Whether it's due to its scarcity, the ties between psychedelics and mysticism, the decline in its popularity among recreational users, or its status as an illegal substance, there appears to be an air of mystery around the little plant called Peyote.
Here are some illuminating facts about this mescaline-producing cactus:💡
🌵Mescaline is primarily found in the top of the Peyote cactus, which is also known as the “crown”.
🌵A common practice for users of Peyote is to cut the crown off of the cactus instead of digging up the whole plant, preserving the plant’s ability to regrow new crowns.
🌵Beyond its slow rate of maturity, the unsustainable harvesting and poaching of Peyote have also increased its scarcity.
🌵Although it is illegal to possess this plant in the US, the Native American Church has fought for and preserved their right to use Peyote as a religious sacrament.
