Is this cactus mescaline containing? Is it san pedro? Peruvian torch? The left looks more to me like san pedro but the right looks like peruvianus. What do you think? Can I test it to be sure? Thanks! http://i528.photobucket.com/albums/dd321/bwitt92/c55865f8.jpg
its a trichocereous thats for sure. i dont think its san pedro. they have more like a little spine that multi spikes. the thorns look like that of peruvianus. but it could be any kind. definately has mescaline in it as a lot of trichocereous do. the easiest way to find the mescaline content would be to do an extraction.
What type is it then? How could you tell it wasn't? Oh and they are much smaller in person, they have the circumference of an arm or skinny leg.
Could you explain the "little spine that multi spikes"? I have a few different candidates that I'm looking at that are slightly different so what would be different about this cactus in a real san pedro? (ex thicker spines etc.)
san pedro is usually more round. the one in the picture has like more like paneled chunks sticking out. look up pictures and compare if you feel like it. its really pretty hard to distinguish cacti apart if you dont know where the cactus is from. they vary depending on climate and such.
Thanks for your help! I'll probably ask about other possible ones in the future. I want to find one that more closely resembles what you said.
i usually tell them apart from the thorns. san pedro are tiny and there is usually what looks like one spine. peruvian has little clusters of blackish spines, and is more of a bluegreen color. i think cacti are the shit
