grafting peyote, does it still contain mescaline?

[Ultima]

hey i was just wondering if you graft a peyote to a san pedro, or whatever cacti you decide, does the peyote still contain mescaline? or does it somehow become like the cacti its growing on? id like a little info on that.. also, when grafting, i saw a vid that says you use a small amount of super glue.. is that a good idea?

Grafting is only "meat" and water building! By this way your cacti grow size will be like three years for one year of normal growth(for three years grafing he will reach his maximum size). But cacti is out of mescaline! You need his own roots for mescaline production. And bout glue grafting? Small part of glue can't do damage, only help! Because if Peyote doesn't holds up right he will dry out and root!

so if i were to graft a peyote to a pedro, and i let it grow for say.. 5 years, then cut it and put it back into the soil and rooted it.. after another year or so would it contain mescaline?

Yes, but so low amount, significant! Cacti needs minimum 3-4 years for right roots developing and alkaloid production! And second, you can't equalize home grown cacti with nature one! :wink:

Use it as shrine, nice look, etc. And forget eating it.
Only if you buy 3-5 more like this one then you can try to eat and trip on it.

from Psychedelic Shamanism by Jim DeKorne

Since peyote grows so slowly, one can quadruple the growth rate by splicing a button to a similar diameter limb of a T. pachanoi or any other Trichocereus. This is done by carefully cutting each surface perfectly flat and smooth before grafting them. Until the graft takes, the peyote button may be held to the surface of the Trichocereus by spreading multiple strings with small weights attached to them across the top of the button. A light ring of petroleum jelly should be painted around the cut to prevent desiccation of the contacting surfaces.

In four years the button will be very large. It may then be cut off, re-rooted and returned to the soil. Sometimes you get new pups coming out the side of your original graft, thus forming double, sometimes triple heads. I once saw five buttons growing from one root.

Instead of using poisonous glue you could nail it on or use a tacker . I`vbe never tried welding it on , maybe that would work better .

Peyote produces mescaline and grafting it on another cactus doesnt stop it doing that or make it produce more than it did before size for size .
