I live in AZ and SP is supposedly very abundant out here. Lately I have been reading a lot about it and today I thought that I may have spotted some growing around my area. I want to do an extraction, but to make a concintration of an unknown alkaloid and do it is retarted. I currently have an order of sp comming, but it would be great if I could just walk down the street and cut some down lol. Are any of you able to identify the cacti from these pictures?

I realize this is not easy from a pic and I dont expect a positive identifacation, but I would just like some expirienced input, thanks!
