Dear Richard, At my Nursery the Inspector would walk over several hundred
acres. Anywhere I grew anything, It sometimes took her 2 days! Russ

However, many nurseries have it in their private collections and at least,
the USDA and Cal inspectors turn a blind eye. This is what I have been told
by nurserymen. Of course, once the DEA starts looking under your bed,
nothing is safe.

Lophophora williamsii is a schedule 1 drug plant. All parts of it growing
or
not are Illegal to possess without a DEA license. I can assure you cactus
bowl sellers do not have DEA licenses. I don't know the date of it
becoming
scheduled so perhaps it was available in the past. It is clearly on the
list
now.
I don't grow any cactus so don't know about this genus and its other spp ,
but California's own law forbids growing ANY species in this genus.

I do not agree with you. Lophophora williamsii is a well known plant.
It is similar to L. diffusa, but they can be distinguished. When I
lived in L.A., I was somewhat of an expert on cactus and grew many.
Among
my plants was L.
williamsii, and of course it flowered for me.
