| [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peyote|Peyote]] is a small cactus that contains psychoactive alkaloids, mescaline in particular, which induces similar hallucinogenic effects as psilocybin and LSD. It is native, and considered sacred, in Mexico and southwestern Texas. The Spanish word's roots can be traced to "Nahuatl //peyōtl//, meaning 'caterpillar cocoon', from a root //peyōni//, 'to glisten'." It is known for its mind-altering capabilities and has a long history (5,500 years) of psychedelic and medicinal uses by indigenous people in North America. | [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peyote|Peyote]] is a small green spineless cactus that contains psychoactive alkaloids, mescaline in particular, which induces similar hallucinogenic effects as psilocybin and LSD.
