Peyote Cactus (5-7 cm) – The Sacred Cactus of Indigenous Traditions

Peyote cactus scientific name: (Lophophora williamsii)

Common street names include: • Buttons, Cactus, Mesc, and Peyoto

Peyote is a species of cactus found in the Southern United States and Mexico. It’s a very unassuming cactus — it’s small, has no spines, and doesn’t grow much larger than a pin cushion. A single peyote cactus is often referred to as a “button”.

Despite its humble appearance, the peyote cactus contains the highest concentration of mescaline of any other cactus at around 3–6% of the dried weight.

Peyote grows exceptionally slow — taking up to 15 years to reach maturity. The average user requires several buttons of peyote cactus for a single dose. An experienced peyote user may take as many as 15 or 20 buttons at a time.
