New Year Sale Ended, and HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎊
The New Year Sale four day event has now ended. I intended this sale to continue through New Year’s Day today, but the shop sold out and I’m not doing a restock drop just for today.
HAPPY 2026 EVERYONE ! 💚🎉. Not to get all mushy, but I am deeply grateful for you. You allow me to carve a weird and happy living out of these awesome plants. It ain’t the best way to get rich, but it sure is a wonderful way to exist.
Not cutting orders today due to continued heavy rain, but if I could, it would be for all four days of the New Year Sale, and would amount to the most cuttings needed in a single day since starting this business (not including all those free XL yearlings that go with all those cuttings!). Things continue to look wet for the next 3-4 days, but I’ll get tracking out to everyone as quickly as possible. Thank you in advance for any needed patience.
This coming Sunday (Jan 4) I might skip the Sunday Shop Drop. The mid week drop sometimes gets skipped, but I’ve never skipped a Sunday since starting The Cactus Jones 5 years ago (which is nuts when I think about it). If Sunday is skipped, it will be a much needed break to catch up on everything from shipping to winter storm clean up.

General shop Info:
Always Free Shipping for Californians
Shipping is now free for California residents! If you live in California, simply subtract shipping from the total (do the math in your head) when you make your Venmo or Zelle payment. Easy peasy. Note, Californians only please. I check! If you’re in a neighboring state and decide “I’m close enough to Cali to not pay shipping”, I will have to send you a friendly email to pay shipping to complete the transaction. Please don’t make me send artificially friendly emails, it’s awkward.
The Sunday Shop Drop:
This shop gets restocked every single Sunday (the “Sunday Shop Drop”). If you’re here for the first time and you don’t see much, that’s because it’s mostly sold out since the last Sunday drop.
Mid Week Drops:
Sometimes the Sunday drop sells out quickly (by Monday or Tuesday), so I’ll do a mid week drop on Wednesday or Thursday. Mid week drops happen more often during spring and summer.
Add-on Freebies:
I often, but not always, include an “Add-on Freebie” in my drops. Sometimes these freebies are super generous, like full size 10” tips of a clone. Don’t forget to add it to your cart, as long as there’s already something else in your cart.
Emojis:
I use an oversimplified and somewhat silly (but effective) emoji legend in my listings, as follows:
👑 — Named clones or rarer cultivars (Kingstock)
👑💎 — Extra rare / collectible / desirable Kingstock. Sometimes this means that it’s an extra beefy / large cut, or unusually / favorably shaped
🌶️ — Has enough potency* for ceremonial use, based on my anecdotal personal assay (not based on lab work!). If a listing has no ranking, that means it either lacks much potency (such as LER or Yowie) or, more often the case, I simply don’t know yet. I can’t assay them all, there’s too many Pokémon.
🌶️🌶️ — Highest potency* rating, there are currently 14 of these.
* Potency is shared only for purposes of collectibility, not for purposes of consumption. I will not discuss preparation or consumption. My customer base is collectors, and potency relates to collectibility. ‘Nuff said!
Why no credit cards or PayPal?
Due to my openness in communicating about these amazing plants (Trichocereus), I have been blacklisted by all credit card payment processors, along with PayPal. I now only transact with Venmo, Zelle, and CashApp.
————-
Gift Cards are now available! Have a friend or family member who’s always jonesin’ for Trichocereus? Give ‘em a Cactus Jones gift card! Available in denominations of $20, $50, $100, $250 and $500.
Cactus Jones gift cards have no expiration, and they’re easy to redeem.
