What is it and what I get after mocrodosing of San Pedro (Wachuma) cactus?
San Pedro (Echinopsis pachanoi or Trichocereus pachanoi)
History notes
Although Roman Catholic Church authorities after the brutal Spanish conquest attempted to suppress Wachuma’s use, this greatly failed, as it is shown by the Christian element in the common name Saint Peter (San Pedro) cactus. The name is attributed to the belief that just as St Peter holds the keys to heaven, the effects of Wachuma allow users “to reach heaven while still on earth.”
In 2022 CE, the Peruvian Ministry of Culture declared the traditional use of Wachuma in northern Peru as cultural heritage.
And finally anybody pregnant, or/and on prescribed medication for depression, anxiety, bipolar or psychotic disorders, and with high blood pressure or other cardiovascular problems should avoid taking Wachuma.
Mescaline is an illegal substance in many countries, and we do not encourage or condone its use where it is against the law. This guide is designed to ensure the safety of those who decide to use mescaline legally.
Flores Choke Naun Hesus
Wachuma – contains a number of alkaloids including mescaline (from 0.053% up to 4.7% of dry cactus weight), and also 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine, 3-Methoxytyramine, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenethylamine, 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, anhalonidine, anhalinine, hordenine, and tyramine.
The highest concentration of these active substances is found in the layer of green photosynthetic tissue just beneath the skin.
Microdosing Wachuma (San Pedro)
Microdosing Wachuma induces an entheogenic aka psychedelic non ordinary state of consciousness comparable to those produced by magic mushrooms but with unique characteristics.
Subjective effects may include altered thinking and feeling processes, non ordinary sense of time, space and self-awareness, altered body and landscape image, closed- and open-eye visual phenomena, mixing of senses (synesthesia, such as “seeing a sound” or “hearing colours”), pupil dilatación, euphoria, laughter, dream-like state, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea (part of the cleansing and spiritual aid), tachycardia, dizziness, flashbacks etc.
The neurotransmitters (mainly serotonin and dopamine) that Wachuma activates affect how one feels, thinks and process information, which can definitely have positive life changing effects on the intrapersonal, interpersonal, professional and social levels.
Microdosing Wachuma helps one to become more active and alert, sharpens one’s senses, reduces anxiety and depression and addictions of all sorts, creates overall sense of wellness, increases higher levels of creativity, more energy, heightened focus, improved various skills such as lucid dreaming, provides physical endurance for sports and manual labour, increased empathy and compassion, becoming more conscious of one’s life, actions are reactions, and heightens one’s spiritual awareness.
Microdosing Wachuma is a happy, positive, enjoyable and ‘illuminating’ therapeutic practice and requires much patience and painstaking careful observation in order to to reach the ‘ideal’ dose and regimen for each and every person.
