Gimme Some Cactus Help Dudes..

[cryptix420]

So, on my walk today, I saw a big group of cacti growing. It looked like ones I've seen in pictures (and I'm dying to try mescaline) so I took the smallest branch. I felt a little bad, but I wanted the damn cactus. Lol.

Anyway, I've been researching trying to figure out if it's the right one, but I can't find anything definitive. I tasted it and it's not really super bitter but it is just a little bit, sorta like soap maybe. Do non-magical ones taste like a regular vegetable?

If I just eat the damn thing, is there any poisonous cacti out there that I might have gotten and I could die?

Thanks for the help guys.

Dude, don't eat random cacti.

Well, given the wide availability and cheap price of ordering online... I'd say it'd be better to just do that than to eat random cacti. I doubt there are many cacti that could give you any SERIOUS physical ailments, but you could get very sick/have a very unpleasant experience with some nonpsychoactive cacti, is my guess.

Probably won't kill you, it will just make you vomit your guts up for 24-36 hours and have no trip whatsoever.

you should know better than trying to eat random shit you cant identify in hopes of getting fucked up.

^ Well if it was a plant, but this is cacti. Cacti are generally quite nutritious regardless.

Cacti are still plants & many of them shouldn't be eaten.

To identify San Pedro, look for plants that grow straight up. Needles are short and rest in v-shaped notches on the rips. Ribs are rounded. Plants with a slight blueish hue are often thought to be more potent.

Mmmmmm

Taste sounds about right. If your cactus looked anything like this, odds are its a Trichocereus. Many are active, but the ones that aren't shouldn't kill you. That said, I have identified and consumed wild san pedro, but I wouldn't recommend eating a plant that you don't believe you can positively identify.

Here's one with some nice flowers
