"The ceremonial use of the peace pipe is a simple ritual. The peace pipe serves as a portable altar. It is loaded with tobacco, and only tobacco, or a tobacco variation called kinnic kinnick , which is the bark of the red willow and non-hallucinatory. The bark of the red willow has a pleasant aroma, and served in the old days as a substitute, when tobacco was scarce on the great plains."
"calumet [Fr.,=reed], name given by the French to the peace pipe used by the indigenous people of North America for smoking tobacco; it consisted of a long, feathered stem, with or without a pipe bowl. Such pipes were considered sacred, offering communion with the animate powers of the universe and embodying the honor and the source of power of Native Americans who possessed them. Calumets were particularly used at the conclusion of peace treaties and in ceremonies of adoption. They served as ambassadors' credentials and were passports of safe-conduct wherever recognized. The pipes were principally used by the Dakotan (Siouan) and Algonquian peoples of the Great Plains and in the SE United States. However, pipes were used throughout most of North America, and communal smoking, wherever found, usually carried the guarantees of amity granted with food sharing."
The peace pipe dates back to the pre-columbian era and contained tobacco, and that is what the famous 'Walter Raleigh' brought back to europe.
The spread of peyote use to native american tribes north of mexico began in the late 19th century, starting with the Kiowa and Comanche who were experiencing the disintegration of their cultural traditions under the reservation system, long after the peace pipe had become 'famous'.
I've eaten both dried and fresh peyote, and I couldn't imagine smoking a psychoactive dose, but I suppose its possible.
psood0nym said:Peyote is small and bulbous, and is usually sold in "buttons." If you were sold 6 cm of a cactus you probably have san pedro or t. peruvianus--the mescaline content of which both vary considerably (though 6cm is an extremely small amount, even without knowing the diameter.)
