Trichocereus Spachianus (28 grams)

Trichocereus Spachianus – Rare Columnar Cactus with Alkaloids

Freshly harvested from our private cactus farm! Trichocereus spachianus is a striking columnar cactus native to Argentina and a proud member of the Cactaceae family. Also known as “Golden Torch” or “Hairy Torch,” this beautiful species is named after the Greek words thrix (hair) and cereus (torch). In Europe, it’s affectionately referred to as “colonnari” for its upright, towering growth.

Though not as widely recognized as San Pedro or Peruvian Torch, Trichocereus spachianus contains a fascinating spectrum of alkaloids including mescaline, hordenine, N-methyltyramine, candicine, and tyramine. Ethnobotanical interest in this species continues to grow among plant collectors and ceremonial users alike.

Traditional Use & Preparation

Traditionally, the outer skin and flesh are dried and used to brew a ceremonial tea:

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

Ideal setting: Nature, candlelight, soft music or incense — always with intention and respect.

Dosage Guidance

Due to variability in alkaloid content, a typical dose ranges from 10 grams of dried outer tissue, which may yield 0.3–0.8g mescaline. Dosage should always be determined experimentally, depending on body weight and individual sensitivity.

Important Considerations

• Consume slowly to assess tolerance
• Not recommended for individuals with psychological or heart conditions
• Mescaline-rich cacti are sacred — always approach with care and reverence
