Peyote is endangered and takes ~20 or 30 years to grow a small plant. Just stick to san pedro, way cheaper, easier to grow and you aren't killing off a sacred and really beautiful succulent.

Great advice!

Thank you for the advice. I wasn't aware that it takes that long to grow. I just heard that Peyote shamans cut only the top 2/3 of the cactus to allow it to regrow. But if San Pedro is more common than it is probably also easier to get anyway.

Yes. Peyote is also highly concentrated with Mescaline. Both San Pedro and Peyote are simply containers for this wonderful alkaloid called Mesclaine.
