From Another forum...

PM me for a link!


Quote:

Not that I'm an Native American or any type of expert, but I'd think that it refers to any medicinal (including entheogenic/psychedelic) cactus that is used (or has been used) by the Native Americans. In perticular, I think it has a strong link to the L. williamsii species, although I think that appearance comes from a westerner's view as that is what I have always been told (via books/internet/docos/etc) it refers to. Of course after looking into these cacti for a long time I realise that the term has also been used for other species, mostly those which have been incorporated into folk-medicine by the Indians.

I certainly wouldnt link it solely to L.williamsii as I know that it, along with other terms ('tsuwiri' for example) also refer to other species.





Quote:

Off the tip of my head I can say that there are at least 18 non-Cactaceae species that have been cited at "peyote" in the literature. The term "peyote" appears to have its etymology in the Aztec language, and likely referred specifically to plants known to the Aztecs. But the name has been extended, almost certainly by Spanish speaking culture, to almost any ethnobotanical cactus, as well as many other plants, even though the name may never have applied to them in pre-Columbian society. I think there are many "peyote" cactus that have gained the name by Spanish speakers simply because the plants may have been found at some point to have medicinal use (traditional or contemporary) or because it looked similar to other plants called peyote. The tribes currently considered the center of "peyote" use, the Huichol and Tarahumara, have their own terms for the cactus plants they use.

Quote:

Many different plants are properly called peyote.
Some are cacti. Some are not.
Some are ingested as hallucinogens but most are not.
Some are used in ethnomedicine but most are not so far as we know.
Some even look similar to L. williamsii but most do not.


L. williamsii is not necessarily small. The heads can reach 4 inches in diameter and a single plant can (with serious age) form a clump of many heads that is a meter in diameter.

I can't believe those "Noobish" mexican shamans running around calling all kinds of cacti, besides Lophophora, "Peyote" for 1000s of years....

Well my personal opinion is this-

If the shamans of central mexico call many cacti "peyote" because of their medicinal or psychoactive properties...

We should too...

They know a hell of alot more about these cacti then we do.

The reason I don't think all other small round psychoactive cacti of central mexico should be called "false peyotes" is because some of them are no considered "false"...

They are useful and are just called peyote.

Peyote IS LW. Just because a cactus is globular, slow growing and supposedly has Teotz' medicinal properties, doesn't make it peyote.

You're either gonna take the popular view or the indigenous peoples view.  Around here a lot of people are gonna say peyote = Lophophora williamsii.  Yet go to where it actually grows naturally and ask an indigenous person to show you some peyote and they might show you several different unrelated species of cacti.  Who is right?  They both are.

Same thing with San Pedro. Popular drug culture says San Pedro is Trichocereus pachanoi.  Yet people who live in South America refer to several different Trichocereus species as San Pedro.


I think this arguing is pointless.  No one is gonna prove anyone wrong and it just messes up the ethno garden.  Let us all return to our senses.  :peace:

>If the shamans of central mexico call many cacti "peyote" because of their medicinal or psychoactive properties...

But not all shamans believe this, only some groups would degrade to other cacti when they couldnt find LW(Thanks hippies).

And these traditional folk definatly dont know more about these plants than the people around here.. We have researched the indapendent chemicals in these differnt cacti.. We know that its not "Spirit Peyote". Its Mescaline, that reacts quite nicely with the receptors in our heads. We are trying to accomplish something here, Stopping the spread of misinformation. This may not be misinformation but its against the wolds general consensus.

Im not confused by "False Peyote", seems correct to me.

:rofl:

"Until the 1950s there had been no careful and extensive botanical studies of peyote. Plants which were brought into the chemist's laboratory—or the horticulturist's greenhouse—had little or no documentation, available only at the site of collection, about the place of origin or other important characteristics. As a result, plants from the same population were sometimes given different scientific names and those of separate regions often were given the same name. This absence of botanical understanding, primarily due to insufficient field and laboratory studies, consequently resulted in mistakes and confusion by historians, anthropologists, chemists, pharmacologists, and others. For example, numerous references have been made to peyote as belonging to the genus Anhalonium. This name is botanically invalid, as it was applied to the group of plants which had earlier been named Ariocarpus; hence, the later name Anhalonium cannot be used for that group or any other group of plants such as peyote. However, the name Anhalonium had been employed so widely for about a century that few people other than botanists specializing in taxonomy were aware of the fact that the name should not have been used. The confusion and difficulties that have resulted probably can never be completely straightened out. "

-That was written by a scientists i.e. people who come up with taxonomic names in the first place.

I'm not an expert by any means. Just my 2 cents. lolz
