Proper Peyote Harvesting

1. Hi Ted, I have been growing 8 plants from seed for 13 years now in pots. I will never take plants from the wild even though I have traveled to the USA. I have yet to try peyote and am waiting patiently for the right opportunity and teacher to guide me to a space where I might be lucky enough to have a journey with this medicine. I treat your knowledge, culture and understanding of this sacred medicine with the highest respect. Love & respect from South Africa. I hope you have success in educating the ignorant.
2. The problem with western society, is that the average person does not respect nature. They don't respect old traditions, they don't respect others beliefs. Several years ago in the Amazon an American company was trying to cut down their holy caapi vines and attempted to patent it for scientific purposes.
   
   I wish people would realize we are all the same. We should work together to take care of the only planet we have, that we have existed on for millenia. When the plants die, the animals die. When the animals die, we die.
   
   The money made by the destruction of our homes is the downfall of all mankind.
   It was certainly the downfall of the old celt ways for the most part.
   Those were my people.
   The druids told stories and passed them down through generations, but most if not all were killed because people wanted power, land, wealth.
   
   Nothing good comes from abusing our only habitat.
   I truly hope that one day people will understand that you can't simply ban plants that have existed for thousands of years.
   
   Next what will they ban?
   Certain foods? Water? Life?
   
   Just things to consider.
   I wish you all the best, truly!
3. Does this work for all cacti like a. fissuratus?
4. well there has been plenty of seed stocks of all plants for hundreds of years, there is no way peyote could ever be extinct, and people will always have the cacti at home, i have 2 peyote clusters, im just wondering will me smoking a joint in the same room as them be bad for them? its not really smokey but still.
5. if you leave the apex (vegetation point) intact, not cut too deeply or at an angle to leave the middle where the wool is, then the main plant in the middle will grow back quickly and also it will get 4 or 5 small palnts out of the root. Do not cut too deep and leave the wooly part in the middle intact
6. legalize it and grow it by the masses
7. The best way to save these species and subspecies is to petition for the nonsense laws around this plant to be lifted.  Allow it to be cultivated by those whom wish to use it and allow conservationists to cultivate and plant the thing because it was here well before any human. 
   
   This isn't something that people will turn into a weekend drug.  Nothing bad will happen if it's legal.  It's legal in most of the world or laws around it are ignored.  
   
   I live in a country were I can buy a gun, yet be in prison over a cactus... A fucking cactus.
8. I know I am so late but can someone please answer my question, ok so when you cut the peyote how long can it be conserved till it no longer will have effect? 
9. Peyote is a sacred plant and should be treated as such. You don't take peyote for it's "psychedelic radness", peyote takes you on a spiritual journey, as explained in the video. I would want to harvest my own peyote, so thank you for this video.
10. Hi I just have a question or two Hope you read all comments. First one. What kind of medicine is this? What does it cures? I tought it was used just to have a trip. Get high.
    Second question. If it takes too long to grow. Is getting more difficult to find it in the wild because of the great demand of it. Why is not allowed to grow it from seeds in every home garden. ????or it is??? I would love to grow some for my own health care!! Well is medicine right??? Thanks
11. I actually had a very interesting experience with peyote. I must have had at least 3 giant bulbs when I was 17. I had to boil it first for like half an hour. It was given to me by a close friend at the time and it was my first time trying peyote. I was kinda sceptical at first cause when i saw it, cause it kinda looked like something my grandma would use in her Caldos. That's soup for the caucasian readers. So basically i drank the water first and waited a while. I guess i was expecting a quick reaction. After 20 min. I decided to eat the bulbs. All 3 of them, my friend had told me that it would feel like dreaming awake. I clearly was not told how much of it to take so i used "my better judgement". I wanted to experience something out of this world and was a little disappointed when after an hour I wasn't feeling any different. I kinda figured it was probably because i had been smoking alot of pot and just had a higher tolerance. Feeling bored, i called up some friends and asked if anyone wanted to go catch a movie. Now, it starts to get fuzzy by this point. I remember getting in my friends car, driving to pick up 2 more friends, then all of a sudden we're in the theatre with the movie about to start. I had the tub of popcorn in my hands, but i don't remember how i got it. Or if i paid for it or one of my friends. As a matter of fact i don't even remember buying a ticket. I do remember what movie we went to go see, Scooby Doo Monsters Unleashed. Yeah, we had smoked a phat ass blunt before going cause we didn't know what was playing or at ehat time. Kinda spontaneous on our part. Then, 15 maybe 20 min into the movie i blackout. I woke up to what i could only assume was the middle, blackedout again, came to, not really knowing where I was for like a second,focused on the screen to see Scrappy Doo turned into a giant monster. I Freaked the Fuck Out! Immediately Blacked out a third time. This time my friends were waking me up telling me the movie was over. And i remembered being kinda pissed that i slept through the whole movie. So as we were walking outside to the car i can see the carpet on the walls rippling like water i didn't say anything i just keept walking. When we opened the exit doors it was around 4:30 in the afternoon, and the sky was just the most amazingly purpulest purple i had ever seen. I felt like time slowed down to a crawl. We had parked the car right outside the exit, no more than 20 feet away. But at that moment, it felt like miles away. I turn to see if my friends were seeing and feeling what i felt, but then i realized that i was the only one who ate the peyote. I had a deep conversation with myself as we walked to that car. Then, as I'm still looking at this gorgeous sky with not a cloud to be seen. I started staring directly at the sun. Now, im from South Texas and it was the middle of summer so needless to say it was 104 degrees easily. And i stared strat into that big fiery ball in the sky. I also noticed a huge snake floating across the sky straight towards the Sun. It opened it's mouth and in one quick motion, swallowed the Sun whole. I got really scared after that because the giant snake had noticed me watching and started flying down from the sky. It's mouth wide open ready to swallow me like it did the Sun. I quickened my pace for the car not really telling anyone anything. I knew it was the peyote kicking my ass and i didn't want my friends to make fun of me. So i finally made it to the car, as i could see and hear the giant snake getting closer i somehow thought that being inside the car would protect me. When the others start to get in too i lost track of the snake, but then i get super nauseous. My buddy sits down right next to me as i start to feel the peyote coming back up. I open the door and yack my guts out. I started to come down after that. All in all it was an experience i will never forget.
12. So by doing it the right way you actually end up with more over time, cool, too bad I'm not in Texas or the southwest
13. It won't be long before there is no more left for those who seek a spiritual awakening.
14. Where will we go after the Garden is gone?  Its up to our generation to save our sacred medicine.

16. Thank you for posting this. I love that so many seek the healing power of peyote, but I fear that many do not have the proper respect for the plant.
