I bought a peruvian torch from Peruvian Journey several years ago that looked identical to that. They said it was some special hybrid. But it looked 100% identical, how it was sectioned off and everything. To me, that doesn't look like a bridgesii either. But i am uncertain exactly which species it is, just doesn't look like the bridgesii' I have worked with.

have you ever visited Erowid SoShroomHungry? Yes bidgessi contains psychoactive compounds as do many trichocereus varieties. You should also maybe check out "Trouts notes: Sacred Cacti" . There are many interesting varieties available.

It looks a lot like a bridge but it's really hard to be sure. It does not look like a peruvianus. I have a few bridges myself and it looks a lot like them but there are so many look alikes that even experts get fooled and I'm not an expert. Bridgesii is mesc containing so one way to tell would be to do an assay on it.

how fast does that cactus grow? How often are you able to harvest. Just curious, thinking of taking on a challenge like a cactus.

And there is where God lives, where the dead live, the spirits and the saints, a world where everything has already happened and everything is known. That world talks. It has a language of its own. I report what it says. The sacred mushroom takes me by the hand and brings me to the world where everything is known. It is they, the sacred mushrooms, that speak in a way I can understand. I ask them and they answer me. When I return from the trip that I have taken with them, I tell what they have told me and what they have shown me." -- Mazatec shaman

Upon second viewing and consulting another we both feel that it does resemble a bridgesii more than a peruvianus. Those long spines give it away.
In my experience they usually double their size each year or.. grow about a foot a year.. it depends if it pups out or not. you could have a 3' cactus set out 3 pups and each pup grow a foot.

bridgesii - the bolivian torch?! =D it looks strange for a peruvian... but the spines are a bit strange for bridgesii too... hard to tell. i have a p. torch with the areoles pretty away too... but the 5 ribs leads me to the bridgesii side..

blankk said to fee: btw you're a total fucking psychedelic pimp Turtletotem said: I want to become a sun worshipper, so next time an atheist smugly asks me where god is, I can point smugly at the sun and laugh my ass off. Then I drive away in my solar powered piece of shit car, cool stuff man. And then I go kill a bitch because the flaming orb in the sky told me to do so, and I don't know, oppress a few minorities here and there in the name of nuclear fusion? Religion is fun.
