Known as the sacred San Pedro cactus, Trichocereus pachanoi has been used in the Andes for centuries in traditional ceremonies. Native to the high-altitude regions of Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia, this revered cactus contains a variety of alkaloids, most notably mescaline.
Our product consists of naturally dried outer tissue (skin and top layer of flesh only), the part traditionally used in shamanic rituals. This is where the plant's highest concentration of active alkaloids is found, making it a potent and respected choice among psychonauts and ceremonial practitioners alike.
San Pedro cactus is traditionally prepared by brewing or extracting the dried skin. Compared to Peyote, San Pedro generally contains lower levels of mescaline, which contributes to its reputation as being a gentler and more heart-opening experience. The effects are described as earthy, deeply introspective, and visually rich.
For ceremonial use, San Pedro is best consumed in a natural, peaceful setting—preferably outdoors or in a space with candlelight and incense to support introspection and connection with the sacred.
The mescaline content in San Pedro can vary significantly between specimens. A typical dose is approx. 10 grams of dried outer tissue, equal to about 0.3–0.8g of mescaline depending on individual sensitivity and cactus origin. Always begin with a lower dose to assess your reaction.
