297 pounds of peyote found by border patrol

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.

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.

Wow. Your ignorance is showing once again. Peyote cacti contain DOZENS of active alkaloids in addition to mescaline that make the experience of ingesting them unique and distinguishable from the experience produced solely by mescaline. Get your facts straight and then maybe your opinion can be taken more seriously.

So does T.B cacti. Its still just a fucken cacti. I was only talking about mescaline not the others. Rating don't mean shit. You guys use that like a popular Gage of "my opinions are all the same as yours, lets be fuck buddies"
How was I supposed to have my facts straight when all I said was mescaline can be synthesized? The only fact I said was true so what the fuck are you talking about?
Its just a fucken cacti. It can make you trip that's all their is to it. Nothing magical about it. We trip on it all the time. Sure it feels mystical but then I'm able to come back to reality unlike most of you.

Ok what about that is unrealistic?
Nature goes through so many changes. That's why were not primitive anymore because we evolved with things around us. If things don't change with nature then its doomed to be killed off.

I grow the shit out of peyote and I don't buy into the mystical stuff at all. But people should be free to call a plant sacred if it means a lot to them.
Nearly all cacti species have trace amounts of mescaline or other alkaloids in them so it seems silly to me personally to call any plant a "spirit plant" or similar. The alkaloids are just a product of evolution and aren't there for the sole purpose of human consumption like some want to believe. But I still support people believing whatever the hell they want to believe in, it's their business and not mine. It's just a beautiful cactus to cultivate and with me being near its native habitat, it was an easy choice to start growing for the sake of growing.

I was saying that. Just different words. Be prepared to be flamed and trolled by closed minded punks.
Ya people can believe what they want. But don't (not you) try and tell me "how a drug is supposed to be used" because that's all it is to me, A DRUG.
Also I grow may cactus as well fun little things to watch grow. though they are slow. But amazing part of nature (all cactusl

Oh, hey, look, it is possible to disagree with the sacred nature of psychedelic cacti without denying and devaluing people's personal experiences.

Hey I found multiple sites just now that say the opposite. Guess you'll have to stop being a condescending asshole and actually explain why you're right.
Maybe its not on the endangered list in america because our government wants it to die?

your inability to discuss this with me is off putting.
Why wouldn't they want a plant illegal in their country to not exist in their country? You're the one losing credibility with your nonsensical responses.

You do understand that "endangered" and "threatened" are official classifications right? And not just something someone said at some point.
