Quoted: This sounds right.It is legal for use as a sacrament by certain Native Americans. Any other use is strictly prohibited. PS: I had a manager at a restaurant who told me he camped in the desert with a buddy and took some a least once. I don't remember much of the account except that he kept throwing bottlecaps at the moon because it would make the image ripple out from the moon or stretch and bounce back like a reflection in a lake or a rubber membrane as if the bottlecap was impacting the moon's image. That and it made him vomit non-stop until he finally fell asleep, but he said the vomiting felt really good, as in euphoric and pleasurable physically so he was laughing the whole time.  Said it was the best drug he'd ever taken (out of quite a few).YMMV, best of luck  |

This is the funniest scene involving peyote.
Young Guns peyote scene "You see the size of that chicken?!?!?"

Many many years ago when I was in the army a buddy from New Mexico who was an Native American Indian brought some of that stuff back after a stand down leave.
Being young and adventureous we decided we need to try this shit out. Ain't no wonder them Indians think they turn into brother coyote and brother eagle as thats some wicked shit. I can't rember now what the hallucinations were but I do remember we was all fucked and seen shit that in realitiy wasn't there. Probably best just leave it the fuck alone unless you just want to get all fucked up an hallucinate. No it ain't legal unless your one of that certain bunch of Indians who use it to get in touch with the spirit world ie; hallucinate! |

I've tried some in the Wirikuta desert in Mexico (the proper way to do it  ), got sick, my friends got sick, you gotta take a lot to get visuals. Wasn't bad, wasn't great. Most people I met who tried it said the same thing.

A friend of mine did that stuff. He alos took someother naturally growing stuff he read about. HE would tell me what he took, but he did say the effects lasted for days. HE said he spent a few days making rock piles by the side of the road naked . For life of me I can't understand why anyone would want to take stuff like this.

It's also almost extinct, much harder to find it these days. It grows in the desert long the Mexican border. There are some cacti that are legal and contain the alkaloid mescaline in lower concentrations though. You can order them through the interweb |

Is Peyote Cactus Illegal? There's a show on national Geographic, and it got me thinking. Everything that is fun or makes a person relaxed and mellow is illegal. It is perceived as a job of the government to do this. Salvia is legal. Just you wait Hell, they've already started working on rebanning Stevia which produces the horrible effect of being a no calorie natural sweetener. EVERYBODY HIDE! |

Please do not "experiment" with peyote.
It is not "fun". There is a lot of puking involved. Peyote is called the "hard road" (to wisdom, insight, spiritual experience, etc) for a very good reason. There is extensive physical and mental preparation necessary for a proper peyote experience. Even then it is rigourous. Very rigourous. Much puking + potentially disturbing hallucinations= Do not try this at home.

While in coastal Peru a few years back, (was there for work, then travel, etc.) we "journeyed" with a local guy (wouldn't really call him a shaman or anything, but he seemed to know what he was doing).
We imbibed a strong liquid that had been made from the san pedro cactus, which we had bought in a back booth at one of the largest markets in town. The cactuses were sliced, mashed, steeped and the liquid squeezed out through a cloth. Said liquid tasted like shit, but from then on it was pretty cool............until puke, then sleep, then waking up the next morning wondering what the hell happened. Probably not ever goign to do it again, but if I had it to do all over again, I probably would 
If you're going to do anything, leave the Peyote cactuses out in the wild...like someone said, they are endangered. You can get buttons online and grow them yourself, it'll probably be worth the wait. Also, the only people who can use peyote these days are members of the Native American Church, which is sortof a pan-indian religion, as I understand it. It is made up of many beliefs from many different tribes from all across North America. Marty |
