This cactus has the peculiarity of being highly alkaline, containing certain hallucinogenic components in its structure, such as: mescaline, Tyramine, Hordinenine, 3-Methoxytyramine and Anhalaninine. All of the aforementioned chemical structures are responsible for causing a hallucinogenic effects following consuming. Therefore, allowing those who consume it to explore their psyche, or subconscious. This is the reason why it is purposely used to induce entheogenic and psychotropic experiences. 

The effects of San Pedro can begin to be felt one or two hours after its consumption. The product lasts in the body for 8 to 10 hours. If you consume the cactus by extracting the components into tea, the effect is faster. Anyone taking this will be almost instantly forced to vomit, a natural reaction due to the unappealing, bitter taste. The more you resist the urge to be sick, the more of an effect it will have on your body.
