Lophophora williamsii
Lophophora williamsii
Has anyone ever seen a Lophophora williamsii flower like this? I bought this specimen as a 'grown from original Mexican seed from the wild' -without exact field data.
A common L. williamsii flower looks like this (at least here, in the European collections):

I don't think this is true. Specialized nurseries are liscesed breed L. williamsii to sell to Native Ameircan churches specifically for this reason. There's also a huge internet market for the plant, and I don't think its exclusively for collectorsAndras wrote: they're inadequate for use as a drug

Its amazing how much misinformation you can get from a website which stands to make money from you
The controlled substances act allows an exemption for "nondrug use of peyote in bona fide religious ceremonies of the Native American Church". Each state is responsible for defining such exemptions and only about a dozen have them. For example, in Texas you have to be an actual member of the Native American Church and you have to be of native American descent.
The exmeptions apply to use but not to cultivation. Cultivation of Lophophora williamsii for such "non-drug" religious uses requires a permit from the DEA.
