September 25, 2013
Texas- A game warden was contacted by U.S. Border Patrol about some peyote cactus they had found on a ranch. The federal agents were tracking illegal immigrants when they found three burlap sacks full of peyote, and the warden was contacted to help them dispose of it. The total weight of the peyote was 297 pounds with a value of almost $24,000.

Waste? Most DEFINITELY. Endangered plant? Ummmm...no.
There are HUGE stocks of plants and seeds all around the globe. There are many countries (Canada, UK and Germany) where they are outright legal or growing them is not frowned upon. Hell, you can even buy seeds and year-old (and older!)plants from suppliers in this country on e-gay if you know how to search and what to look for. 
I belong to a forum where a coop-purchasers will buy 5,000 - 10,000 seeds at a time. Believe me, peyote is not an endangered plant.

peyote is not endangered in the wild... Do some research.
The stands in Texas are threatened because of lack of conservation, while to the south in mexico there are massive stands in areas that are practically untouched. Try not to be so anglo centric brah.

thats all I've ever read that on the internet and in articles.
In a few places, so I don't even believe you without a source.
I don't even know what anglo centric is, but I wasn't rude any way. So i don't care.

Peyote is not endangered but it is certainly under a lot of pressure with the root plowing of huge tracts of desert and overharvesting in Mexico. A thousand buttons sells for 350 usd at the gardens. That haul of three sacks aint worth 24k by a long shot.....

Peyote is certainly endangered in Texas. As someone who cares about psychedelic Americana, that's bad news and if the game warden doesn't graft or plant any viable buttons then it's a real loss...

That'dthe way of nature. Things go away after time. You can't save everything. Its just cactus without all that bullshit religion or fake "mystical experience" junk attached.
Mescaline can be synthesized so why bother with a one stupid cacti?

Yeah, "it's just a cactus" but no creature, cactus or otherwise should have to be subject to wanton destruction just because of the prohibition-laden mindset of idiot politicians.
Luckily there are a lot of folks who are dedicated to propagating the cactus in private the world over. Mad respect to those folks.

Of all the stories of drugs being seized by authorities, this one is a real downer.

But all the the religious experience and connotations are attatched...and that "mystical experience" is quite real, I guarantee you. The cacti actually having psychoactive chemicals tends to do that.
