I'm from South Africa and San Pedro grows everywhere here. :D

I just got mines and I can't wait for my first enlightenment

[@Wolf_K]

I’ve taken San Pedro a couple of times back when I was living in a big city; two days later I left the city and haven’t returned...that was years ago. While on it I just had the idea that “I can’t do this anymore...I hate the city” and so I left. I never liked it much anyways but my drug addictions were keeping me chained to the city as that’s where all the drugs were. San Pedro, and at the doses I had - which weren’t extreme, was a fantastic experience and thus I have so much respect for that plant and what it can do for people. I will take I again when required.

[@chrisjernigan1912]

Man this is crazy literally just over 12 hours ago, before I even knew this video existed, my friend and I were trying figure out the best way to describe Mescaline while he was tripping on it (he was trying it out and reporting to me during the trip). And the word we both came up with was "Grandfather" which is what you say not 1 minute into this video. Interesting.

[@sunmastergio8898]

This is my favorite video on KZbin. I’ve watched it over and over like 12 times

[@trollmcclure1884]

you havent seen the cats yet

[@occultpriestess]

Thanks Mate! I just did Aya for the first time, and "she" told me to use catus next!

[@matthewk956]

Great report, mate. Planning a San Pedro experience myself. Very much looking forward to it.

[@rain-wj6vv]

11:44 looks so cool with the light hitting his hands!!

[@trollmcclure1884]

lets call it a coincidence:)

[@astrostar7018]

雨rain 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@yongyea4147]

yes he was talking about energy and I was like woahhhh

[@yongyea4147]

I wasn't paying much attention to the video and just listening and looked down... it was cool... let's call it the perfect harmony of nature; everything happens for a reason

[@peterevans9332]

Great testimony man! Thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience in Ecuador, having to take my shoes of because I felt the electricity our feet pick up from walking barefoot. The san Pedro opened my eyes to this, and helped me realize the depth of my connection with earth. I still walk barefoot whenever it's warm enough to this day, and I can still feel the charge. Gracias a Huachuma

[@sweettanjarine2128]

Thanks for the vid. I needed to hear this. I think San Pedro would be the first psychedelic I'd want to try. It sounds like something that'd be in tune with who I am.

[@theRiver_joan]

I'm not at a place in my life where I can do psychedelics at the moment but I glean a lot from these videos and some of your perspectives gained on them. I really appreciated that thought of using our past to motivate us for the future in this video. Great stuff man.

[@spencerallen5881]

Dude so correct on the energy feild experience! I tried San Pedro from Peru farmers market. While outside during my 4 to 5 hr trip it started raining [epic tingling of each drop of rain lightning up into micro prisms of light off the skin]... Similar to Dare Devil movie with his sensory system of vision! Great content brother...stay humble. Thank you

[@starmandevin5998]

That sounds amazing

[@esmeraldabonita9683]

I will be doing my first ceremony this weekend. I am ready for it.

[@crunkin1t590]

I know this late but how was it??

[@jerseyinthephilippines1283]

Cool video bro as usual. You’re great at these. I appreciate ya! God bless always mate!

[@iamxjamesross]

I've just started uploading my experiences ayahuasca and san pedro... You inspired me to go to the Amazon and experience these things.

[@iantubbs4043]

You've grown so much tom hahaha. Physically and mentally. Its really cool and I would think valuable, watching yours and others older videos again

[@ksushka23]

Tom, great video mate! As always, I can relate to you so much! Oh, its nice to know you are not alone and there are people who are going through the same stuff. I almost went to Casa de le Gringa when I was in Peru, but the dates of their ceremony didn't work with mine. So glad you got to do it! I'm going to try my first San Pedro in a week or so, I know it nowhere near as horrifying as San Pedro, but still I'm a bit worried. Wish me luck! I will post my report also, and I think I'm ready to share my Ayahuasca experience and what I went through in the Amazon jungle, new video coming soon:) Thank you for the inspiration!

[@PancakeJake]

This is the best trip report I've ever heard. Great storytelling with wonderful insights and a powerful positive message. And highly entertaining. Keep up the great work my friend!

[@giovannilomonaco-kiss3688]

Tom your such a dope guy. I really appreciate your work, and can’t fucking believe you don’t have millions of views. Love your content

[@danielwatson1699]

Its super weird the experience you had is very very similar to when i took a very high dose of lsd during the day in the forrest it was like i could see feel and hear the connection all the plants and trees had to each other it was like they were talking to each other through the wind was truly one of the most beautifully intense things ive ever seen

[@THEZACK123]

Can I just say I really look up to you, dude? After watching your videos I feel inspired and motivated. Keep it up and stay happy!

[@KWEE1985]

Great video man! I've done mescaline before and it's very blissful. I prefer mushrooms for my intense journeys for self discovery and ego death. You must respect the plant to get the full effects and be with nature to push the limits to get the full benefits ;)

[@kickinwinghotboi883]

So far in my experience, mushrooms have been the best *tool* for self-discovery, and something to work on yourself. I've tried DMT in a vape pen and it was really hard for me to interpret the trip as that was my first experience with it and it just seemed so, "out there" lol. I over time I think I've come to learn what the trip was trying to tell me. LSD, in my opinion, isn't really something that could be used as a *tool* by itself but more of like a transitional medium. Something to open up the mind, ive had high dose acid experiences but I've just never had any sort of "learning" experience with it like I have with other psychedelics. I don't know if it's how I view the compound or if it just doesn't have anything to show or teach me. I've yet to try Ayahuasca or Mescaline but I have some San Pedro growing and when we are ready (myself and the cactus) I will see what it has to teach me

[@mrfluidvision]

Big T. thank you for sharing. You did some good work. Hope your still on the path.

[@Rollmanrevolution]

Tom, This was a very enjoyable and informative life story. I really appreciate you sharing this video, and I will share this with others who want to know more about San Pedro. Namaste.

[@whatarewedoing0]

we are enslaved by a piece of paper, so depression, i think is avery reasonable reaction to what life is at this point, i get what you're saying tho about perspective i guess but we haven't yet freed ourselves, physically or emotionally yet as a society.

[@James-mb6jt]

whatarewedoing we live in hell and heaven. A tree can’t grow to the light if the roots don’t grow in the dark type shit

[@cihankenar1]

I have about a foot of San pedro, just trying to organise a nice event to take the trip. Thanks for the video bro, and on top of that youre Aussie too!

[@icebrycebaby7380]

Howd it go?

[@kimsroungim4168]

always love your elaborate and magical reports Tom, much love !!

[@tinatomes7807]

Hi Tom or any one who has travel to Peru , I am from Western Australia( PERTH) . I have been thinking and now planning ot Traveling to Peru in December . For the same experience as you have . If you can kindly let me know wares a good, safe place to go for both Ayahuasca and San Pedro ceremonies , cost, travel each. Any kind of advice would be a great help thanks .

[@ROGERSfilmProduction]

Your videos are amazing man!

[@renegademystic2771]

I'm going to try San Pedro here in Seattle with someone who goes to Leslie in Peru for the San Pedro part of their Spirit Plant Medicine Peru journey. SO funny, I just heard about her place today.

[@DeGarisJ]

Hey Tom, how long did you leave it between the Ayahuasca and the San Pedro?

[@bryndonjackson4160]

ur on ur way bro. keep doing what your doing and you'll find everything ur looking 4

[@KambizSayari]

Thanks for sharing your story. Beautiful 😍.

[@cihankenar1]

Mushrooms are also meant to be very common in some parts of Australia, now if i can only get my hands on some ... :)

[@nathansharp2978]

there's a 5 foot fat san pedro in my room and long weekend at the end of this week . heading to a beach with close friends, hired accommodation and look forward to experience :)

[@yourmatetom]

That's awesome! Let us know how it goes :) I myself have a San Pedro cactus. I'm just waiting for my girlfriend to have a free house which should be in december :D

[@nathansharp2978]

trip report incoming monday!

[@cihankenar1]

+Freeze Down Nathan, Im also in Sydney, sending you a Fb friend request.

[@highxinfiniti]

I seem to have undertooken almost an identical experience to yours. I believe that the San Pedro spirit enlightened me with corresponding Intel.

[@SpiritExplorations]

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm going to try San Pedro tomorrow, appreciate your insight.

[@fjdjdjdjj6216]

Cool how did it go? I'm also trying it in 2 days

[@gichubill6221]

I too stopped caring about truthers, i find it silly this days... would like to have a san pedro and ayahuasca experience too

[@zak96]

Ever try LSD? I think you would really enjoy it. It's similar to san pedro and the spirit seems very magical and forgiving and goofy.

[@yongyea4147]

If you ever get depressed just remember that people here in the states deeply love your accent to the point of extreme envy... I've been researching the surgery to get my midwestern accent changed.

[@adcaptandumvulgus4252]

all illness originates from the mind? I'm skeptical

[@user-lo9cw6pq7j]

Chris Brew Actually illness begins in the gut, which affects not only the mind but the entire body!

[@hopperthemarxist8533]

Disagree about what depression is - saying it’s just a “point of view” is really misleading and destructive. The brain is very complex, thought patterns are created unconsciously read subliminal by Leonard mlodinow. You do not choose shit my dude thoughts appear in the mind. This doesn’t mean you have no control, you are a complex confluence of overdetermined influences. Stop making statements about how depression is a fucking perspective. Poor people have peaks of suffering and their brains are fucked because of the anxiety of poverty.

[@User0resU-1]

Stop making statements that poor people's brains are fucked.

[@James-mb6jt]

I bought a San Pedro cactus to grow and plan to trip on it too. Idk when but I have it, there’s no rush when the timing is right it’ll happen just like my acid and mushy trips. It full felt like the cactus was speaking to me like it’s made from the same stuff we are and is so old, and we are connected to it we share information

[@kurdirama]

Thanks for this... from Amman Jordan!

[@spiritoflights]

One must free oneself of demons before such sacrament then when the truth appears it is truth and not clouded by misinterpretation and enveloped with ego as English visionary William Blake, wrote, "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite."

[@_kimiadventures]

Thanks I enjoy your channel & I'm a fellow Aussie. I looked u up on FB add me if u feel the call 🌵

[@evawilhelm5113]

Wonderful, you're following your heart!

[@BackksStabber]

Hey Tom, thank you so much for the videos. Your videos really help me understand more about journeying! I was actually watching your video about kambo too before I did it. And now I just knew about san pedro yesterday and you also did it already lol Anyway, I really want to see where the plant spirit is taking me to experience. Keep making the awesome videos! Love&Peace

[@yourmatetom]

thanks for watching, I really appreciate it :)

[@fernandovilla3956]

Peyote grows a lot in Mexico they’ve used it in ceremonies for years and years.

[@myme5615]

That dragon you speek of is my best friend i even captured a picture of him in a reflection on a glass containing liquid cactus extract ill send it to ya, it will blow your mind. I usually journey once a month with the aid of san pedro, every time is different a new lesson.

[@myme5615]

Emailed it to you, enjoy Have an awesome one

[@powerliftingcentaur]

I enjoyed your account. This is something I might choose for myself.

[@whatarewedoing0]

how did you take it tho, cause i tried one time and i honestly could get the like tea brew down honestly lol

[@rustyshackleford691]

this reminds me so much of my first lsd experience with the dragon clods. love it!

[@Katalin_Fodor]

You alright mate!

[@iSpeciaIist]

I also went to the temple of the moon. There was a cave with a hold in the ground that we could hear strange sounds coming from below. Did you stay in Casa de la Gringo?

[@romanbeljak1609]

I find your video very informative and inspiring

[@johnarcheus]

So it feels like Amanita Muscaria? Didn't you see colors and rainbows? I've heared Mescaline was like LSD and sometimes stronger! But it only does that? The combination of ganja and amanita gave me that and more...

[@bebazzeld7309]

Very nice explained, It's like I hear myself talking some times. We should have a chat or something. Anyways Thanks allot and keep on the good work =)

[@sandraria7781]

Thank you for this! I`d definetely want to try it! By the way, did you visit Machu Picchu? alone or with a tour?

[@ifoundthistoday]

how have these experiences changed you perspective without sounding like Tony Robbins please

[@thaspacegoatae3419]

Lsd, shrooms and san pedro all open a very special part of your consciousness always intergrate. Havent tried DMT yet gonna wait til I'm in my 40s or 50s later on in life.

[@grafforbust]

Yo Tom I feel like I've had very similar experiences and insights from psilocybin mushrooms. I just got me a few san pedros in the mail.. I'm very excited to see if the cactus helps me process what I have learned from the mushrooms. Cheers man, we seem like two peas in the same pod.

[@tjrex2001]

We are all the same peas in the same pond my friend

[@codex_logos]

Okay first nice Vid Tomboy, one constructive criticism maybe use a better backdrop? .. anyway I gotta question, wld it be acceptable to eat truffles/shroom with San pedro?? Or wld it be better to do them separately? ? Please advise

[@condo40hooa40]

Hi Tom how was your drink, San Pedro made? Was the white center of the San Pedro got removed and only the green part cooked ?

[@raresmircea]

I agree with much of what's said here but there are many caveats to everything. One major thing is that if humans felt totally free from the concern about what others thought about them then we would be savages right now. Civilization was built in great measure on our concern with how our social others see us. Furthermore, this has a crucial role in the moral landscape. Very likely countless immoral acts, like raping children, were stopped by this ”mere” concern with what people think about us. I care about my peers, and off course this means that i care about their opinions and implicitly about how they see me. Not caring is the mark of ignorant brutes.

[@spunmcspiner69gaming81]

Holy cow m. Cooked ĺ

my question is did you have a direct contact with grand father?have you seen him?how much you have to drink to see him and ask him?i mean absolute direct contact

[@loveistheanswer5924]

How much gram San pedro do I need for a light experience? Also can I just eat it raw? And should I use just some parts of it or the whole cactus? 🤔🙂

[@stephentrimm7407]

Handsome, I can't imagine you being insecure about anything. With respect, you are beautiful. Also, with respect, weed just became legal for medicinal use. It is going to save many lives. Do your research before you diss something.

[@vidsquid5636]

I would like to experience San Pedro (mescaline), but it takes far too long to cultivate and prices on the cuttings are pretty steep :/

[@livingunlabelled]

that's the first time I heard someone say deja vu of a dream!! I get that from time to time! lool

[@LeriObba]

male/female spirits..... what is the purpose of sex or reproductive organs to a spirit?

[@yourmatetom]

+Virginia Masculine and feminine energy is not necessarily related to genitalia. Everyone has passive/active, tenderness/aggressiveness, yin/yang, katabolic/anabolic energies, whether you're male or female. :)

[@LeriObba]

Your Mate Tom Male and female are 100% related to genitalia though... All those other opposites you listed are not, but that's literally the ONLY thing that male and female have to do with. Egg, or sperm. That is all. It has nothing to do with energy, or emotion, or anything, furthermore, there are species that have more than 2 sexes and some that have just one or none depending on how you look at it FYI... it's not even a universal constant.

[@adammada511]

+Virginia Taking everything so literally is not good for your understanding of how things work. Yes this is a paradoxical statement I'm typing to you. Reason being is that when you take things literally, yes you are factually correct but you miss the underlying statement that may be there. In this case he is correctly stating that these various plants have different energies to them that lean towards the attributes of male or female energies, this is a well documented fact known among those who partake in these ceremonies.

[@LeriObba]

Adam Mada Nothing subjective can be a fact. It is especially backwards considering that many cultures have different attributes given to males and females, this is because these are all of human creation, Imagine the races and creatures OUTSIDE of our planet, outside of our reality. It is foolish and narrow minded to attribute limited human experience to the greatness that is the universe. I'm not interested in the limited human subjective, I'm interested in universal truth. It is difficult for you to understand to let go of the small and look at the infinite.

[@callmewitcher5069]

+Virginia wrong.

[@Calamaistr]

brb looking for cactus in the netherlands

[@elijahknightskye3175]

That looked like a freekin sweet spot, is that a retreat???

[@robinmartin1821]

soooo, this all sounds really interesting, is there an age limit to doing this? No really no snide comments I mean middle age or older people is it ok for them? I only see younger mates like you doing this.I have quite a few friends who are really interested and you seem to know alot about this subject.Thanks mate.

[@faustianluminary4456]

Mescaline doesn't pose any major *physical* health risks. Now if there's any history of mental/emotional disorders that could potentially be dangerous, but physically the worst you have to worry about is possibly some nausea. If someone had severe heart problems I wouldn't recommend it because it's rather stimulating but otherwise it's quite safe.

[@stonedape8437]

That’s what I’ve been saying, there’s so much more around us than what we can see with our senses, just think about dolphins and bats.

[@jimadamopoulos7265]

Hay Tom just wanted to ask I'm looking at going to Peru for an Ayahuasca experience would you recommend following it up with a trip to Mexico for a San Pedro experience since I'm going to Peru from Australia i thought maybe since I'm around the area maybe have both experiences

[@chrisjernigan1912]

Great report too

[@roadtoempowerment3316]

Where in Aus are you from man?

[@ifoundthistoday]

the image of SP wasn't the right variety ... the good SP is plump and has very small spines/needles

[@Wonderfullcrazy]

theres other types of trichocereus. i beleive the image used was not pachanoi but it looked like trichocereus peruvianus. i do see what you mean though like you need to get non pc pachanoi, because pc isnt active.

[@SoyPriscillaDeLaCruz]

I have similar experience and realizations.

[@alexanderwiggin846]

im late here, but i disagree that depression has nothing to do with your situation. in my opinion the reason why a spoiled teenage in america would be more depressed than a poor kid in india is because the american kid doesnt have a family that cares about eachother, they dont have good friendships, their parents leave them for 8 hours a day and they leave the rest of their family for school every day, and the american culture doesn't teach them about hard work and community. even a poor indian kid has all of these things, but its a completely foreign thing to americans. i think thats what contributes to depression

[@danielnagy2037]

very nice video. Im interested more and more in san pedro; ross heaven in an interview said that it makes you more practical, can you elaborate on that? And also I want to try mdma which really opens you up to love and empathy and other things, should i do san pedro first or mdma first. I have the idea that mdma is more the body and san pedro is more the mind and also the body but not as much, your take.

[@davidvillalobos4194]

i have never done psycadelics before, but I am really intrigued by them. which would you recommend first too use as a tool.

[@gaiatravels3489]

Psilocybin mushrooms seem to be the best for a first timer, take a smaller dose 2-3 grams to begin with and get a feel for them and then go from there my friend. best of luck

[@davidvillalobos4194]

The Gaian Mind the mushroom were great!

[@rvfiasco]

Did you eat it fresh or dried?

[@JOEFRO2]

Having my first mescaline experience via Bridgesii Achuma tomorrow. Wish me luck!

[@redearth8010]

Joe Miller My bridgesii are stronger than any of my pachanoi (san pedro), and last about 15 hours compared to 10 hours with san pedro.

[@invaderg3332]

How'd it go Joe?

[@JOEFRO2]

*VERY* well. I think mescaline is my favorite psychedelic now.

[@redearth8010]

Joe Miller My favorite too. How long did it last?

[@JOEFRO2]

~15-16 hours. I only did one wash and reduction, so I don't think I extracted as much mescaline as I could.

[@taylorcap1360]

guys im gonna trip on san pedro with my friend hes getting off ebay and its coming in the mail. Any things i should know?

[@Freidenker888]

I have respiratory problems and it's no wonder because they are spraying chemtrails every day. So how do you deal with chemtrails Tom? Do you detoxify yourself?

[@christianamaraut4220]

Hey Tom, I'm looking to book my retreat with Pulse Tours - Ayahuasca Adventure Center in October of this year. I'm interested in the 14 day trip that travels Machu Pichu. Is this where you experienced your San Pedro experience? Also I know that they offer 2 different experiences where you can start in Cuzco and travel to Iquitos and vise verse. From your video I am assuming you did your Ayahuasca experience first and they traveled through the city after. Do you feel this was a better experience for you after having done Ayahuasca first? Thanks in advance for any help. I'm a first time traveler outside the U.S. and booking my trip to Peru as my first adventure. Hope you can help.

[@iMTweaaaK]

Been there, love Pulse. They are now offering a 7day sacred valley retreat to Cuzco now :) Going in December
