Summary
The Native American Church warns of a peyote shortage, a sacred cactus used in religious ceremonies.
Overharvesting, land development, and surging demand from Western psychedelic seekers contribute to the decline.
Peyote, which grows slowly and only in limited regions of the US and Mexico, is further pressured by decriminalization movements and illegal poaching.
The Church has called for conservation measures.
The shortage threatens traditional practices, as the cactus is vital to the spiritual and cultural life of its 350,000 adherents.
It depends. People on r/druggardening were always sharing when they found some selling cultivars which had nice concentrations.
So varies hugely.
I’ve been growing these for more than ten years. Still have never eaten, lol. I could make them grow faster as well but basically I have like 3 foot longs about. I could go and take a picture but can’t be arsed to get up.
