Peruvian Torch (Trichocereus peruvianus)

Another beautiful member of the "San Pedro" family, also known as the Peruvian Torch (Trichocereus peruvianus). This cactus has been used as a religious sacrament by a small number of Indian tribes in northern Peru. It’s probably the most powerful and magical specie from the Trichocereus family. The spines from this cactus are brown, but they turn grey as they get older.

T. peruvianus contains about the same concentration of mescaline as the San Pedro T. pachanoi cactus.

This cactus is a rapid and easy grower. It can be easily grown from seed. It tolerates a lot when it comes to its ideal growing circumstances. Therefore this cactus is perfect for the beginning cultivator. Under normal circumstances it will grow about 30 centimetres each year. In the summer it needs a lot of sun. A few hours of direct sunlight and the rest of the day indirect sunlight is the optimal sun exposure. When the roots have fully grown it needs only a little bit of water. Standard cactus soil will do for growing this species.

Peruvian Torch effects

Mescaline cacti allow you to explore your inner mind's world. They will give you a trip with spiritual, colourful visions and feelings of inner tranquillity, oneness with life, heightened awareness and rapid thought flow. The subject-object consciousness disappears, and you feel you are melting away in the sensory (mainly visual) perception. This comes mostly together with indescribable feelings of happiness.

Just because the amount of mescaline varies between different kinds of the Trichocereus genus, it is difficult to estimate how heavy the trip will be. This cactus will give a less threatening and overwhelming trip than Peyote, and it does not call on as much nausea as well.

Warning

Do not combine with alcohol, MAO-Inhibitors or other stimulants.
Do not use when pregnant, nursing, depressed, on medication, driving motorized vehicles, under 18 years old.
When you're using Peruvian Torch make sure there's someone with you to assist you when necessary.
