Don't know honestly, just knew that peyote takes a long time to mature and that it's vulnerable due to overconsumption. My cousin told me this, about 2 weeks after arriving back to Mexico.

Also read that apparently this perennial 'communing with God' thing may be more of a Western artifact than an actual 'universal truth/core', since tribes that have been taking their substances report more of a talking with the local spirits/ dealing with brujería & mal de ojo.

I'm not saying 'don't take drugs': it's your life, do whatever you want. It's just food for thought.
