Honestly this whole thread is a cesspool, pure psychic damage. There are literally functional alternatives, but still these self-enlightened egolords can’t keep their fucking hands off an endangered plant. The prevailing attitude looks to be “Its there, so I i am entitled to plunder it”
As someone who loved drugs back in the day, I always told people that they should grow their own San Pedro’s or another common mescaline cactus and not peyote. I know a guy whose entire house is filled with different species of peyote, literally every inch of his floor covered in pots. He had trichoceruses he kept for tripping. If it didn’t keep him busy and happy with himself, I’d say it was a hoard. But he was growing for repopulation and regularly planted around town, so it’s healthy-ish for him. Got himself off heroin by growing peyote for repopulation, not by taking it. He was the only white guy I’ve ever met that taking peyote would be perfectly ethical, but still didn’t do it
It’s not hard to be respectful. Especially when San Pedros are legal and extremely easy to get.
