The plants are native to regions in Mexico and southern parts of the USA. The laws keep changing so all others should be aware of what your own countries policies are before making an order. Until the roots are well established the seedlings must not be left dry for extended periods – this winter I almost killed off last years stock of Lophophora fricii seedlings by leaving them dry for 5 weeks! The Links on the left will take you directly to your page of preference whether you are shopping for seeds, plants, or information. Both Acharagma species were started from seed in spring 2009.

Today I’m glad I did as the balcony and the flower boxes with it has been completely covered in snow for the last couple of days – and I’m not sure if that would become the peyote plants well. The effects of mescaline are somewhat similar to those brought about by other psychedelics like Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms, DAT containing plants or synthetic hallucinogens like LSD-25. Therefore it is best not to take the dosage all at once, but to build it up gradually: take half of the dosage, wait 60 to 90 minutes to see what the effect is, then if desired take half of what is left over and if necessary repeat.
