What are some problems for peyote?

Peyote, a small cactus containing the psychoactive compound mescaline, faces several challenges. Overharvesting and habitat destruction have led to declining populations, threatening its survival in the wild. Additionally, legal restrictions around its use complicate access for Indigenous communities that traditionally use peyote in religious ceremonies. Climate change also poses a risk by altering the ecosystems where peyote grows, further endangering its existence.
