Texan Peyote Cactus Caps Dried – 700mg

Please read the important information below or refer to our user guides that are available on the site or the pamphlet that is included with product after purchase.

Peyote and San Pedro are both cacti which have long been
revered for their psychoactive effects and spiritual benefits.
The active ingredient in both cacti is mescaline. A mescaline
trip is a very powerful experience and should be treated with
respect. The experience is characterized by visual effects,
personal insights and positive feelings.

Mescaline is often seen as a social psychedelic, because it’s more likely to make
you feel conversational, confident and energized.
Many factors contribute to a mescaline experience, including
dose, mindset, environment, and method of consumption.

Here’s some guidance on how to use these cacti safely.

CHEMISTRY Mescaline is structurally similar to LSD. It binds
to serotonin receptors, especially serotonin 2A. Persons
using SNRI and SSRI anti-depressants will sometimes find
reduced effects from peyote.

DOSAGE A noticeably psychoactive dose of mescaline is
between 200 to 400 milligrams. Dried peyote will usually
contain about 5-6% mescaline by weight (50-60mg per gram).
San Pedro will contain about 2-3% (20-30mg per gram).

Here are some dosing guidelines:

MICRODOSING A “microdose” of 1-3g peyote can be
taken for gentle mood enhancement, and to treat con-
ditions like depression and PTSD. If using peyote in this
way on a regular basis, it is best to take at least 2 days
between doses. Start with a 1g dose, and increase doses
as necessary until finding desired effect.

Microdose 0.5g – 2g 1g – 3g
Standard Psychedelic Dose 4g – 8g 7g – 14g
High Psychedelic Dose 10g – 20g 16g – 32g

This is only a rough guide. The amount of mescaline in a
peyote cactus can vary widely, and factors like body weight
and the user’s mental state can also affect perceived potency.

PEYOTE EFFECTS TIMELINE

This is an approximate guide to the timeline of peyote effects.

This can be affected by things like body-weight and mode of consumption. Do not get
impatient and take more until at least 2 hours after dosing.
Higher doses will tend to last longer.

Approximate Time After Dose
60-90 min: physical discomfort begins
90-120 min: psychological effects begin
3-5 hours: psychological effects peak,
physical discomfort reduced
5-8 hours: psychological effects persist
8-12+ hours: psychological effects fade

It’s best to take peyote earlier in the day or you may be up
all night. It is best to have at least two days set aside for a peyote
experience. One day for the actual peyote trip, and a second
day to reintegrate and fully absorb the peyote experience.

CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
• Peyote and San Pedro are powerful substances.
Treat the peyote experience with respect.
• Store peyote and peyote tea in a secure manner.
Keep away from children!
• People with a history of mental illness should avoid peyote.
• Do not drive, swim, climb or engage in any risky activities
after taking peyote or san pedro.
• It is always best to have a reliable and trusted person pres-
ent for your peyote trip, someone who is not taking peyote.
• If you have not taken a psychedelic before, start with a low
dose and see how you feel. Then, if you like, take a larger
dose for your second trip.
• There are diminishing returns with larger doses. Doses
above 40g peyote will be more likely to produce negative
feelings without increased positive effects.
• Do not combine peyote with alcohol or other drugs.

CAUTIONS
Use peyote in a place and environment where you feel
comfortable and safe.
You will be emotionally and physically vulnerable
during a peyote trip. Do not use these products with
people that you don’t know well or do not trust. Your
mindset and your environment are the most important
things in having a positive experience.
Consuming peyote or san pedro can often cause feel-
ings of nausea, so it is best to consume them on an
empty stomach. Drinking ginger tea before consuming
peyote can also reduce nausea. The nausea is caused
by the cactus, not by mescaline itself.

USAGE
Dried peyote is typically chewed or brewed as a tea.
If chewing peyote, it is best to slowly chew the pieces
one by one, sucking out the juices in your cheek before
swallowing. The taste is extremely bitter. You can drink
ginger tea during this process.

If making peyote tea, you should add 5g powdered
peyote and 1tbs lemon juice per cup of boiling water.

Cover and simmer at low heat for 4-5 hours, stirring
regularly. If water reduces below half, add more water.
After simmering, allow it to cool. The mixture will now
be thick and slimy. Strain the mixture through a coffee
filter or cheesecloth. Squeeze all the liquid out. This
extracted liquid is peyote tea.

You can drink the tea cold, but it is more palatable to
reheat this tea and add sweetener before drinking. Be
warned that this tea is very bitter and has an unpleasant
taste. You can mix with mint or ginger, or add sugar or
honey to improve the taste if you wish.
Simmer tea again to reduce liquid if desired. You can
store peyote tea in the fridge for a week or in freezer indefinitely.

Please be careful when storing peyote tea
and keep away from children!

PEYOTE EFFECTS The first effects of peyote are usually
felt within 40-60 minutes after consumption. Be patient.
The experience will often begin with some discomfort,
such as nausea, tummy pains, sweating or chills. You
might feel like you want to vomit. These physical symp-
toms can last up to two hours, but usually do not persist
longer than this.

Psychological and psychedelic effects usually begin
within 2 hours, reach a peak after 4 hours, then slowly
decline for the next 8+ hours.
Peak effects compare to LSD, and can profoundly alter
one’s perceptions of self and reality, while intensify-
ing emotions. Common experiences include feelings of
euphoria, empathy, creativity, oneness and self-realiza-
tion. However, some people can experience “bad trips”
with negative emotions and self-doubt.
Negative effects can include rapid heartbeat, dizziness,
diarrhea and headaches. Drinking water can sometimes
help to reduce these symptoms. Lie down if needed.
Visual effects are common, including seeing geomet-
ric patterns and “melting” or “breathing” environments.
Sometimes the user perceives seemingly autonomous
entities. Sometimes there are auditory effects.

It’s best not to consume peyote alone. This is especially
true for your first few times. Alone or in a group, it is
always best to have someone present who has experi-
ence with psychedelic states and is not using peyote.
If you are having a negative experience, do not panic.
Despite intense physical and psychological effects,
peyote is a very safe substance and extremely unlikely
to cause any long-term harm. Any unpleasant physical
or psychological effects are likely to pass soon. Be calm,
drink water and lie down. Pleasant music can also help.
