San Pedro Cactus

As one of the most popular mescaline cactus varieties available today, San Pedro, or Echinopsis pachanoi, is a sacred plant native to South America. Playing an important role in certain Andean cultures, the San Pedro cactus is now available for you to purchase and cultivate at home. Whether bought in seed or cutting form, this cactus is ready to flourish.

Growing the San Pedro cactus at home is not a difficult task, requiring the same amount of care and maintenance as other cactus varieties. Just be sure not to overwater. Moreover, you should provide adequate ventilation to reduce the threat of mould.

Like most mescaline cacti, San Pedro provides deep psychedelic trips punctuated with strong visuals and other sensory changes. Trips often take around 1–2 hours to take effect and last around 6–12 hours, depending on the dose.

Like with all psychedelics, the San Pedro cactus should be treated with the utmost respect. Those looking to experience its psychedelic gifts should do so with complete preparation to fully embrace the effects.
