Cactus San Pedro Cutting

Cactus San Pedro Cutting

The San Pedro cactus (Echinopsis pachanoi) originally stems from Peru and Ecuador. It is a large species of cactus, which can grow 3 to 6 meters high (9.84 to 19.69 feet) in the wild and grows on mountains from 1800 to 2800 meter altitude (5900 to 9200 feet). These pieces of San Pedro Pachanoi however are 25 to 30 cm (9.84 to 11.81 in) in size.

San Pedro cacti are used by indigenous peoples in traditional rituals in their distribution range. San Pedro is Spanish for Saint Peter, one of the apostles. The cactus is seen as "the keys to heaven" as it were.

Extraction of mescaline from the San Pedro cactus

A piece of cactus of 25 to 30 cm (9.84 to 11.81 in) contains enough plant material for producing about 300-400 ml of green liquid extract. First start with cutting off the part rich in mescaline. This is done in the following manner:

• carefully remove the translucent, waxy skin which surrounds the green part of the cactus
• then peel off the green layer until you reach the light green to white internal part
• practically all mescaline is contained in the green pulp layer, so you need this layer. You can also dice the cactus and use everything without bother
• collect the green peels or green pulp and boil them down on a very low heat in about 3 liters of water, during 3 to 4 hours
• After that time you will have approximately 300 to 400 ml of thick green liquid. The more you boil it down, the less you need to drink
• Sieve the green liquid and let cool for several hours
• You are now ready for your own San Pedro ceremony
• Some people put the green peels directly in the blender and blend it to a pulp, or dry it and then grind it into powder. These methods work too, but are more prone to causing nausea than with boiling down
