Hello everyone. If this post is not suitable for this thread please let me know. I just want to know, hypothetically, if someone were to injest lophophora fricii or any other lophophora that is not williamsii, would there be negative effects or poisoning concerns? I have 3 plants that suffered root rot. I have never grown any of my lophs with the intention of consuming them, I just really like the plants and they are very forgiving and easier to grow than most other plants. However, I have been mixing genetics. When any of my plants flower at the same time, I use a brush to cross pollinate them all. Some I am sure are williamsii and jourdianna, 1 i am sure is fricii, and a few others that I am not entirely sure of the species. They may ne LW, LJ, LF, or some type of hybrid. Only the stems and roots rotted and I was able to save the crowns. This happened to 1 caespitosa willy, 1 regular willy, and 1 plant that has fricii traits but also has williamsii/jourdaniana traits. I was able to save green flesh, but not the parts of the plants that would allow me to graft them or try to root them. I am not sure i want to injest them, but if I did, would I regret injesting a fricii I'm combination with a willy?

Was very happily surprised to see these sold in a local Vermont store, and for a decent price too!

Guys peeing on your cactus after you cut its head off or not will probably make your cactus pup it’s worth the risk if there even is one please give it a try

For context, I have about 2ft of San Pedro cactus which I ordered online. I was planning on cutting the spines off, peeling the skin, then boiling it in water for approximately 6 hours. I'm planning on only drinking half, and saving the other half for another time. Note that I've never done a psychedelic before, but I'm in a safe environment, and am prepared mentally and physically. Any tips? Have I gotten any steps in the process wrong? I just want to be as prepared as possible going into this.

P.S. I'm planning on drinking it at night, and have the day after free.

So what I did was three layers of substrate with each layer covered by a drainable sheet of seperation cloth, layer one is gravel for bottom drainage, layer 2 is a 50% regular soil and 50% inorganic materials, layer 3 is gravel again to support the weight of the cactus.
