Preparing Peyote (Lophophora Williamsii) and Myself For Ceremony

  • 12 years ago
There is a lot more to it than just chopping them up, like the bee and the honey there is some work to be done beforehand involving the plants, preparation and time taken are important.

L. Williamsii is the most potent of all mescaline containing cacti, containing upwards of 60 different alkaloids, and is the only species known to be used for hallucinogenic activity in cultural settings.

Lophophora has had one of the oldest, most colourful and convoluted backgrounds of any plant, most likely due to its mescaline carrying properties. In fact, it seems that recent radio carbon dating (October 2005) on two individual samples (dated to the calendric time interval of around 3780-3660 BC) have made Lophophora the oldest known useable plant we have going. These samples were originally collected by Native Americans in the Rio Grande area due to there mescaline carrying properties, and were found in the Shumla Caves of Texas.
