| Petunia violacea |
In the Highland of Ecuador Shanin - Petunia violacea- was utilized as an entheogen. Chemical analysis on this particular species of Petunia did not detect any alkaloids and the active constituents are still unknown.
The Indians of Ecuador report feelings of levitation and soaring through the air. Our shanin was organically grown in Argentina.

Trichocereus bridgesii is known as Achuma in Bolivia where it is grown both as a hedge plant and placed on top of walls as protection for gardens. It is a fast-growing columnar cactus grows 5 meters high, branching at the base.
In La Paz Trichocereus bridgesii was traditionally used as a sacrament by the Indians and was also popular amongst the young people “for its stimulating effects upon the psyche”.
This unique and stunning cactus has grown to become our favorite Trichocereus species for it’s character and spirit, and of course its formidable drooping four-inch-long spines.
