Peyote, called Lophophora williamsii in Latin, is a small spineless cactus.
Its native region extends from the US south western states of Texas and New Mexico through to central Mexico.
The cactus flowers at around 4-5 years and produces nice small pink flowers.
The seeds are small and black. They require warm and humid conditions to germinate. This, along with over harvesting of
mature plants in the wild and slow growth - are the main reasons this desert plant is becoming rare in its natural habitat.
Numbers are reducing due to harvesting for commercial purposes. All Lophophora species grow extremely slow.
Human cultivated specimens grow considerably faster. Peyote is considered to be in danger of extinction in the wild.
Peyote contains a large spectrum of phenethylamine alkaloids, the principal of which is mescaline.
It also contains;
hordenine, n-methylmescaline,
lophophorine, tyramine, o-methylanhalonidine,
n-acetylmescaline, pellotine and anhalamine.
The usual dose for mescaline is about 300 to 500 mg. That equates to roughly 5g of dried peyote.
The effects last about 10 to 12 hours. Peyote is a spiritual drug. At times the effects are accompanied by visual or auditory effects.
History of use.
The Native American deification(One that embodies the qualities of a god) of Peyote is estimated to be around 10,000 years old.
7000 year old (Radio Carbon Dated) Peyote cactus buttons have even been uncovered in Shumla Cave in southern Texas, USA.
The local Huichol Indians who live in North Western Mexico still use peyote sacramentally, they have been doing so since around 200 A.D.
The Huichols follow traditional rules when they go on their pilgrimage to collect the sacred Peyote. The journey to collect the sacred plants
is nearly 400 kilometers each way, by foot, through desert.
They eat it raw. To honor the precedent set by their elders.
