naum said: Wasn't there a paper recently on this? I'm pretty sure there is a really nice phylogenetic tree floating around based on rather recent DNA research.
Yes, there's this paper:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22859654
The link has a free download link.
I read it last night. It focuses mostly on Echinopsis sensu lato though, the tree only has 3 species that I recognize as having mescaline.
It would be cool to do a study that focuses on the active clade. I believe Trichocereus is a better name than Echinopsis for the san pedro-like cacti. The reason is that Echinopsis is a polyphyletic collection of many different cacti, and I think the concept is too broad. Rather than lump 15 genera into Echinopsis, I think they should be split back out, with some species moved between genera.

More food for thought here, on the removal of Trichocereus from Echinopsis, and other related species. T. schickendantzii is proposed to move into Soehrensia
Leucostele terscheckii anyone?

While this is true 99% of the time, you'd be surprised where a little friendly conversation with a nursery owner can take you. Seen it happen for myself. 
Ah yeah,I've seen posts on here before where people acquired them by having a private little talk with the nurseryman;)
Last year I found one at a local nursery that was 3.5 to 4 in in diam with a quarter sized pup for $20. I passed it on to a friend who has better growing conditions than I do for Lophs. I guess some local collector was moving or something and gave/sold several large specimens (multiple species, just the one loph) to the nursery. Of course I knew what it was right away, but the folks at the nursery were quite excited to explain what it was, which surprised me.
