Peyote??

Having been in the nursery biz in Southern California for 20 some years, I
never saw peyote in the trade---and I looked! I knew people that had them
in their private collections. I always thought Matucana sp looked similar.
When I went to Amsterdam a few years ago, and was glad to see so many plant
venders selling them openly. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more
Lophophora plants in The Netherlands than in the Southwest.
Cheers,
Erick

Sue,
No one who really knows cactus would ever confuse Ariocarpus with
Lophophora.
And Lophophora was certainly sold as part of a dish garden in gift shops.
I
think Tim and Jadeboy are confusing the harmless commerce in gifts with
genuine
drug trafficking. The DEA certainly does not confuse the two. And I
certainly
would not confuse Ariocarpus with Lophophora!

I wonder if the original post might refer to Ariocarpus, rather than
Lophophora. I've seen ariocarpus plants in touristy dish gardens.
