Thanks for watching everyone! This was the finale of Season 1 of Floralogic, thanks everyone for watching and for your lovely comments. We'll see you in Season 2!
Next subject: psychedelics. 👍
@@hansolowe19 Absolutely 🙌
Haa!
You most certainly will (see me during season 2), i find myself greatly enjoying all the Floral- Animal- and Paleologic videos on this channel and would be living a dream if i got to do what is done here for a living.
Hope you All have a wonderful day.
😄👍
Can you make an episode about chayotes?
Please talk about the conifer Wollemia nobilis! It has a very interesting discovery story.
To make this help on conservation more... The psychoactive substance in Peyote is only found in the green, above ground portion of the cactus. If you slice the top part off level with the ground, the root will continue living and will re-sprout not one, but multiple new buttons. If people would do that instead of pulling up and wasting the root portion (as it has no psychoactive properties), it could benefit the plant in the longer term, instead of wiping it out.
That would've greatly helped the plant stay off the endangered list if that was mentioned whenever the subject is made into a video.
Yeah well humans destroy everything. That's why people suck.
Hence my attempt to educate. Many will practice learned conservation for mutual future benefit.
Thanks for that information,, because I thought that was the case, and wouldn't want to waist this remarkable plant..
@@russturner239 please pass the message on! ☺
It is a pity that cultivating peyote is illegal in so many countries, here in the UK is perfectly legal to have it as ornamental plant, and it is a great cactus for indoor cultivation: I have been growing one for about 5 years now, it is still very small but flowers every year, the blue-green colour is really rare among cacti and the flower are absolutely gorgeous. Very easy to keep, needs watering only every 2 - 4 weeks and its small size makes it ideal for cultivation on windowsills even in the smallest apartments!!! It is definitely one of my favourite plants at home, not to talk about the fact that this cactus doesn't have spines so you can handle very easily!!!
It was used in some cultures. Idk enough about it as its not a part of my native cultures practices, but I think it is a closed practice . Just like Marijuana it was discriminated against and probably just like that plant the people who made it illegal are either racist, ignorant, have 0 self control, or a mix of the 3.
Glad you are able to cultivate this plant ^^
@@houndgirl7365 thanks, it is really a beautiful little cactus to grow as a houseplant!!!
I wish we could post pictures of our cacti here 😁 I think mine is about 3 years old now and its about 1" across. I hope it flowers this year.😁
Yeah, im from Mexico, this cactus is native here, and it’s sad that it’s illegal to posses them, luckily Mexican authorities aren’t that efficient and i can still own some of them haha
@@jesusibarra5792 yeah, while I get it is very important to protect the wild plants from the danger of extinction, prohibiting the cultivation and propagation in captivity will make the danger of people collecting wild plants even more likely!!!
Ok since no one is gonna mention the obvious I guess I'll do it.
"Drink cactus juice, It'll quench ya, Nothing's quenchier, it's the quenchiest"
THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS COMMENT !
Ok sakaa
I'm disappointed I had to scroll down so far for this.
Fellow replyers, it is often that the greatest comments are found in the darn back 40!
Can someone explain?
I have stumbled upon a couple of these little guys here where i live while mountain biking near the sierra, and i never noticed it was peyote until i saw one flower and realized what it was.
ok, the question is, did you take a bite? how did it feel like? haha
@@lhhh88 nah i would never do that, but i do know some people from the university i studied at did consumed it for a research on perception.
@@DragonSoul621 thats so wild
@@DragonSoul621 mm yes, "research purposes"
@@lhhh88 Leave wild plants in habitat. A huge threat to peyote are knucklehead poachers trying to chase a high.
The peyote: I'll develop a bunch of alcaloids to taste horrible and protect myself from herbivores.
Herbivore mum to calf: don't munch on that thing, it tastes horrible!
Human: it tastes horrible, but I will try it all the same.
Human (after a while): ""the hills are alive with the sound of peyote's music...""
Just like how chilly peppers are spicy to avoid getting eaten... And then there's humans
We just can't help wanting to eat things that kill us, fugu anyone?
@@vangu2918 I wish certain narcissistic politicians who are evil would learn of fugu's reputation as some sort of wealthy person's treat, so they'd ask to eat it frequently, eventually, improperly prepared. Maybe with a castor bean mashed and blended into their "special dip."
@@vangu2918 not sure if it's true (because I haven't done any research) but mainly it's wild caught fugu that is dangerous. The "farm" raised fish aren't fed anything that allows them to produce the dangerous toxin so those are sold more easily because they don't need to be prepared by an expert. They're also cheaper so more easily found at cheaper restaurants.
@@vangu2918 We? Nah, don't count me in. I'm not included in that we, that's for sure.
"The little hairy things coming out of the bumpy parts." Yeah, I may be almost 50, but I still had a "back in junior high" snicker at that statement.
I believe peyote cacti can be grafted atop San Pedro cacti, which can accelerate the growth rate of the buttons.
Plus San Pedro also produce mescaline and associated analogues. Answers the question no one was asking: How can you make a columnar cactus appear even more phallic?
That is true you can graft a lop on a Pedro and it will make it grow really fast but the mescaline in the lop will not have the right amount of mescaline it needs to get you where you need to be, doing that would just make it fast so the plant can grow and give you seeds
@@xtracheese9914 debatable, some say what you are, others say it's fine after flowering. either way its anecdotal
@@michaelbecker5995 no no no no, The reason why the peyote grows fast is because of the San Pedro if it does have a mescaline it’s because the Pedro giving it’s own to the lop and it won’t be no where near a strong as a lop that grow it’s own due to the fact the lop is pretty much a San Pedro now
or just plain old peres, mine bloomed after a year from seed. Now I just collect the seed pods if I feel like it
Lmfao
I have more than hundred of these growing. Some of them are 12 years old, 3 inches wide and they are flowering like their lives depend on it.
Real beautiful and the bees love em as well.
I grew em all from seed.
Can I aquire a mature one ?
Could I get some seed please.
I want seeds..!?!
@@jackrussell108 @ all 3 of you repliers: I would not mind trying sending seeds, but i have no way to send you direct messages here on YT.
Where does one acquire peyote seed?
I love this channel! I live in the American South West and would love to hear more about the Joshua Tree and Cholla cactus
Hi from the Sonoran Desert!
I think they already did the cholla cactus.
When I was in Phoenix AZ I saw alot of chollas walking around
@@onetwocue lol 😂
@@onetwocue ...que onda, guey
Humans are like "joke's on you I'm into that". Come to think about it, we do that a lot.
i would love to see a video on ancient plants like ginkos or cycads
하트 가 있 는 것 같 아 요.🥰🥰
Try videos on New Zealand.
Try Club mosses. 😊
Interesting that so much of this cactus is underneath the ground
I tried it at a "Peyote Way" ceremony on Mt. Lemon. It was a prayer service for healing some local natives. I was a guest of a local. It was an incredible experience. I was raised LDS. I was 19 tripping on medicina. People singing prayer songs. I prayed as I was taught. I felt blessed to participate. I know Natives here in Texas who use it for their religious ceremonies. Respect the Gift.
That sounds pretty damn cool actually
How was it prepared?
San pedro cactus has the same psychoactive ingredient in it and is perfectly legal, for inquiring minds
Or the stronger bridgesii
Or Peruvian torch.
@GREG_SPORES ON INSTAGRAM SELLS is a Narc. 👮🕵🚔
Legal to grow (and it grows like a weed once it gets going--none of this waiting around for many years for a button sized plant), but not legal to consume in most, if not all, jurisdictions where peyote is not legal.
@bobbun9630 not a lawyer but it's arguably legal if consuming for spiritual purposes. Not for partying, but if u have a legitimate spiritual purpose it's protected under 1st amendment.
Makes me want to start a peyote garden lol
@ grapefruit simmons
Before doing that, please think about all the people who did it because it was too much work to create a roses garden, daysies garden, trees garden..
Can i come by in 10 years?
It's illegal in some parts of the world.
@@PerceptionVsReality333 Which is a crime in and of itself.
@@foreyfriend145 lol “too much work”.
Imagine making it illegal to eat a plant. The world is insane.
Ruled by pedo clowns
Peyote is just cool as hell to look at, and then it makes everything else cool to look at 😁 (but is it really worth like 8 years to destroy such a cute lil guy??)
As a society we should decriminalize psychedelics 😔
@D the real advice is always in the comments. I'm over here like "like hell I'm not gonna eat it after growing it that long" 😂
@D or a bridgesii! Those are my go to mescaline cactus
Graft em, years of growth in a season, propagate, *then* distroy.
@@michaelbecker5995 Yes I grafted seedlings to pereskiopsis and now have so many pups to keep grafting! It's self-perpetuating.
Those little things grow so slowly, I could never rip one out of the ground and cut it open so casually like the people in the video.
Somehow I learned about peyote when I was a kid and of all places, from The X Files. I even had some book from the show that explained the use of the plant and cultural significance in ceremonies.
From what an ol'timer told me, You are supposed to harvest it by slicing it close to the ground leaving the root undisturbed, it will regrow and add new buttons next to it, NEVER pull the root !! Only idiots (dumb asses) who don't know what they are doing, remove root and all !! Just saying !! If I offended any dumb asses, at least you learned something in the process, Don't do it again !! 😜
We need to discuss *PALM OIL* and how deforestation effects critically endangered apes. It's a complicated topic because the oil is an important economic export for regions like Borneo, but it's terribly harmful to the local wildlife. Alternatives, solutions, and other historic facts about Palm trees would be great too! Please and thank you!
It starts at home. There's other chemicals derived from palm oil so you have to be a bit more vigilant in reading ingredients.
Local, sustainable, locavore 🌱
@@onchi3263 Palm oil is in so much more than just our foods. It's in deodorants, cosmetics, shampoos, soaps, and, and, and... It's often listed in the ingredients as "vegetable oil." It's hard to avoid even if you're not eating it.
Carnivores plants for a future episode? They are awesome!
I first knew of this cactus when I saw the Beavis and Butthead movie.
Yes!
"... lightning flashes out the corner of my eyes..." Awesome 😎
It's a very rewarding little cacti to grow

Eyyy, it's awesome to see you covering Peyote; been curious about it, ever since I heard about it in the very first episode of _Grace and Frankie_ 😆🤘
OMG saaaame!! I thought of that when I saw this! Definitely answered all my questions
I have a huge "maceta" with a pitahaya cactus, I bought it in a rural market, and years later I noticed 2 peyote buds near the base 😂
Never had any intention of trying them cuz I'd break and damage the plant. And besides I don't want to risk a bad trip.
I think you are confusing peyote/mescaline with other hallucinogens such as LSD. I've never heard of mescaline "bad trips" other than extreme nausea from the Peyote buttons or otherwise taking extremely high doses - something that eating the bitter, nausea producing buttons seems to discourage.
I have tried synthetic mescaline twice in my misspent youth (early 1970s) and it was the most mellow, peaceful and beautiful experience of my life.
I ate two peyote tops nearly 50 years ago and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. If you're the kind of person who raises plants and respects them to the extent you're describing, I doubt that you COULD have a "bad trip."
@@stephenjones101 every psychedelic can lead to a bad trip when done in a bad setting.
@@origamiswami2275 mescaline is incredibly euphoric compares to other psychedelics. Honestly it reminds me of being on MDMA. Bad trips are still possible on it. It can happen on any psychedelic.
@chu Harry Ah yes, that's how it was sold to me so I always call it "Maceta". It is a clay plant pot, quite pretty with its desert design.
It's the quenchiest!
I understand that reference!
@@ExtremeMadnessXI am responding to your comment over a year later! Hi!
Just wanted to say, that was an excellent choice of attire for this specific episode.
Kinda disappointed that you only mentioned silver mining as a cause for it being endangered here in Mexico when one of the main causes is to satisfy the demand from european, US and Canadian tourists looking to consume it along with the poaching involved in trafficking it to those areas and south east Asia for plant collectors
Their habitat is also being converted to grazing lands
It wouldn't be endangered if growing it yourself wasn't needlessly criminalized.
@@pwabd2784 I agree it definitely shouldn't be illegal to cultivate, it's a beautiful plant and given how much time and effort it takes to grow, I doubt most growers would consider consuming it. Either way, there's always San Pedro and Peruvian Torch, which, while significantly less potent, can be processed rather easily into concentrated extracts, or even pure crystals.
Let me get this straight you guys produce marijuana and cocaine but you can't produce some damn cacti?
@@Wawawawa23 TBM is nearly as potent as peyote and grows very quickly.
A request: can we get a video on Capybaras? I think they're cute AF and love how they adopt things
Depression haunted my life from a very young age, and I was put on a bunch of SSRIs as a child in attempt to deal with it. None worked. Psychedelic mushrooms was brought to my attention. It was the first thing that actually had real effects. They should only be used with great care and respect.
Kindly reach out to a psychedelic experienced doctor I got some guidelines and psilocybin mushrooms from, he got all pyschedelic stuffs and more. I got better from my anxiety also helped in exploration of my human psyched.

How about old forests and the importance of preserving them for a topic? :)
Avatar The Last Airbender was right about cactus juice?
Thank you so much for delving more into plant content! :D
This channel got me interested into floristry in college! Thanks a bunch!

Thank you, Tasha the Amazon, for teaching me about Peyotes!
I've been taking care of one of those for over 20 years. I call him mescalito.
Grow another and name it 'Peyotito'
There’s a lot of potential in psychedelics, I can’t wait to try any of them mushrooms specifically but it’s just so hard to find a reliable source over here, I’ll be glad if anyone can be of help
I’ve tried a lot and since the first time i tried it, I said “it’s a crime against humanity to make psychedelic illegal”
@Jeffrey Hartwhere do I search is it on IG?
I really have had so much wonderful experience with psychedelics.... The key is in the settings
@Jeffrey Hart
Alright, I’m gonna check him out right now
Same. Here.
But is it’s juice the quenchyest?
I understand that reference!
The San Pedro Cactus in Peru has the same Psychoactives.
"i forgot how to talk"
That's the peyote, right there, mmm hmmm.
Why would people get high on peyote which takes years to grow when you can just consume San Pedro cactus that grow very fast and gets huge? it has very similar alkaloids like mescaline.
Id like to think that something "native Americans have been using for 6000 years" didn't just begin being used for ceremony in the 1880s but instead was recognized in the 1880s.
I grew up listening to talk from the 'burnouts' about Peyote & Mesc but is wasn't until a pile of years later I am only now finding out what it is.
Thank you. I will admit that I was beginning to get confused until you said 'Hairy things on the bumpy parts' & I then was right back with ya!
Tasha is by far one of my favorite CZcamsrs honestly
When your defense mechanism shifts your main predator from herbivores to stoners 🙃
have y'all done a floralogic on one of the most important produce of all, the humble corn? has million varieties, a fascinating history and is super important globally
Oh, bonus opportunity for some corny puns too.
Those rituals probably went back way further than the 1880s I would think
So many things wrong with this information, less than 60 seconds in and I'm rolling my eyes...
I think you did barrel cactus already. Why not our fuzzy little buddies the Cholla? Or you could tackle (figuratively, don't do this in real life) the Saguaro?
I love these, they're so cute. Cacti are some of my favorite plants.
Also I'm furious people are poaching them
Wow- Thankyou for the Peyote presentation-and your delivery 👌from Tasmania!
The end of the video was the most relatable thing I've seen in a WHILE ! thanks for validating half of my conversations lol
Tye-dye shirt for the psychedelic cactus. Perfect.
Gotta admit I never knew what kind of plant peyote was/came from. Would love to see you talk about lotuses tho!
what about are there any berries or fruits that are out their in the wild that humans dont eat or cultivate, that are perfectly fine for humans to eat but we don't?
As a Native American child, grandmother made a bitter tea we had to drink before the start of each school year. This protected us against diseases. I never got sick until she passed and I went away for University. I only learned in my 50s that it was weak peyote tea. We can’t get it anywhere because of Government policies. Sad. It really works! We Never hallucinated!!!!
The cowbell was a nice touch.
I need to get my hands on that cactus, so can I wrap my mind around it. 👽
Peyote : Imma be bitter so noone eats me
Humans: eugh......whaaaaa trippy
Peyote : NONONO NOT LIKE THAT !
I have really enjoyed this series, bring season 2 !!
I have used this magical cactus to travel through my mind on my treks through the desert. It helped me to appreciate the wonders of, and need to protect, the natural flora and fauna. They have spirit They are priceless.
Happy Trails.
Everyone find these in GTA 5 to become animals.
Really?
@@quixoticpj9804 yes yes yes
@@AlienBemular kinda like a call back to some old hippie books I wonder if they read. About shamans morphing into animals after taking hallucinate cactuses
Imagine a country banning your drug of choice, and then you forming a religion to make yourself exempt from that ban... that's gotta have been done more than a single time in history, right?
I love the enthusiasm of this channel. It really rubs off on me
My father has one of these in his cactus collection. It’s very healthy and has even flowered on occasion.
In Canada Peyote was quietly decriminalized in 1996 but I had to buy 6 seeds from Lithuania, which I got one cactus.
You know the stuff grows wild in the U.S. right? It doesn't grow in Lithuania though... You probably could have bought seeds dirt cheap and gotten them sooner. Even before 1996, I don't remember peyote ever being illegal in Canada. Mescaline, the active ingredient in Peyote, was and still is illegal in Canada. Peyote itself is exempt from the law as part of indigenous rights, but mescaline is not. If cops stopped you and found peyote buttons, as soon as it tests positive for mescaline and you're not a Native American, you're effed.
I just recently checked out Tasha's music and it's straight fire. I suggest anyone that likes rap check it out
“The little hairy things growing out the bumpy parts!” (fights laughing) (I wonder how many re-takes she had to do)! 🤣🤣🤣👌🏾
Peyote (jikuri) ceremonies have been going on for millennia. Should do more research on that part. It also has helped veterans from wars fight PTSD. All I'm saying it had been used by my ancestors for a very long time.
Bounsweet is a Grass type Pokémon introduced in Generation 7. It is known as the Fruit Pokémon.
Because it exudes a delicious smell from its entire body, Bounsweet is popular with Pokémon and people of the Alola region. Bounsweet's scent has a calming effect on humans, so many people let them live inside their homes as a sort of air freshener.
Very interesting. 🤔😏😋
Thank you for writing this very informative 😂😂
@@ace_wash8363 That's the world of Pokemon they eat each other for food and humans use them as friends and fighters lol
@@ace_wash8363 Lol I know right ! In the manga series most of the Pokédex entries are fleshed out where as the anime leaves our stuff like that 😱
I wish pokemon had a format game or not where they introduce more pokemon with dark origins. Sure ghost pokemon are dark and a few others like Toxapex, but most are not, even if they have dark moments/references like Cacturne, Gothitelle, and Sliggoo.
There should at least be one pokemon of similar evilness to Toxapex in every type, every playstyle (I love Toxapex, because it is evil in a very unusual, being a defensive pokemon, but in a realistic way), every body plan, and every rarity.
Anything that helps people is illegal
Yes, Anything Natural from Mother Nature that helps is usually made a class 1 illegal substance, so it cannot be researched at all for its Pros and Cons, and kept from humanity, it's a shame too !!

Flora logic IS THE BEST Animalogic EVER !!!!
You're fantastic. So much instructive
Sustainable harvesting is done by not damaging the root. Leave green all around the base while removing the button and the base will grow new pups. Please don't harvest in the wild. Grafting to pereskiopsis also speeds things along significantly.
Can you do a video on the plants that absorb inordinate amounts of Nickel??
"Drink cactus juice, it'll quench ya, nothing's quenchier, it's the quenchiest!"
The plant creates its own heat the best way to find them is after a light snow, even at a mile high they grow but they're not as many as they are lower altitude
@Animalogic, it would have been good to have ideas put forward on how to preserve wild populations, as well as cultivate from seeds to both boost wild populations, as well as make it available to the public as an ornamental window cactus.
Peyote and all psychedelics should be legal
All drugs should be legal. Stop creating a black market and save the money from fighting gangs and keeping people that didn't hurt anyone than themselves in prison. Use the money on helping people that have problems with drugs instead. Normal people wouldn't just start shooting heroin, just because it became legal. And those who are interested in that, really doesn't care if some man-made law says you aren't allowed.
Drugs will always win the war on drugs.
I like the way you think.
What really should be illegal is STUPIDITY!
Great episode Tasha! Might as well do another hallucinogenic plant? How bout Datura?
I honestly watched just for the Amazon. 😊 The outtakes were a nice bonus.
I recently been thinking a lot about Peyotes, how did you read my mind?!
Just go online and buy a San Pedro 1 foot and make a tea of it,if you need help I can walk you through the steps on how to do so. Honestly reallly easy if you want to get high.
Can you do a video about morning glories? I heard the seeds are also hallucinogenic but it's legal to grow.
Informative… Thank you for posting this!

Hallucinogens are awesome in the right settings. I learned a lot about myself and how I think by using LSD at times and Shrooms.
Always wanted to try but never had the chance to try mescaline.
Get some san pedro they grew mutch faster and they are légal in most country.
They chem are not exactly the same as lophophora but thy content mesca like lopho
Mescaline is my favorite, never eat a lop always eat San Pedro and bridgesiis
