when i was out fighing the "war on drugs" with the coast guard.. i met a guy who was bure blooded navajo.. from what he said they were allowed to harvest them and use them legally... i have lost contact with him.. but i would guess if you knew anyone of native american decent who had ties to a res... you might get a lead towards some

good luck

I can get all those seed here in Toronto at Sacred Seed - Exotic Seed and Houseplant Shop - Medicinal, rare, and otherwise intriguing plants and seeds - Toronto Ontario Canada Great seed shop of all kinds Cannibis and all other hard to find plants. They also have some great info on the site about growing cati aswell.
Come up to Toronto and buy all those seed Legaly! Then go to Kindred Cafe and smoke a joint on their rooftop patio enjoying some nice organic coffee. Toronto has a fantastic KIND neighbourhood Called Yongesterdam. Located on Yonge Street the main Busness strip in toronto lots of Hemp shop Vaporizer lounges and BYOB (Bring your own bud)cafes

i looked up san pedro. nice. slice and boil for 7 hours drink in ceremony. sounds good. i have checked on peyote. i just vaguely remember they take a looooong time. i was just talking to the wife a few days ago about cocoa plants. i did the poppies this year and they are pretty flowers but the petals fall off in 2 days. i have hella seeds. i'm getting very interested in exotics for next springs planting.

cacti guys, cacti; this is about growing and learning, not getting obliterated. :p

peyote is endangered, which is why i chose to get it. san pedro and peruvian torch are both 100% legal, as long as you don't ingest them. as a matter of fact, they are sold at walmart and lowes annually.

i was going to have only legal cacti, and wanted torch and pedro for their massive size. supposedly they can survive the winters here. when i did some reading and found out how scarce and rare peyote is in the wild now, and the ancient strains that are now extinct due to over harvesting (takes 15-20 to grow to maturity, as fdd stated), i felt obligated to do my part to preserve the plant. others are doing the same all over the place.

the seeds are available all over the place, a simple search will connect you with many of them. shamanic extracts and errowid are two i can think of off hand...

hi knowm!!

peyote is a great plant.It really is a spiritual high and I see why they used it to talk to the spirit gods.Its illegal for any wild cactus to be picked in North America without a permit but natives are an exception.I would luv to grow peyote buttons but havent seen seeds anywhere.
