Thanks for letting me know, I'll toss them right away. I'd never heard of such a thing. A cactus as illegal? That's interesting to hear about.mikethecactusguy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 11:14 pm If you live in the United States unless you are a Native American Indian using Peyote for a Religious Ceremony they are illegal to cultivate and own.

Peyotes have psychoactive properties. (something like that). Hopefully you don't have to throw them...nes wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 12:23 amThanks for letting me know, I'll toss them right away.

Judging by the number of posts and pics of these plants on different fora , there must be surprisingly many Native American Indians who are interested in growing these plants.. Which leds me to wonder how strict this law is enforced in the US?mikethecactusguy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 11:14 pm If you live in the United States unless you are a Native American Indian using Peyote for a Religious Ceremony they are illegal to cultivate and own.

What I've heard is not too strictly, unless you're growing them for sale, or possessing dried peyote. I haven't heard of anyone being busted for growing it for horticultural reasons. Owning land where peyote is growing naturally doesn't count as "possessing" it
Here's update on my turbinicarpus I didn't toss. Thanks for letting me know what they actually were. I can't seem to figure out what everyone else is talking about. Anyways, check it out, one of them shot out a flower bud. I'm glad I didn't toss them Finally acquired two gymno. vatteri paucispinum seedlings, hopefully the flower at the same time next summer.
