I experienced the beauty and subtlety of the Peruvian sacred medicine Huachuma on my last trip to the sacred Valley in Peru.
After drinking 2 cups of it prepared by the Shaman’s apprentices and going outside, I felt a lightning of being iand a deep connection with the plants and trees around me on the banks of the sacred river.
I drank 2 cups and then later thought this is very mild, but wonderful. I decided to drink another cup and then later it caught up with me!
The San Pedro cactus contains mescaline and other alkaloids.
But it’s more than the sum of its chemicals. It felt like the cactus was so connected to that place and time and the skillful preparation of the drink, I felt welcomed and at home.
The pictures you see were taken on a country road in Salinas, California. I was driving by and out of the corner of my eye I saw a 50 foot living fence of the sacred cactus all in full bloom..
One of the most mind blowing plant experiences I can recall.
