The last bunch of times I've been to home depot and lowes, they have san pedro cactus for sale. How is this legal and should I pick one up before they stop?

I can't see your post for some reason, but your prolly better off ordering a cut from a enthobotanical website so you know it will be potent

Owning the plant is completely legal it's what you do with it that makes it a no no. I would pick that shit up I highly doubt they have GMO pedros. That would just be wrong. Don't let them catch it in a soup or star cuttings and you are solid

Two things..
It says 'shady but well lit'..wtf?
And..never says how long the cuttings are supposed to be..I thank you tho for the info!!
The cutting I have came from a similar mob and was about 20cm long. My guess is that it doesn't really matter just as long as the cutting is long enough to have enough reserves within it to keep going until it can access fluids etc from the medium you put it in. All the cuttings they sell seem to be from 15cm to 50cm.

Cool..I think I'll try the smallest,@1ft,and cut it into 3rds...I know cacti are hardy..some states ban planting certain species because they can't be eradicated once they get going..kinda like bamboo.

Go a little slower.

Cut off the growing tip of each.

Six to eight inches. Let them scab over for a week and then put them each in a new pot.

Water every other week until you see new growth, then once a week in summer.

The ones you took the cuttings off of should be watered a little more frequently. You will get from one to six pups on each one.

They will grow pretty quick. I let them grow a season then cut them all (if the root stock is healthy). And plant. If the stock is split or they or not very green I will leave one sprite go.

I started with three four inch ones ten years ago. I've given maybe thirty away, cut forty feet and have fifty plants or sprites. This is my last propagation year. I should get fifty feet a year from now on

And you know me,I won't be happy till I MOW them as grass on my lawn:-)
I'll wait till the sun comes out from this storm,then I'll make a 'blind instruction manual'..I'll document me fucking up my cacti,for posterity... Or,comedy..when I cuss myself out for killing my babies:-)
But yea,getting on that soon,theres a nefarious university near that needs its hallowed grounds rife with succulents,not for tripping,just simply for the comical hypocrisy,and the extra grow space!!

:-) thanks guys!!

I'm not very knowledgeable in the cacti world either but I did a quick erowid search and it contains mescaline. Supposedly grows slower than Pedro but that's all I've gathered so far. I know this is not always true but look for the ones without a flower that are plain and kind of ugly lol

I see a rabid desire to start a collection developing as I type....
