what is payote? anyway, if you're thinking of the endangered psychedelic cactus, then check erowid.org for information.
peyote's like super strong acid, with more visual's and body trip's. its quite "the shit" as i have been told anyway this should be posted in cacti delcti forum to psyches
Good legal substitutes for peyote are San Pedro and Peruvian Torch. I've tripped on San Pedro several times, but it tastes so nasty I can't get down enough for anything more than a mild trip. I'll be looking into extracting the mescaline the next time, a lot easier to take a pill full of crystals than chugging slimy, bitter cactus tea. Oh, and this belongs in the Cacti Delecti sub-forum, not Magic Mushrooms.
San Pedro and Perv Torch are better then peyote because they are very fast growing cacti so a small garden will produce doses for you all year long and they are legal. Peyote grows ridiculously slow and can take years to produce one dose unless you graph them to a periskiopsis or other fast growing cacti....and it is illegal (but a very pretty cacti) Extraction of mescaline can be done with household chemicals you can get at home depot. That being said.....go to the cacti forum
