OMG OMG someone who knows something!!!

mescaline is the drug found in the cactus itself.. peyote is a mexican cactus, ive done the peruvian one san pedro....

please read my thread on the religious forum... im really interested in this stuff! no one commented on it when i posted it, so i just figured no one was interested in its place in religion......

i'll try to get a link...
