San Pedro, also known as Huachuma, is a mescaline-containing cactus used in Andean healing traditions for thousands of years. The cactus itself is legal to grow as an ornamental plant in most US jurisdictions, but mescaline is a Schedule I substance federally, so extracting or consuming the active compound is not legal in the US outside specific religious exemptions. Most ceremonial work happens internationally or within recognized religious frameworks.

San Pedro ceremonies are typically facilitated over one to two days in a ceremonial or retreat setting, often incorporating time in nature and traditional healing practices. Navii connects patients with experienced facilitators who work within appropriate legal and cultural frameworks.

Who it's for
