Trichocereus (T. pachanoi, T. peruvianus) to get high!
Nope, don't have that one. I suspect I will eventually, but am not actively persuing any cacti.
Because of my limited space, I now collect cacti as they come or are convenient. I usually pick up one or two each month at the cactus club meetings. Thanks to GeneS, I am usually able to pick up healthy, uncommon, properly identified plants at the raffle table.
This keeps me at a slower pace that allows for my lack of room for more. Also saves money!

All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti
Thank you! Very kind! Before I take you up on that offer, however, I need to get better at growing from seed. I plan on setting up a little incubator that I can use to ensure a more controlled environment. I want to get some common seeds to make it before going to more unusual ones. I am the consistent killer of seedlings.

here is a great site for growing these wonderful creatures:

and another wonderful site for the entheogenic and medicinal uses of cacti, although some what incomplete:

i have been growing a san pedro for a while now. it is so beautiful to watch it grow and develop, especially since it will add many inches over the summer!

I must admit, close to 15 years ago I had an interest in this and other plants for their chemical constituencies, but as with all cacti once you start to grow them they take on a whole new meaning as the cultivation and collection hobby grows and you learn to enjoy the particular aesthetics of them.
My book, though a minor publication at that, is an attempt to draw together the existent information (particularly on the dozen or more non-Lophophora "peyote") and help clarify what is an incredible degree of confusion. It is an academic work and not one for those looking to get "high." I do not advocate such use at all.

Hey Michael,
Very interesting! I did not make the connection that you were the author. (I'm not usually that slow, honest!) Anyway, looks like a worthy piece none-the-less. I must say that I do like learning about related information in addition to just the names of plants and where they grow.
