I'm a Cactus Thief, AMA

So, I wanted some san pedro cactus to try, and to grow. I am sure as hell not paying $10 a foot for cuttings online, so I hit google street view to look for some. I find a big stand of it growing in the front yard of a house in a neighboring city. I go over to my friends' apartment, have a few beers, extoll the virtues of hallucinogenic cacti, and next thing I know we're on the freeway heading to the house. I'm behind the wheel, with two friends in the back. One wields a buck knife, the other a machete. We roll up on the house quiet like, so as not to spook our quarry. Both friends launch out of the SUV and attack the fucking cactus, two big sections fall in one machete swing, while the other guy saws through it with the knife. I just can't stop thinking, "holy shit this is happening right now". Funniest thing I've seen in my life, they both come running back to the car with several logs, and one impaled on the machete held overhead. Cactus thrown in the back, everyone piles in and we take off. I verified the species of trichocereus we harvested, definitely san pedro. The whole operation probably took less than twenty seconds. That cactus never knew what hit it.

Fuck you, plant thieves are assholes. How about asking the owner for a cutting next time, or maybe growing your own.
Do you mind if I come over to your house and steal some shit simply because I want it?

Strong reaction! probably deserved. In my defense, they seemed to be over the city property line outside their fence, and had been cut down to stumps only about a foot tall sometime in the past couple years. Asking would have been best, but it seemed like a good idea at the time! not saying I was justified, simply saying I am reasonably sure the owners of the property probably never noticed or cared.

Yeah, kind of big asshole move.
Cactus takes a quite some time to grow, and you just vandalized and stole someones property.
couldnt you use street view to find it not at someones home?
Also, jumping out of a vehicle and running towards someones home in the middle of the night brandishing knives is a good way to get shot.

Sorry, it's a shitty thing to do. You don't know the owner's intention, and whether it was a prized specimen or just a random grow. As a grower of exotic plants, including unique tricho hybrids, I would be totally pissed if someone took some cuts... but on the other hand if a genuine person approached me with an interest to take a sample I would try and oblige.
If you enjoy the mescaline experience, how about growing your own ? Within a few years you can multiply your collection rapidly, and its very satisfying to know that your taking psychedelics that you have grown and prepared through your own time and effort. Plus, theres no bad karma.

Cactus thieves are beneath contempt.
You have vandalized something that will take a decade to grow back and never will have the same shape again. You might was well saw down someones pear tree.
Despicable.

I'm a bit lacking in morals at times. Good job on planning that cactus caper. Better than junkies mugging someone for a fix.

A junkie robs you, takes all of a couple of days to replace the couple hundred bucks they got off you.. Try replacing the damage this idiot caused in 2 days, especially when cactus grows so slow to begin with.
How is this better than a junkie robbing someone?

Okay and if it was OP's property he'd have the right to make the choice to consume it rather than look at it. It wasn't and he didn't. Thieves are fucking scum. Doesn't matter if it's 2 dollars or 200.. They're fucking scum.
