San Pedro prevented the worsening of my suicidal depression. I am now happy and well most of the time!
where did you do it?
Guide and teach
That’s what I call a good mescaline trip😜👍
It's just called "peyote" ,san pedro is the name of the place its from
Cacti*
Bringing religion into ceremony was a way to protect the San Pedro from being so taboo. It was even renamed from Huachuca to San Pedro to give it a religious twist. Before Christ was brought into the ceremony the participants were sentenced to death if they were caught using the plant, the conquistadors saw it as devil worship. The shamans adapted and used crosses in the ceremony to protect them from prosecution without it the old traditions would have completely been lost and would likely be illegal today. I think it was a very wise adaptation.

That may have been a good trick in the past,
but now, we don't need to bring the false religions into this.
Wachuma is a manifestation of the Sun.
Our Mother Earth and Father Sun does not need any help from the Fake Religions.
sources?
you're getting your knowledge of history from a youtube comment you know that right?
How much Native American culture is still in this ritual?
LuckyWizard52 bingo sounds like the same with Santo Daime religion using Ayahuasca.
Keep it roots keep it shamanic. At the end of the day all religion praise the same thing the sun ☀️ its sad that they just don’t know. Religion = legion of RE ☀️ but it got twisted by the deceptive nature of Kali Yuga. Perhaps we are in the transition phase of the new Age of Aquarius and dwapara Yuga ascending. Awakening !
"Can I measure your cactus" ....."si" .....ded af
Tanner Gonzalez 😂
It's funnier that the actual sentence was in spanglish " puedo medir your cactus" haha si..
Tanner Gonzalez gay asf
😅
May I measure your cactus and honor it? Si...
Hamilton SNATCHED that cup real quick lol
Would like to do the same some day I would of snatched the cup too lmao
@@Luke-yp4tv absolutely phenomenal lol
@@alexmclovin3724 I second this
If you knew hoiw bad this taste you would do the same. I would say that ayahuasca is a tasty delicatesse compared to this. IU knoiw well .
Probably the worst taste ever.
Even extracted or lab pure mescaline tastes pretty bad when dissolved in liquid
The shaman was not shy about getting the guest to do the work 😂 “you can do it”
It’s him teaching. It’s also very important that people have a physical connection to what they’re doing. It’s said to be best when you handle these psychedelics yourself or have some hand in it. In fact, you’re supposed to truly go and ask permission before you go and cut a piece you yourself will ingest, if you can’t, you’re still a supposed to handle it at some point and show it real respect. San Pedro must be prepared a specific way (well..typically) and I’ve heard that when you specifically treat it with kindness and respect during preparation, it will apparently treat you kindly.
I think it's because hes used to foreigners asking him if they can help, so he knows they want to help. ❤
nice job shooting this like a damn horror movie
Noot Gourd fr
Ryan Borganson .....neither acid
yeah wtf
@Ryan Borganson Just cause Acid has a certain affinity for being a party drug doesn't mean it doesn't deserve respect as a psychadelic 🤣🤣🤣
Noot Gourd - your reality is manifested within. I listened and heard beautiful words being said. Thunderstorms 🌩 are wonderful way to cleanse... amazing work these people do
Aww man when I saw Hamilton tripping at the end, wooh boy. San Pedro doesn't fuck around. The strangest part is how lucid your thoughts can be while seeing geometric patterns manifesting themselves out of walls.
for real its the weirdest/coolest psychedelic besides mushrooms Imo
It would be laughs if the shaman just handed the 2ft cactus log to Hamilton and just said you gotta eat the whole thing to feel the effects.
Lol
....rectally
I did psilocybin fungi 3 years ago in my room total darkness I screamed and cried off 7 grams of mushrooms best healing I've ever had in my life
Is it scary or you see images in the dark?
7 grams?yeah your going to see things no matter light or dark
Jesus H. 7 grams?
I’ve done 5 , it was life changing 🙏🏻🙏🏻 , ayahuasca was just if not more powerful.
I've had San Pedro. Super long trip, felt great the whole time. Afterwards I had no desire to smoke weed for three years.
That's interesting man , we're you a daily smoker ,, did you take the san pedro for that reason ,,can you tell me about you experience ,,thansk in advance
@@trucks7863 I tried psilocybin fungi because I was going through heavy depression I took 7 grams screamed and cried my eyes out in my room lights off black curtains on the windows total darkness I used to smoke weed a lot even pop pills and drink cough syrup to get high haven't done another drug in over 4 years I love natural psychedelics it's fat better than anything on this earth and with professional therapy with it you can conquer anything in this world
Aye man I’m still waiting for you to answer my mans questions
@cooperroberts1453 in my exp, these type of active ingredients can be almost overwhelming and sort of reset my brain where I can function without desire to impair my mind. Everyone is different though so always treat these medicines with proper respect 🙏
Hamilton is the perfect man for this documentation, he has true respect through and through.
I wish cucumbers were as big as that cactus, salt, pepper and even humus would go nicely on a giant slice.
I got a nice cucumber for ya
Gibbs Gaming hahaha I should have known that comment was on its way.
Weirdly enough it tastes like cucumber
MICHAEL FLAHERTY haha I know, very closely
They can't grow that big their called culls normally they get used for making pickle relish and never see the open market because they won't keep very long but if you want them you can run yourself just be patient and don't pick it too early
Glad to see something about San Pedro being put out
Part of what is so great about HM is he always gives really good information. I feel like there's so much personality, opinion, or 'controversy' out there on offer, but that stuff is cheap. Real information, with perspective and humanity is rare and I value it. Thanks HM. Take it from the man.
I was half expecting that door to close and Goodbye Horses to start playing.
Oh No Sir! Love that song LOL
Even when he’s fine, Hamilton looks like he’s high af!!
You recorded over 8 minutes of video and drank the San Pedro cactus but NEVER described once it's effects. Am I the one that is hallucinating?
I'm pretty sure they want you to watch the full episode for that lol
My fav vitamin D deficient tripper!
“Can I measure your cactus?”
hamilton, you rascal!
Lmaoo
its a bit prickly but sure.
Si
NOTHING like San Pedro!! Gratitude
Am I tripping or did that whole episode make 0 sense
Maybe you're white and do not understand what a shaman does.
Yea I had to rewind a couple times basically they take a psychedelic cactus tea to sopposably cure people and tell them stuff about there future basically a witch doctor
@@talaverajr391 Hey I'm white and I followed it perfectly. I even figured out the psychosomatic ailments part before it was mentioned.
@@mimszanadunstedt441 bro I'm sorry about that racist comment. I regret saying such an ignorant comment.
@@talaverajr391 Apology accepted
Vice with the teasers of this series, release the whole thing!!!
LaserMantis Watch it on Viceland most likely full episodes won't be uploaded here
Man up and pay the few dollars...
guitarmaster127 stfu goof
piracy do it
Peru is a amazing place
Thank you. I subbed ..been experimenting tripping on lsd25 in various doses Cubensis DMT MDMA my Son brought me a bunch .... been healing here in S Florida....haven't had any in over 30 yrs so its a Godsend ... we've got transplanted San Pedro growing here in Jupiter and its doing great
✌️
You can put faith and healing in all things. Do good, have positive intentions. Do harm to none, including yourself. As above so below. With hope, love and light. So mote it be.
Steven Whelchel What happens to those who would use magic to harm others... especially one wholly undeserving of the willed hatred, harm and chaos?
What becomes of those that would inflict such pure malice and evil?
Steven Whelchel well said
@@lockandloadlikehell The only thing that could happen to those who inflict pure malice and evil. Rebirth.
@@lockandloadlikehell Nothing good. Many shamanic traditions forbid using magic to harm others, and focus only on healing.
The best way to consume San Pedro is like the indigenous people do skin the waxy layer and eat the green parts ont the white flesh or the core this method has caused the most pain but the most healing the pain is part of the life changing magic of this plant
"Puedo medir su cactus" 😂😂
He is doing exactly what televangelists preachers do!!! Declarations of faith have always been the remedy but with peyote there's a advantage because it is a window to the spirit world for good or bad
He only included the christianity because it prevents them from being persecuted by the church and accused of witchcraft, at least that why they originally started doing it, now it is just habit.
I’m growing several in my backyard. A few peyote inside. Non PC tricho’s i mean. Potent little devils. 🌵 ❤️
I hope that here will be a true LSD episode.
I'm still doing it and boy have I got stories for y'all
I kept Petote buttons alive and rooted for 10 yrs in a greenhouse in NYC Queens ...until the heater died in the middle of winter circa 1977
+Mike Davino You sound like someone who might know some of my dead head friends?! That's bad ass I've got quite the green thumb myself
So much Idols in one video.
So, this guy has a massive tolerance to some mescaline. I don't see how him taking it every day is going to have such a profound effect on him.
He might not even notice that little sip he gets.
I tried multiple days in a row and it worked just fine. Doesnt seem to have the tolerance effect of LSD.
BLUE DRAGONFLY I definitely think it’s possible. He doesn’t have a phone, doesn’t have a day job, no modern day distractions. Him doing it everyday is t like you a me doing it every day...what’s stopping him as he seemingly lives a humble farmer life?
Chris W How was your experience? Was is easy to acquire and prepare? How does it compare to other hallucinogenics?
You still get speedy and relaxing effects if you drink it often almost like some sativa with minimal visuals mostly altered depth perception
Absolutely true. Especially taking it everyday. It probably does nothing.
It was an amazing experience in Cuzco. Everything made sense to me.. meaning of being the meaning of being me.
I just ordered some san pedro seeds in the mail excited to start growing
I was absolutely sure he was going to use the swords to cut the cacti. I’m disappointed
The swords are used in the healing ceremonies to cut away attachments and entities and they have more success with it treating mental illness than western medicine by a long shot.
The music makes me think they are drinking some "almond flavored" koolaid or something.
As an addict myself, I would love to be on this show 😂
it works if you really have the intention. Someone I know has donde it a few times to treat his addiction issues. I live in Peru, you can pretty much find San Pedro plants almost everywhere.
I want to take a trip out there . I need to.
What’s with the dark vibes, and macabre theatrical perspective, Hamilton?
The journalist and scientist stance fits you much better, and much more enjoyable to watch.
His science isnt critical.. and his journalism is biased. WTF.
Yes..dislike the stereotypes this energy reinforces too.
I love San Pedro
I wonder why he leaves the white middle part of the cactus in as he makes the tea? I’ve prepared a San Pedro cacti a few years ago to try mescaline and from what I had researched online, you want to remove the bitter outer skin (it’s like a waxy translucent skin around the spines and covers the dark green flesh), as well as the inner white part since it doesn’t contain any of the psychoactive alkaloids and can contribute to more of the nausea. I would then just finely chop the green flesh and let it dry out for a few days before putting them into huge pill capsules so I didn’t have to deal with the bitterness (trust me, even without the outer skin and inner white flesh, the green flesh was still SUPER bitter). If I remember correctly, a 12’ cacti made about 12-15 large capsules and was enough for one really strong trip (longest trip I had ever had as well out of all of the psychedelics I used to experiment with: about 16-20 hours).
If I had to guess, they include it in the tea because the nausea and purging/vomiting is probably part of the ritual?
That’s exactly right the pain is part of the healing
because he wasnt making it to get high, it is literally their religion, he is a shaman with apprentices who will carry on the work after him, and they have more success treating mental illness than western medicine does.
I live in a rodeo town so it's all kinda desert-like all over. And I've found multiple San Pedro in peoples' yards. One that was as tall as a house with 20+ arms on it.
yeah but thats PC and not high in mescaline
Couldnt immagine being lucky enough to have a whole yard of potent psychedelic cacti
Do what a lot of people are, start planting.
it's incredibly easy to grow. don't imagine, do it
move to texas and get them whenever you want.
I know im not the only who got high af and ended up here 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve prepared San Pedro before and had very intense CEV’s
The brew I cooked up was a very dark green brownish color
but here it doesn’t look that potent
I don’t think they had a full on trip maybe
Slight visuals like objects breathing and fuzziness if that.
Speculation here but i think different brews and subspecies for different uses. Might not be appropriate for the people seeking common aid to be on an otherworldly journey.
5:51 "Look my brother, your house is a bit cursed"
A truely spiritual ethnogen and could change humanity in a drastic turn towards harmony and love. It revitalizes the primal connection man has with the wild. The compression of an elaborate maze of interconnected mocules forming a matrix trapped in a dimension called earth! The mystical medicine is an elaborate tool to see the fabric of existence, even if just for a glimpse
The maze is your brain wrinkles or neuroconnections you can see sometimes while tripping.
"Can I measure your cactus?" is something I thought I would never hear 😂
San predo has such a beautiful entity
Yes, that is because, San Pedro is a manifestation of the Sun.
It is life giving, heart opening purity.
I always have San Pedro in my Peruvian torch brews
I've been sober for 20 years and would like some Ganja and then try San Pedro and Peyote. Right now, I fast a lot on Water and I drank 4 cups of coffee an hour ago.
That dad on the street drinking it too, like what a great time to go on a deep trip, "you take care of daddy while I trip balls ok honey?"
3:29 now that's one kool-aid party I'd join
I need that experience urgently
found out that at least peyote is 100% legal in canada to buy grow and eat. best thing... im canadian lol
Downed a bunch of san pedro tea for the first time an hour ago, waiting for it to kick in, starting to get so nauseaus which excites me because i know once i puke thats when the trip starts
How was it ???
@4Noirr_ it sucked i got so sick and didnt trip, just felt a bit spacey!
Hey, bro. Don't spit on my cactus.
FANTASTIC!!!
Seems like a nice chap
Nice cucumber DUDE
Ok I'm moving to San Pedro's 😊
I enjoyed seeing the brew prepared; however I note that this neither seems particularly sincere or helpful. I never want to trap or ensnare a person: love is wanting to help someone be their best. A man who impregnates and runs is not a great father to have and these distinctions in what love is and is not seem completely missing. The other thing that would be great would be statistical follow-through: What percentage of people are helped (did the girl get better?).
This dude trips every day lmao
Quit disabling comment sections Vice!
you'll notice he's snorting it, you really gotta do a lot of that and then you're gonna throw it all up, harder than ever, and the trip begins
All there is is love
Is Love all there is?
I am desperate to know where I can get a poncho like the one Hamilton’s wearing. I’ve look everywhere and can not find one like it and dying to know where!
i felt like hamilton looked really sad the whole video, hope he's doing ok
TBH he always looks that way, not sure he has any emotions left in him, lol.
Is the full episode on youtube? Can't find it. One of the best episodes period.
I don't know why my son still has asthma I brought him to see the cross-eyed cactus eating guy?
Uhh why did he spit modello on the cactus?
Aqua de Florida, used ubiquitously in a number of South American shamanic practices.
Peruvian flower water
There is a lot of clarity in San Pedro.
(Psychedelics are way easily accessible for me from a mycologist who introduced me to dmt and other psychedelics products)…‽¿

God Hamilton has the coolest job!
Wow, this was great!
How to cure:
Step 1: have person drink cactus broth
Step 2: bless them with tobacco
Step 3: proceed to spit all over them
Step 4: have them rub it in everywhere
Step 5: wait for the magic to happen
Western Medicine cure-
1. take a pill
2. take a pill
3. take a pill to help control horrible side effects of the last prescribed pill
4. pill is pulled off market because it made too many people suicidal
5. the doctor will see you in 3 weeks
6. your insurance is gone
7. stress gives you ulcers and otc meds make it worse
8. doctor gives you 2 more pils
9. you die of cancer
hippywolf haha spot on. Looks like a double-edged sword. I think the lesson here is life will undoubtedly shit on you, just keep on moving.
It’s a fetish ;)
@@SoSoSlick420 Well...mescaline is a very powerful substance and is NOT snake oil - saying that it is just 'cactus broth' is being a little naive no? Having been on some deep trips all I can say is that hallucinogens have the ability to make you look back on every little detail of your life, pas relationships, siblings, parents - it is very powerful and I was able to forgive people and gain a better perspective of my own life. This will cause some people to freak out, they cannot deal with their lives.
@@SuperGoonch First time on the internet my friend?
He like dont mind if do have that drink now
“Puedo medir su cactus” 😳😂😂
Bruh said put on some turpentine lol
This footage is amazing
8:04 What is he saying here at the end????? It sounds like he’s saying,
“To drink San Pedro almost every single night of your life, that must do some really interesting things to your mind.”
But that doesn’t make sense. How do you drink San Pedro?????
I’m not a spiritual or religious person, but there’s something so deeply beautiful and profound about their tradations
reminds me of Carlos Castaneda's books
Makes me wanna go to peru and learn how to be a shaman too 🤔
Interesting thing is the 2 foot cutting they took from the cactus is only 2 years old. San Pedro grows extremely quick, about a foot a year.
In ideal climates and conditions
That cactus was at least 20 years old not 2. The cactus was at least 15 feet tall.
Beautiful plants
That's a lot of work. *nacho libre voice "si"
best vice vid
San Pedro makes time squishy
I chopped about a foot of my san pedro off, chopped it up, put it in vodka and extracted it in the microwave. Drank it. Tripped ballllllllzzzz son.
i fucking love this show sooo much!! i wish i could find it streaming somewhere
YESS!! GOOD, I'VE DONE IT AND IT INSPIRED ME TO MAKE MUSIC
Seeing that San Pedro liquid gave me flashbacks. That stuff is so disgusting. I'll never be able to forget that slimey texture, and the cactus taste doesn't help at all
Garrett Lent you could make a tea and filter the sludge out, works for me
Marshaa Brady A/B extraction is my preferred method
Capsuled ayahuasca.. Take enough pills and eventually you might find yourself feeling uneasy when starring at a pill.
Its no different than drinking some aloe vera
Garrett Lent lol. Tastes like soapy cabbage.
Keep your cacteyes on the prize.
Hamilton looks blasted lol
Hamilton 😊
1:06 what is the music? Someone help me out please.
I really like this
Hamilton, you a lucky dude
Rituals are people attempting to reach inner peace and getting high at the same time. All the while claiming that the high was in fact spiritual. Where I am from, we enjoy getting spiritual from 2-5pm or whatever time your local happy hour starts.
Lets give these bad dads hallucinogens
