Peyote (Lophophora williamsii)

(610)

Peyote, considered a living god, El Mescalito has a long history among the natives of northern Mexico and Southwestern USA – at least 5700 years, say archeologists. Then it was demonized and driven underground by the Spanish conquerors in the 16th century. But thanks to the wonders of modern cultivation, you can have one of these sacred Lophophora williamsii in your own home.

Peyote (Lophophora williamsii): El Mescalito, considered a living god

The Spanish named the demonic plant peyote, from the Nahuatl word peyotl. It’s is a small cactus with fuzzy tufts instead of spines that rarely rises more than 3-4 cm above the soil surface, the largest part of the cactus being its long underground taproot.

Peyote is native to southwestern Texas and Mexico, growing in scrubby desert and preferring limestone soil. Currently in Texas it has been over-harvested and its habitat increasingly used for ranching, to the point that peyote is listed as an endangered species. This is made worse by the fact that peyote is extremely slow growing, though cultivated ones grow faster, with mature, flowering and harvestable (approx 3 inches in diameter) adult cacti taking less than three years to grow from seed.

Only in the 1900s did peyote gain public attention again, with the establishment of the Native American Church and the legal protection it was given. 

PEYOTE INGREDIENTS

Peyote is another of nature’s wonderful chemical factories, making more than 50 alkaloids. The most interesting of these is the powerful entheogen mescaline, which makes up about 0.3% of the fresh cactus and 1-2% dried.

    Peyote Perfect
    I ordered three Peyote cacti. They arrived in good time, alive and healthy. Read the information on Zamnesia about how best to look after them. Was over the moon to see one flowered after only a couple of months (waiting to see if it also fruits and gives seeds for me to plant). As in UK (not much sun) was not expecting any flowering. Enjoying looking after them and learning about them too. Although they can look after themselves well enough given the right conditions. Great value and product.

    Klein, aber fein
    Ziemlich klein (wie beschrieben), macht aber einen sehr gesunden Eindruck. Lassen wir ihn mal wachsen…

    Damaged plant
    I received degrafted plant with own tuberous roots, pretty nice and healthy yet not fully seed grown which is quite important information and knowing that I wouldn’t order. On top of that plant was improperly packed and, secured inside the box and got damaged during transport. I contacted support which was dismissive and unhelpful.
