i have heard horra storys of iggnorant law men spraying vast fealds of cacti with weedkiller there could be meny numbers of cacti unknow that died i dont think theres any harm in growing plants as spesimins theres lots of plants that would be nice to grow here but i cant with umbells of blue flowers and plamate leaves but all ive got from that family is hops the only problem is hybrids that in the end will be so toxic they will kill you its like the potatoe that was poisonous a long time ago now weve got 100s of edibul variations its strange the world of plants did you know there's about 30 or 40 cacti considerd by the native tribes of mexico as peyote or there sometimes called some thing else here http://entheogen.netfirms.com/articles/ ...

when you say "echinopsis bridgesii" are you talking about "Trichocereus bridgesii"? they are different plants. T. bridgesii is now Echinopsis lageniformis. T. peruvianus is another very common one used for its mescaline.
you also left out Lophophora diffusa...different chemical makeup but still important.
also may be interested in this article by M S Smith.

Hi, nice thing to get into. At least when you are explaining to non-cacti people why you are growing these plants, you can tell them about the history behind these 'sacred plants'
Trichocereus bridgesii is supposedly very potent, far more so than San pedro and also, although it wouldnt have existed at the time, its monstrose form (aka penis plant) also shares the same chemical makeup, but is even more potent and concentated due to its far slower growth rate. Also Tricho. peruvianus, scopulicola (similar to pachanoi) and spachianus.
Also dont forget Gymnocalycium Ragonesii, Lophophora echinata diffusa (doesnt contain mescaline but does have other chemicals and effects), many Turbinicarpus, Gymnocactus sp. (syn. Turbinicarpus now i think.) astro myriostigma and asterias, other epithelantha (bokei etc.) and micromeris varieties. Soon you will have a great collection of 'scared plants'

Something i forgot, info about Trichocereus spachianus (aka spachiana).Alos known as Golden Torch Cereus. Commonly grown but little known in terms of its qualities. search google and you will find heaps of info. Heres some from 'Sharmanic Extracts': Contains: hordenine, N-methyltyramine (.007%), candicine (.01%), mescaline, tyramine.

Peyote seeds
I want to grow peyote cause I think they are gorgeous and I love the history behind them. I'm sort of paranoid about doing this though . . . Eh? Where's a good place to get the seeds? I'm new to all of this by the way.

Hey Vinny, welcome here. We've discussed this topic quite a few times -as in the thread you've already found. Do a search on Lophophora using the search feature above, and you'll find tons of info. Still if you have questions beyond - ask away!
All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti
