Ethically harvested in the Peruvian Andes at 2,500m elevation, this is traditional dried outer tissue (100% skin only) from Trichocereus peruvianus, also known as Peruvian Torch cactus. This fragrant, alkaloid-rich botanical is prepared in the same way as it has been for generations by local shamans and medicine carriers for spiritual ceremonies.
All active alkaloids are concentrated in the outer green skin layer. Our preparation excludes the inner white core, which contains no alkaloids. This ensures you receive only the most potent part of the cactus. Each batch is carefully de-spined, hand-sliced, and sun-dried in traditional methods by local farmers and elders (“abuelos y gentiles”) in Peru.
Used for centuries in Andean healing ceremonies, Trichocereus peruvianus shares a similar alkaloid profile to Peyote. It is a revered entheogen used to induce deep introspection, emotional clarity, and visionary states. Traditionally consumed as a tea or decoction, it is often brewed for many hours and sipped slowly in ceremonial settings.
A standard spiritual or entheogenic dose is approximately 10 grams of dried cactus skin. Potency varies with cactus age and source. Some users may require more or less depending on bodyweight and sensitivity. Begin with a lower amount and increase cautiously over time.
Warning: Higher doses (above 1.5g of mescaline) may lead to adverse effects, including liver stress or respiratory complications. Always use with caution, knowledge, and respect.
