This tissue makes consuming cacti a lot easier. No spines. 'Tissue' consists of only the outer layer of skin and a small part of this flesh or tissue just below the skin. They are the most desired part of this cactus because the highest concentration of mescaline is to be found here. Also this part is used traditionally by the Indians for divinatory purposes.

The San Pedro is often recommended among psychonauts, because of its smooth and friendly trip compared to that of Peyote.

Effects

Mescaline cacti allow you to explore your inner fantasyworld. They will give you a trip with spiritual, colourful visions and feelings of inner tranquility, oneness with life, heightened awareness and rapid thought flow. The subject-object consiousness disappears, and you feel you are melted away in the sensory (mainly visual) perception. This comes mostly together with undescribable feelings of happiness. Just because the amount of mescaline varies between different kinds of the Trichocereus genus, it's hard to tell how heavy the trip will be. Anyhow this cactus will give a less treatening and overwhelming trip than Peyote, and its starts slowly but continually without too much nausea.
