The cactus can store great amounts of water and survive in extremely hot and dry environments. Their spines have two major roles. They keep the plant safe from animals but also prevent loss of water via transpiration. Some cacti contain a substance called mescaline which induces hallucinogenic effects. Shamans used it to get into a trans-like state to "communicate" with God. Cacti can survive from 15 to 300 years, depending on the species. 🌵
