Anyone here grow or have experience with Lophophoria?

So, I've tried a lot of different psychedellics over the years, but never got a chance to try peyote. Always loved seeing them in the shops in Amsterdam, but didn't have the ability to process em in the Army, so always passed on em.

Been kicking around the idea of growing some from seed along with my other succulents as they're beautiful little plants especially when they flower. Now I know they'll take several years before I have anything I can enjoy, so I suppose my initial question is whether or not the experience is worth the wait? I've looked and looked and I just can't find a source for 2-3 year old cacti, so this is why I'm considering the seed route. If anyone could take a look on the Silkroad and report back on availability, I'd appreciate that as I'm no computer guy and would rather not go through all of that unless it'd save me a few years waiting...

Second, once they ARE old enough, what is the process from going cactus->trip? Is it something I can process and cook down without a bunch of chemicals and a flowhood and such?

Lastly, if the seed route is taken, are they all very similar or is one variety preferred over another?

Thanks for any help on the matter!

Mescaline is worth it dude! Great 'electric' trip..but that's mescaline..I've never eaten real peyote...I did trip for a long timeboth time I ate mescaline,if that's your thing,you're gonna love it...hope your grow goes well,I need to start one soon..maybe both sanpedro and peyote..

Imagine slight delirum, stomach trouble, foggy perceptions laid lightly on top of clean soothing visions and euphoria - that is peyote. A few buttons are nice but if you want to go full bore peyote is not what you want, mescaline is.

I gave that a like,even though I've never had a button..ill allways choose the less 'stomach altering' moa...

Extracts are truly a wonderful thing. Cactus flesh is gross.

So mescaline will give you the heavy visuals without the nausia then? Was on probation the only time it ever came around so never tried this either.

What dosage should I be looking for to try it out? I've been able to handle several hits of acid before with no real troubles... 2g dried pan cyans were pretty heavy on the visuals again with little or no trouble handling the journey... what's a mid-range dose for the first time without going overboard? How long should I expect to set aside for the journey before coming back to "normal"?

Also, I imagine mescaline isn't tested for often on a standard drug test, is this correct? What's the body life on it?

so i just tooled around a few pages of MrEDuck's chemistry discussion and came to the conclusion I'm in over my head here...

I'd set out at LEAST a half a day, more like a full day if you have it. Mescaline is often like an almost intoxicated psychedelia (from what I've gathered). And yes, mescaline in it's pure form should remove or at the very least greatly reduce the nausea accompanied with a trip.

Nice, I do plan on setting aside the necessary time for it, but good advice for the whole day thing. Anyone have advice on dosage?

400 + is a peak dose, I would start at maybe 275, it will bring you to a very demanding place without approaching the precipice.


Plan on getting some stomach trouble no matter what - mescaline itself is.... rather harsh on the stomach and bowels. Fasting is wise.

Extractions really aren't that hard. But if you don't feel comfortable don't attempt it.
I'd suggest a dose of around 300mg.
