Talk Synopsis:
These tall, green, magic cacti already had a lot of confusing names - Trichocereus, Echinopsis, pachanoi, peruvianus, macrogonus, bridgesii… Then people started growing these cacti in Australia. The name games got even weirder - bogan, yowie, chemical shaman’s d**k, etcetera.
In this video, self-confessed cactus fiend Liam Engel will relentlessly bombard you with information and imagery concerning Australia’s iconic San Pedro cacti population. If you don’t grow San Pedro cacti, Liam will convince you that you should. If you already grow San Pedro cacti, Liam will convince you that you should grow more. If you still weren’t convinced, Part 2 provides a live question-and-answer session, providing Liam another opportunity to argue that NOW is always is the best time to grow and care for San Pedro.
Liam Engel Bio: Dr Liam Engel is an illicit drug researcher seeking to empower psychoactive ecologies and the people who use them. Liam works with ECU, UQ and RMIT, and spends his spare time figuring out how he can make room for more cacti.

Am I the only one who gets this guy's dry af humour? I'm in stitches
Yes, it is a very fun video 🤣
Oh it’s great
The most interesting characteristic I've noticed
is they make my heart feel happy just looking at
them growing in a field.
The harvested portions were for grafting purposes only.
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Apparently mescaline is an amphetamine! No good for people like me on daily blood pressure pills.
Loved the look on your face when you said, "I don't want to encourage you to do something illegal, especially not consuming San Pedro". I went into hysterics when you said, "cactus body shaming". Having said all that, thank you so much for the video. I wish you would come to Queensland and do some lectures. We need you up here, believe me!
Wow. Thank you, brother 🙏🏼! I love growing cactus for ornamental use. This is so helpful. ❤
Fabulous filming location!!! ahhh the gentle sway of a mature trich in the wind, you wave and they wave back.
This video made my day, thank you. I appreciate what you are doing and have inspired me to buy a san pedro and actually write a persuasive argument and I hope the best for you :)
Fabulous presentation, love the knowledge and the passion.
Great Video. Incredible San Pedro scenery...
Love the channel. I just subscribed. I have been working with San Pedro for about 15 years, and currently starting my own SP farm in Taos, New Mexico.
So much excellent information!
Great video, that's a lot of great information and most of it is correct.
Great video man! Thank you.
Yes Thankyou for the love of the plant
Awesome video man. Appreciate the info.
Amazing video, thank you for making this!
omg, what an amazing group of plants! Subscribed
"Alien antenna thing" bloody brilliant. The most in-depth detailed Pedro video I have come across, especially coming from Aus. Thanks mate keep them coming.
Best and funnest San Pedro video I've seen :)
Excellent!!! My favorite plant 🤩🤩 a gift from the gods
Fantastic stuff!
Wounderful!
Thank you
Thanks buddy for the cool video!!
The Opuntia Irradiation through Moths might be seen as one of Australia's biggest achievements. But it's somehow one of the biggest mistakes. OPUNTIA FICUS INDICA is one type of Opuntia that has very high nutritional value and very delicious fruits called KARMOUSS in Morocco.
Instead of killing all the Opuntias, our predecessors could have researched on how to incorporate the pads on our daily diet because one of it's health benefits is developing the skin's natural UV filtration which could address one of Australia's biggest challenge: Skin Cancer. All in all, I love you Mate. Thank you for making this very informative video. Let's be friends shall we
Every day I struggle to keep my O. Ficus indica well; it is constantly being hunted down by that blasted moth :-(
Good info.
OUTSTANDING VID. Thanks brother.
lol the ending message is great? I wish I could send you Colorado River Toad!
This is the most informative video of San Pedro I've come across and funny.
You are quite a character my friend 😂
Trichocereus Grandiflorus hybrids are my favorite! I have thousands of them. I grow from seed and pups from my own plants. I have bridgessi seedlings and had no idea they had that in them. I love my cacti and I just want to grow them for their beauty.
Sadly the money hungry people that run this chanel decided to sell out for mainstream media fame and bring unwanted attention to people like you and me who grow them for ornamental purposes. They are driven by pure ego. Read their article on the ABC, so sad how people put themselves before everyone else for their own gain
Thank you for being so knowledgeable about this wonderful plant. I do think it's funny though that Trichocereus isn't capitalized on your t-shirt, considering its the genus of our favourite cactus ;)
taxonomical nomenclature isn't supposed to be capitalized according to the infamous 1986 "decree of deez"
Genus is capitalized, species is not.
Nice CSD shirt!
Excellent content!! PhD level😎👍
BEAUTIFUOL
1) mescaline
2)...
3)...
4) profit
Here in Victoria, prickly pear is a government recognised PEST plant. My uncle had a HUGE one that would produce plenty of fruit, and I ate a lot as a kid. I know of a bunch near a since closed rubbish tip in the bush that fruits well, and REGARDLESS of the pest designation, these people down the road from me PLANTED HUNDREDS OF METERS of them on their boundary fence. Driving past last week, I could see they're all fruiting right now. They've got tons of olive trees and have essentially ignored the prickly pear within 2 years of planting. They don't pick the fruit or anything.
some people build fences of dissuasive cactus
@@julianchoque7402 back in the early 1900s in Queensland, there was so much prickly pear that the government employed people for 30 or 40 years to JUST dig it out. My mum read a book of the daughter of someone who was doing that job. They were trying to control it from spreading further. I think the land they were digging it out from was essentially desert anyway, likely never used for serious farming. But there's so many things classed as weeds here, they only try to reduce or enforce farmers to control a few of the worst of them.
They do very well in Boulder CO
As if this planet wasn't trippy enough as it was. But you did it man you certainly did ha!
P wow that's one hell of a stash you got wouldn't want to get drunk in that patch😂 just started growing these about 2 months ago but a whole bunch of a guy that was getting rid of them from can
Kool video mate. Just wondering about the nutritional content of the fruit? Do they also contain mescaline? The inside kinda looks like a dragon fruit. So maybe it has sum medicinal benefits?
Great vid! Also, alkaloid content can be increased by intentional stressing of the parent plant ; )
I’ve noticed cloning makes them more potent...
This is beautiful.
Also I grow my own and in my state it's legal.
It's legal in Australia and peyote is legal in all but 3 states too.
Wow outstanding video, thanks for this. I have so many varieties from misplant and it is nice to hear about the debate on what is what in the San Pedro world aka Pachanoi🤭? My gripe I'm experiencing at the moment is 'PC Pachanoi or San Pedro Pachanoi?!'
Same..
How long does it take a stand to grow that tall? Any amendments to the soil? Whats the watering like ?
Great video all-around! I actually have the outdoor space to go crazy growing these kinds of things, but it's far too cold for about half of the year so I have to do an outdoor/indoor hybrid method. Too bad, because I cannot think of anything else I would want to (legally) grow so much outdoors. But definitely DO NOT grow these with any intent of psychedelic consumption. :-)
If you have the land build a giant greenhouse you can keep heated in the winter. Or move deep south.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge,legal requirements of the prickly pear opuntia ficus indica (Indian fig) is not prohibited or restricted invasive plant , I’ve checked Queensland Government Business Queensland
Mustn't have checked too hard because it WAS an invasive species that they employed a few hundreds people to dig out for 40 years in Queensland. It is a restricted invasive species here in Victoria but it's not enforced. Someone down the road from me has grown like 40 against a stone wall bordering their property. Go ask the Department of Agriculture and you'll get the real answer.
Is your shirt the CSD? One of the most sought after Bridgesii's lol
I can never have too many San Pedros.
where can i buy the one that contains more mescaline? (for educational ends),
LMAO that intro is fucking gold
Curious what are the ten names for fields Marco ??
Are these pics taken in Australia?
Was this posted on the 1. Of april?
How old or the cactuses you’re walking through
Are those gardens open to the public?
I like you vid on pedro, fyi at the beginning you made mistake andsaid species echinopsis or trichocereus but these are the Genus
brijwasi cactus did you just mentioned?
are you using grafting to give new life to areas of cactus that were cut during harvesting?
Looked to me like he was using a prickly pear to graft san pedro to speed it up to make new cuttings from the grafts.
🤝
Could someone please tell me which variety of san pedro the cactus at 4:41 probably belongs to? I have seen pictures of san pedros again and again where the spines were much longer than the cross-section diameter of the trunk. however, I never found out under what name this variety can be found. I see most of the resemblance to a bridgseii. I would love to grow those kind of amazing san pedros. I would be happy about your answers or assumptions. thx
The cactus pictured at 4:41 is Trichocereus bridgesii 'Psycho0'. This is quite a common clone in Australia, but it can get pricey overseas. One of the fastest growers in my garden :)
@@liamengel5222 cool thing, now I finally know it, thank you very much and greetings from Austria, cheers.
Hot man! Hot cactus!
Great video! Would love to grow peyote at home and watch it slowly, slowly grow. But where to find any in aus?
lots of great facebook groups that sell seeds and plants
Herbalistics
I had to go to multiple places before I finally found a reasonably priced San Pedro. Just look around
Also helps to know what you’re looking for
They grow in the bush near Corryong Vic.
Hey does anyone know the species of the flower @9:22-10:26?
I think they’re awesome and would love to see them in person!
Grandiflorus hybrids. Zelly has crazy flowers on misplant
@@tradertom4843 thanks!
I accidentally watered too much my San Pedro cactus and it ended up rotting all the way down to its base. The green fleshy part is gone , but I have an extensive root system. Do you think it will regenerate?
How much did you water it?
Is there a scabbed stump left or anything that resembles a stump and isn't infected? Also why did you let it rot all the way down to the base? As far as I understand overwatering kills the root system first so I am conflicted as to what exactly happened to your specimen.
I love cactus all the time but not all
San Pedro plantations ???
My selective hearing heard "Definitely grow Bridgesii because it contains more mescaline"
That wasn’t the point of the whole video?
The 1st rule of fight club!Don’t embarrass America
fuck yeah m8 much love from the usa!!!
Which ones are not psychoactive? That's what I'd want. And what do the fruits usually taste like? I love coconut, but unless I can purchase that strain...
Lol just because they’re psychoactive doesn’t mean you have to consume them. Some of the most beautiful plants are psychoactive.
Why is my San Pedro not flowering it's from a cut and it's now 3 ft tall and 3 years old
Where are you located? It could just be the climate. I’ve been growing in Louisiana for years now, and I rarely see flowers on my trichos. My lophos flower all the time though.
At the end are you grafting san pedro on to a prickly pear cactus?
He is!
That is the feminine to San pedro
@@frankzap6231 lol
@@psilocypher Lol, literally a shaman in Ecuador said that it was san Pedro's wife..
I pledge my allegiance to the tall green spikey ones...
Trichocereus and Echinopsis are genera names, not species names btw. Echinopsis is the current genus name, with pachanoi being the current species name. Though this may change in the future, as taxonomy often does. Either way, it sure is San Pedro.
Is it true I can buy San Pedro at Home Depot and Lowes?? How do I buy San Pedro at Home Depot without looking suspicious? I will just try to be calm and not look suspicious.
Yes I've picked up 3 different clones there not including pc
which one has coconut tasting fruits?
'Halcyon beast' :)
Consumption is inevitable
Thanks, Asho - It has a cultural history of use and a more modern history, we are all well aware of that. No judgment here, it's just not the focus of the video.
Genus not species lol, haven't heard of ppl classifying all trichos as macrogonus tho that's weird
Trucha goes into some detail on this issue here: www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?/topic/41848-the-macrogonus-onus-pt-1-001/
This seed don’t have mescaline
Noice
Pots are very cheap. Clear pots prevents rooting
Mexicos gift to the world
That would be peyote. These plants are native to South America.
-especially not bridgesii because it contains more mescaline
BRO i'm dead
why is bridgesii generally pronounced "ee" and williamsii generally pronounced "ee eye"?
That seems like something I'd ask. I'd be curious to know.
lol. you sound like alex from a clockwork orange. it makes san pedro growing seem slightly sinister.
Weed growers love making up new names
Holy sweet Jesus... where is San Pedro heaven!
we just need 100 people to chip in 20 grand each and you'll be able to a farm 🤷♂️
mannnnn fuck yur cactus tahthahahaa
Trichocereus and Echinopsis are genuses, not species.
I've seen giants in South America, family really got annoyed that I mentioned mescaline content, had many as ornamental but never could move with them, I could grow tons on land have Peruvian apple 🌵cactus that are 35 foot. Animals get a lot of fruit produced everything its fertilized seems. When in grown in direct soil, sand Central West gulf coast either nematodes of moisture rotted two when away. Have exotics but fruits from travels. Took out thousands if pounds prickly pear gets too wild. What's a wholesaler of many varieties, I often share plants. Had no idea was valuable, thank you. Anyone have success in Tampa area? Or know link, love to have many varieties. Especially if threatened, b e glad to save like my fruit trees. Spending thousands to get trees removed for more room. Prickly pear and subulatta fish hooks are awful. Worked at wholesale cactus place when 14-15 yearold, miserable heat and no money. Peyote I'd grow if threatened as have room. What great info, love to reestablish or save from extinction help. Glad stumbled on.
is this video deliberately misleading as very few shown, esp the flowers (none of which are san pedro)?
I mean, they did show flower buds, and if you're mislead simply from coloured flowers you might need to join up with some of the trichocereus groups on Facebook. There are many new colour flower variants that are coming out, as well as intergenetic hybrids.
Liam makes a lot of great points, but he's literally standing in front of a farm full of trichs.
@@oldsalt394 um if you think any flower is active, you got issue buddy.. not me. san pedro aka trich should be white dinner plate flowers! And all those flowerers were shitty non active cacti, so that's how i call it misleading when 3/4 the video is non.
btw i grow real san pedro, and lophorioa
@@oldsalt394 thats wheere i agree.
@@oldsalt394 i am a cultivator, so i know what im looking at.
Did you just say that Trichocereus Bridgestii has more mescaline content than Trichocereus Pachanoi (original San Pedro) ???? I Heard just the opposite, that the bridgestii is way weaker in mescaline content
Yes! Anyone explain???
I would trust thus guy!
I've never heard so many incorrect statements about trichocereus cacti all at once, this is unbelievable
Can you name 3?
'Scion' has a silent 'C' - as in 'science'. Sorry to be that guy but it's annoying. Otherwise great video.
What a waste of time.. naming some stupid cacti... All we need to know is are those things growing behind you going to get you High???
Haha it's called taxonomy man, simply for identification and information more then anything. And stupid cacti? But you want to get high off it? Pretty contradictive way to talk about it.
Come on man , Respect the plant don't just do it to get high , do it for the learning experience and look within , they aren't stupid they are actually quite magnificent
