SAN PEDRO

We are talking about two different things when we speak of San Pedro. Western society puts emphasis on the chemicals it contains but its other aspect is the special energy of the plant. 
The chemicals and their effects - the dizziness and dilation of your pupils and so forth - will eventually leave your body, but the energy will always stay with you, as will the wisdom of the plant which becomes part of your brain. The medicine wakes up your memory so you remember who you are, and this knowledge is yours for the rest of your life so you can never forget the most important truths.
