure a variety of illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, paralysis, and even mental and emotional problems such as grief and anxiety. San Pedro is ingested in the form of a cold tea which is prepared by boiling sections of the tall cactus. In this form, it’s called “El Remedio,” or “The Remedy.”

  7. San Pedro Cactus Effects Mescaline’s effects take hold 30 minutes to 2 hours after ingestion of the San Pedro cactus tea. Most people who took San Pedro tea report experiencing nausea. Afterwards, this nausea will wane and mescaline will take you on a hallucinogenic journey similar to tryptamine entheogen such as psilocybin. San Pedro Cactus Physical Effects Physical effects of San Pedro cactus include: Spontaneous physical sensations – this is characterized by a sharp, tingling sensation which moves up and down the body. Salivation – this effect seems to be less pronounced in natural psychedelics such as mescaline and psilocybin. It gradually disappears the longer the psychedelic stays in the body. Tactile enhancement – enhanced touch sensations are present at moderate doses throughout the duration of the mescaline trip.

  8. San Pedro Cactus Visual Effects As for the visual effects: Color enhancement – expect colors to become more saturated. Enhancement of pattern recognition – you will be able to see patterns on even the most mundane surfaces Drifting – this refers to the phenomenon when objects appear to melt, flow, breathe, and morph. Color shifting – objects will change colors especially when you don’t look at them directly Tracers – these are visual remnants of objects in motion Geometric patterns – geometric patterns will overlay your vision. These can range from simple shapes to complex fractals. Hallucinations – mescaline is capable of producing full range high-level hallucinations. You will see yourself in a wildly different landscape. San Pedro Cactus Cognitive Effects Mescaline is more stimulating and fast-paced in terms of their specific effects on one’s though patterns: Analysis enhancement – as the brain starts to fire more rapidly through its information highways, you will be more capable of analyzing abstract concepts. Creativity enhancement – you will be able to access the more creative parts of your brain. However, don’t expect to become more skilled… only inspired. Openness – you will become more welcoming to new ideas and concepts Sociability enhancement – this is more common in mescaline compared to other psychedelics. However, it’s less prominent. Ego death – this happens in high doses of mescaline. This will allow a person to experience concepts from a different perspective, untainted by prior experience and memories. San Pedro Cactus Transpersonal Effects Transpersonal effects refer to any effects which help one understand more transcendence and about their place in the universe: Spirituality enhancement – you will feel more connected to the divine. You may also experience a sudden shift in your personal beliefs. Self-realization – this is the feeling of sudden realization, rebirth, or waking up.

  9. Taking Care of San Pedro Cactus If you have a San Pedro Cactus at home, you can follow simple guidelines to make sure it grows into a healthy psychedelic plant with plenty of years ahead of it. An ideal homemade potting mix for the San Pedro cactus can be created by mixing 2 parts loam, coarse sand, and peat moss with 1 part fine gravel. Place the cactus and the medium in a clay pot. Clay is ideal for growing cacti because it provides great drainage. Place the San Pedro Cactus in a spot in your home which receives plenty of sunlight. If your house isn’t getting any natural sunlight, keep the plant in the best-lit spot or try replicating outdoor lighting conditions. As a native of Peru and Ecuador, the San Pedro cactus loves warmth and is best kept at temperature above 50 degrees F as it grows. Mescaline from the San Pedro Cactus is one of the many psychedelics found in nature. You can experience the psychedelic effects by ordering San Pedro cactus online here.
