Peyote
Spineless cactus (Lophophora williamsii) indigenous to the southwest U.S. and Mexico. Peyote produces a drug, also called peyote, whose active substance is mescaline, a nonaddictive hallucinogenic drug that produces visions and changes in perception, time sense, and mood. Peyote-eating rituals are important in the Native American Church.Source:
