FALSE PEYOTE CACTI
WHAT ARE FALSE PEYOTE CACTI ?
False Peyote Cacti are Cacti that are not Peyote (Lophophora williamsii).
So species other than the Peyote Cactus (Lophophora williamsii).
They usually belong to Cactus genera other than the genus Lophophora.
However, the Cactus genus Lophophora also contains False Peyote Cacti.
Virtually no Mescaline in False Peyote Cacti
False Peyote Cacti contain little to no Mescaline, but do contain other alkaloids.
The low Mescalne content therefore makes them practically unusable for preparing a ‘medicine’ for a Peyote trip.
False Peyote = False Peyote in English.

ORIGIN OF THE NAME ‘FALSE PEYOTE’
The original inhabitants of North America (‘Native Americans’, Indians) called Cacti without mind-altering effects ‘False Peyote’.
They thus distinguished between the Peyote Cactus and other Cacti containing little or no Mescaline.
On their annual hunt for Peyote Cacti, the Huichol Indians did not want to collect the wrong Cacti.
The name ‘False Peyote’ allowed them to inform each other during their annual ‘Peyote hunt’ not to collect the wrong Cacti !
Apparently, it was important for the Indians to harvest the mind-altering Peyote Cacti, and not other Cacti.
Meaning of the folk names of False Peyote Cacti
False Peyote (English) = False Peyote.
Hikuli = False Peyote in the Indian language.
Hikuli Mulato = Epithelantha micromeris (small globular Cactus with short white spines).
Peyotillo = small Peyote in the Spanish language (= Pelecyphora aselliformis).

MESCALINE CONTENT OF FALSE PEYOTE CACTI
These False Peyote Cacti usually differ markedly in shape from the real Peyote.
Only other Lophophora species resemble the Peyote in shape.
These other Lophophora species have a light green to greenish-yellow colour.
While the Peyote has a dark-green to blue-green to grey-blue colour.
1. False Peyote Cacti contain little or no Mescaline
These False Peyote Cacti therefore have no usable amount of Mescaline.
, False Peyote Cacti contain very little or no Mescaline.
A False Peyote Cactus is practically useless for a Peyote trip because it contains very little Mescaline.
So in practice, they have no mind-altering effect.
Because you sometimes have to prepare and eat hundreds of kilos of them to experience psychoactive effects.
2. Mescaline content of False Peyote Cacti
False Peyote Cacti contain almost no Mescaline or none at all.
Lophophora diffusa contains 1% Mescaline of the amount of Mescaline of Lophophora williamsii (Peyote).

FALSE PEYOTE CACTI ARE MISTAKEN FOR OTHER CACTI
1. False Peyote Cacti are confused with the Peyote (Lophophora williamsii).
False Peyote Cacti are often mistaken for the real Peyote (Lophophora williamsii) !
So make sure you buy the real Peyote (Lophophora williamsii, with a blue-green colour) !
2. Lophophora diffusa is often confused with Lophophora williamsii
The False Peyote Cactus Lophophora diffusa is often confused with Lophophora williamsii (the real Peyote Cactus).
Also by reputable sellers of Smartshops (online, and on the street) of Peyote Cacti !
Important: Lophophora diffusa contains virtually no Mescaline !
3. Differences between Lophophora diffusa and Lophophora williamsii
Lophophora diffusa is a Lophophora species with a yellow-green colour.
Lophophora williamsii is green to blue-grey in colour.
Lophophora diffusa has a rounded shape with no protruding elevations (ribs or tubercles).
Lophophora williamsii has elevations such as protruding ribs or raised tubercles.

WHAT ARE CACTI ?
Cacti are plants characterised by the possession of areoles.
Areoles are thickenings on the stem from which hairs, thorns, buds, flowers and fruits grow.
Cacti have thorns or hairs and usually no leaves.
Thorns
Cacti's thorns evolved (gradually developed) from leaves.
The thorns protect a Cactus from the sun and from being eaten by animals.
Cacti are drought plants (xerophytes)
Cacti are drought plants (xerophytes) adapted to survive dry conditions.
Adaptations to drought periods include:
a thicker wax layer, fewer stomata, water cells, no leaves, resting periods, special metabolism.
Succulents
Cacti belong to the succulents (Succulents).
Succulents are plants that store water in their roots, stems and leaves.
Succulents are also built to survive drought periods (xerophytes).
Metabolism
In hot weather, Cacti keep their stomata closed during the day to prevent evaporation.
In the evening and at night, they have their stomata open to assimilate.
In doing so, they take in carbon dioxide (CO2), and expel oxygen (O2).
Habitat
Cacti grow in arid areas such as semi-deserts, but not in deserts.
Cacti grow in all but one species in North America and South America.
