I just read about San Pedro cactus, which is said to be more effective than LSD and psilocybin for depression. It is also anti-inflammatory. I will share the links soon, but in the meantime, you can read up on it on a website called 'The Third Wave'. It's good for microdosing or macrodosing and readily available.

Hey Guest,
As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

Ive tried almost all psychedelics, Ayahuasca, shrooms, lsd, dmt, mdma and some other ones. My first cactus trip was by far the best and most healing experience i would say. I saw 2 spirits which were like pure peace, loved it and can agree. Since this i wanted to do it again but its not easy or cheap in my country to do it. Hugs
I have only tried Peyote so far, which was in a ceremony. The first time was powerful and interesting and the ceremony was beautiful. The second time I didn't feel the Peyote at all, don't know why.
It was strong, so I was pleased I did it in a group and with a Shaman.
San Pedro looks more gentle to take alone from what I've read - but everyone's experience is going to be different. When I tried Ibogaine at home (I do NOT recommend this), it was a low dose, but left me floored for a week. I do not recommend that at home! SP I have just ordered a book to learn more and will think it through. I have quite a lot of experience with plant medicines and psychedelics, mainly out of desperation, but sometimes I like to call myself a Shaman ;)
As ever YMMV.
Here is an extract from the Psychonaut Wiki. I have put the relevant paragraph in bold:
Mescaline was first isolated from peyote in 1897 by the German chemist Arthur Heffter.[5] The ritual use of the peyote cactus has occurred for at least 5700 years by Native Americans in Mexico and other mescaline-containing cacti such as the San Pedro have a long history of use in the South American continent, from Peru to Ecuador.[6] Mescaline is an important part of the life's work of the American chemist Alexander Shulgin, who used it as a starting point for synthesizing dozens of novel psychedelic compounds that are documented in his 1991 book PiHKAL ("Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved").[7]
Subjective effects include open and closed-eye visuals, time distortion, enhanced introspection, conceptual thinking, euphoria, and ego loss. Mescaline is generally considered to be one of the most gentle, insightful, and euphoric psychedelics. It is known for placing greater emphasis on bodily and tactile sensations (sometimes compared to MDMA) than psychedelic tryptamines like psilocybin or DMT, which tend to have a more frenetic headspace and dynamic visual geometry. It is considered to be one of the best agents for psychedelic therapy due to its mellow, organic, yet complex character. Synthetic mescaline is highly sought after by connoisseurs and is typically produced in limited batches, owing to its low potency and relatively high production cost.
Unlike other highly prohibited substances, mescaline has not been proven to be physiologically toxic or addictive.[8] Nevertheless, adverse psychological reactions such as anxiety, paranoia, delusions, and psychosis can still always occur, particularly among those predisposed to mental disorders.[9] Additionally, it should be noted that in street markets terms like "mescaline" or "synthetic mescaline" are commonly used as deceptive labels for other psychedelics (e.g. 2C-x, DOx, or 25x-NBOMe) that are typically more dangerous.[citation needed] It is highly advised to use harm reduction practices if using this substance.

Keep in mind that a cactus in a blender is going to taste like ass.
not that I know what that would taste like

I LOVE all the emerging research on psychedelics, and feel like an LSD trip followed up by an MDMA experience were very helpful in my healing journey. Thanks for sharing this info!

More like easily seizible by customs, if you don't live in the US or South America and don't have a few thousand dollars that you just don't need to fork over.
