Hi,

Hello this is my first post! I'm planning on growing potted cactai in
my flat, I am often only at home on weekends so Cactai seem like the
ideal choice.

I am particularly interested in growing Peyote, however I understand
this can be difficult to cultivate so would like some advice. I
understand that even mature Peyote are relatively small so I can have a
few of them round the flat.

Any advice on watering, soil, pot size, food etc would all be welcome.
As well as any info on where I can pick up seeds or seedlings etc.

I'll also probably grow a San Pedro cactus, but I understand that these
are much easier to manage, also much larger so I will only have one!

Thanks in advance.

Bill I'd just ingest nutmeg in moderation.

Nutmeg tastes better also.......uh, so I hear.

Charlie


Hmmm. Nutmeg may taste better, but a tarte flambee, or a quiche Lorraine
with peyote would probably have better colors, eventually.



I haven't heard of it for years. I must be running in a different crowd
these days. It is renowned to be nasty tasting stuff though. I heard
once that people were reduced to peyote enemas, just to avoid the taste.
Fortunately, the large colon is very efficient at absorbing water, and I
guess, whatever is in it (the water). Just be sure to set aside 20 hours
for your "trip". It's not exactly a recreational experience, unless you
think a long conversation with God would be recreational.

Think I'll stick to Jameson, I'll have my talk with God soon enough.


Yeah, I also hear that emesis is involved (though I've heard similar
about Jameson's), given the oral route, but somehow it does seem
appropriate to worship at the ivory throne before engaging God in
conversation, doncha ya' think.

Anyone who thinks that plants, veggies, molds and such, that allow one
to experience "reality" with different eyes and wrest with God, as
simply recreational, is ignorant, to put it quite bluntly. One can
only assume that the legal prohibitions are in place because seeing
with other eyes allows one to see, perhaps, and hopefully forever,
past and through the social facade that has been constructed over the
millenia in order to keep the great unwashed in line. Can't have that
now, can we? Activates and precisely calibrates one's bullshit meter,
I hear.

You mention a period of hours for the conversation and experience, but
I would think that, once having had the initial conversation, and
perhaps further conversations, that the memory and reality and effect
upon one would last, uh, oh........for a long time.

Old Jacob woulda been in prison nowadays for perhaps ingesting and
wresting with God, eh?

Stanford U. did some interesting experiments with LSD (kinda, sorta,
similar). Group of priests got a religious experience, only problem was
that it wasn't Christian, and a group of terminally ill folks came to
acceptance in another study. Eventually, we will return to see what
there is to see at the Doors of Perception.

Course this kind of behavior doesn't fit into a rational, consumer
society. Made that oxymoron up, all by myself;O)

Why ponder the universe, when you gotta get up at 6 AM to go to a
dead-end job you hate?
