Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Peyote has been used ceremonially by the native peoples of the Americas as a spiritual medicine for close to 3,000 years.

Peyote and Other Psychoactive Cacti is a concise and readable guide to the art of cultivating peyote, San Pedro, and the numerous other entheogenic cacti. In light of the possible extinction of wild peyote, this book is a timely resource for those who feel a responsibility to preserve this sacred medicine.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

When harvesting Peyote, many people uproot the entire plant. This is unnecessary and wasteful. The roots contain no mescaline. Some of these plants have taken a long time to reach their size. A cactus three inches in diameter may be more than twenty years old. To collect peyote properly, the button must be cleanly decapitated slightly above ground level. When the roots are left intact, new buds will form where the old one was removed. These will eventually develop into full-size buttons, which may be harvested as before. If the new heads are not allowed to reach full size and flower, however, no seedling will be produced and eventually the roots will expire. Faulty harvesting methods have seriously depleted populations of this cactus. (Finding and Picking Peyote)

For any of you out there trying to harvest peyote..... QUIT PULLING THE WHOLE CACTUS UP, JUST CUT THE BUTTONS OF THE CACTUS OFF, YOU PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW THIS ARE KILLING A BEAUTIFUL THING. Other than that you probably won't find much than you already knew before you picked the book up.
