Stenocereus Ritterocereus Hystrix (28 grams)

Stenocereus ritterocereus hystrix – Rare Entheogenic Cactus

Stenocereus ritterocereus hystrix is one of the rarest and most fascinating cacti known to contain entheogenic alkaloids comparable to Lophophora williamsii (Peyote) and Trichocereus peruvianus (Peruvian Torch).

This species is native to the West Indies, making it the only cactus outside of Mexico and South America confirmed through HPLC, GC/MS and TLC analyses to contain mescaline-like compounds. Chemically, it aligns closely with Peyote and is a remarkable alternative where Peyote is unavailable or restricted.

Traditional Use & Preparation

This cactus can be prepared traditionally by making a ceremonial brew from the dried skin:

• Grind approx. 10g of dried cactus skin
• Boil in 250ml of water with juice from 2 lemons for 30 minutes
• Strain the liquid through a cloth and save
• Repeat the process once more with fresh water and 1 lemon
• Combine both extractions and consume slowly over 30–60 minutes

Tip: Best experienced in a calm, nature-connected environment with incense and candlelight to facilitate introspective journeys.

Dosage Guidance

Potency may vary per cactus. A typical ceremonial dose is approx. 10 grams of dried outer tissue, estimated to yield 0.3–0.8 grams of mescaline. Dosage should be adjusted based on body weight and personal sensitivity.

Important Considerations

• Do not mix with alcohol, medications, or other substances
• Not suitable for individuals with psychological or heart conditions
• Consume slowly to monitor personal tolerance and reduce nausea
