when i was out fighing the "war on drugs" with the coast guard.. i met a guy who was bure blooded navajo.. from what he said they were allowed to harvest them and use them legally... i have lost contact with him.. but i would guess if you knew anyone of native american decent who had ties to a res... you might get a lead towards some

good luck

i looked up san pedro. nice. slice and boil for 7 hours drink in ceremony. sounds good. i have checked on peyote. i just vaguely remember they take a looooong time. i was just talking to the wife a few days ago about cocoa plants. i did the poppies this year and they are pretty flowers but the petals fall off in 2 days. i have hella seeds. i'm getting very interested in exotics for next springs planting.

cacti guys, cacti; this is about growing and learning, not getting obliterated.

peyote is endangered, which is why i chose to get it. san pedro and peruvian torch are both 100% legal, as long as you don't ingest them. as a matter of fact, they are sold at walmart and lowes annually.

i was going to have only legal cacti, and wanted torch and pedro for their massive size. supposedly they can survive the winters here. when i did some reading and found out how scarce and rare peyote is in the wild now, and the ancient strains that are now extinct due to over harvesting (takes 15-20 to grow to maturity, as fdd stated), i felt obligated to do my part to preserve the plant. others are doing the same all over the place.

the seeds are available all over the place, a simple search will connect you with many of them. shamanic extracts and errowid are two i can think of off hand...

hi knowm!!
