What is best cacti for beginners?

After a long time of my mushroom hunting failures, i understand it is almost impossible to find any psychoactive specie because of the conditions of the place where i live.
And growing psychoactive mushrooms are so expensive and harder than growing a cacti. So i decide to grow a cacti. I think San Pedro is the best for beginners. Advices, please.

I agree. All cacti require little care other than love and a Pedro can grow 1.5 feet in a zone 6 season IME.

I'm still somewhat of a beginner in the world of cacti, but I am finding growing trichocereus to be exceedingly simple. They seem to have such a strong will to live, you almost can't mess up unless you actively seek to do so haha.
It's a shame you are unable to find any psychoactive mushrooms in your area and I'd agree growing cacti is much simpler and less involved than mushrooms, at least in my experience. That being said, I find mushroom cultivation to be quite rewarding (as I do with cacti) and once you get over the initial setup costs, it is quite cheap. Don't get discouraged, the process is actually quite straight forward once you get your head around it.
Good luck!

And i have lighting problems. Well, the place where i live is so rainy even on summer. So i can't put them out. Is an 30 (or 50) Watt full spectrum LED grow lamp enough for lighting? And what about soil?
Note: I don't care about the best way, i care about cheapest one. Growing time is not a problem for me.

WTF Dude???
Are you saying it's impossible for you to grow mush so you wanna take on cacti? Cacti aren't super easy to grow although Trichs are a good beginner plant.
If you need help with mush PM me or check out the Noob forum link in my sig. We'll get you going for sure in there 
All I'm saying is don't give up due to a few failures. It takes time and learning from your mistakes to get good in this field
-------------------- ------------- Check out my Pollen Trade thread for spreading Good genetics far and wide Great Vendors thread where we can discuss "Non Shroomery" Vendors that sell good products worth checking into A few things I wanna get my hands on check it out and let me know if you have any of these Need help getting started growing mushrooms Here's The Noob Forum

I rethink it and i see grow time of mushrooms are really short (1 or 2 weeks) and preparation of mushrooms are really more easy than San Pedro. And setting the dosage too.
But spore syringes are very expensive and growing a mushroom looks very hard. A spore syringe is over 20$ and a n00b like me can easily f*** it up.
Anyway i will try it soon (probably 7 months after). Thanks! I will ask my questions when time come.
