Number of Spines & Trip Quality?
    #9513868 -

"...There are some other things to consider when preparing San Pedro. I only work with cactuses that have seven or nine spines because they produce the most gentle and beautiful brews. Those with six or eight spines are not so strong, while elevens and thirteens can be very intense but also sometimes dark. I never use either with patients.

Those with four spines are only ever used for exorcisms, and the patient and healer must both drink. You dont ever want to try a San Pedro like this..."

Interesting. Id never heard anyone say that SP phenos with different numbers of spines had different qualities. Anyone else ever notice anything like this? A local garden has some nice looking Peruvianus cuts going right now has an eight-spine pheno...

This is bullshit. It doesn´t matter how many spines they have, they´re all Trichs.

Until the 20th century, reality was everything humans could touch, smell, see,
and hear.
Since the initial publication of the charged electromagnetic spectrum, humans
learned that what they can touch, smell, see, and hear... is less than one
millionth of reality.

No matter the number of ribs, mescaline is mescaline.

Not only was I quoting someone else, but someone else whose native language wasn't English (and given how much a lot of people who post online mangle the language anyway... sheesh! :wink: ) And he's talking about the number of spines in the spine clusters, not the number of ribs.

Was just checking to see if anyone else out there had ever heard anything about this, not saying it was true. Thanks to all who replied to this.

It appears the person originally making this statement is a shaman or some kind of healer. My impression would be that a healer has a wide selection of cacti to choose from and has obtained some kind of spiritual sense with the plants. Under the context of a shaman having a large variety to choose from, along with their practice of superstition, judging a cactus the way implied may not be so crazy. Even if its not true in any scientific way, it might be a great way for the shaman to steer his experience one way or the other, using belief alone.

For our purposes it might be a little bazaar though :wink:.

A pedro with 11 or 13 spines? I thought most Pedros have 4 or 5 typically.

I've been seeing almost nothing but 7's, 8's, & 9's in the local nurseries/gardens lately.

To be honest, though, I don't even know if the number of spines is determined entirely by genetics or if environmental factors can affect it. Seems like it'd most likely be genetically predetermined IMHO.
