3 arrested for selling peyote over the internet * 1
    #21993548 - 07/25/15 01:40 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

July 24, 2015

Cartagena, Colombia-



The Guardia Civil have arrested three people including two UK nationals after raiding their greenhouses in the outlying Cartagena district of Cartagena and establishing that two varieties of hallucinogenic cactus were being grown there for subsequent sale over the Internet.

The two types of cactus involved are Lophophora williansii and Trichocereus pachanoi, better known in Spanish as the Peyote and San Pedro varieties, and a total of 230 plants were seized by the investigating officers.

Both species contain mescaline, and were being grown in the greenhouses on two plots of land in La Alijorra before being advertised for sale online. In on of the greenhouses 117 cacti were confiscated, while the two on the other plot contained a total of 113 plants.

Those arrested are a British couple aged 70 and 65, who owned the largest of the three greenhouses, and a Spanish man aged 35, and their alleged offenses against public health are aggravated by the fact that they are reported to have modified the plants by means of cutting to increase the mescaline content. The case is now in the hands of the courts of Cartagena.

The most worrying part of this investigation is that the species shown on the photographs look very similar to growing in a pot outside the back door purchased in a local market simply as a plant requiring little water, without and knowledge that cactus even possessed hallucinogenic properties.

According to Wikipedia: "Peyote is native to Mexico and southwestern Texas. It is found primarily in the Chihuahuan desert and in the states of Coahuila, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas and San Luis Potosi among scrub, especially where there is limestone.

Known for its psychoactive properties when ingested, peyote is used worldwide as an entheogen and supplement to various transcendence practices, including meditation, psychonautics, and psychedelic psychotherapy. Peyote has a long history of ritualistic and medicinal use by indigenous Americans. It flowers from March through May, and sometimes as late as September. The flowers are pink, with thigmotactic anthers (like Opuntia)."


So if you fancy a spot of psychonautics and psychedelic psychotherapy all you have to do is work out what to do with it

So colombia is cracking down on a pair of elderly folks offering peyote and pedro.. atleast they have their priorities straight.  What a bunch of pricks..

"Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
For what, I don't know:
Every time I plant a seed,
He said kill it before it grow -
He said kill them before they grow.
And so:"

Really? Confiscating cactus'? How retarded does this sound? I thought those were legal to have. It's a fucking cactus. On top of that they arrested old people who were just growing these in a greenhouse in their backyard.

Meanwhile, there's a meth dealer selling right outside of our mall, a tweaker stealing shit from people to get his next fix, and sex offenders on the loose. :dawerp:

That is the only sensible solution.

I can't imagine possibly dealing with these people in any other way.

Elderly British couples tending to plants are more dangerous than troubled inner city thug life gangbangers. You heard it here first. :rolleyes:
