So we need to do a stop right here and Liz you need to talk about peyote. Oh my god

I'm like the last person to talk about this, but I think it is important for us because we also have to talk about ayahuasca

So what is peyote? What is ayahuasca? Let's talk about it. Peyote is a cactus

That contains an alkaloid called mescaline

All right the keyla

It's different in structure from other psychedelics like LSD DMT Silas. I've been

It's more similar funny enough to emphatomines and MDMA

Though it's obviously famous for like a totally different high. It's like very trippy like you know

Huluson agenda you touched God whatever so it doesn't it doesn't feel like ecstasy or speed

But it's actually more similar in structure than that

It lasts a super super long time. It goes on for like 12 hours

Some people remember like the entirety of a soprano's episode

But there is actually weirdly enough a long

Intertwined history between peyote and the Mormon church, which is weird

The grandson of Joseph Smith Frederick M. Smith or Fred M as his followers call him was a super big fan of peyote

He said that he was using the drug to find the higher powers of man. This is kind of classic. Yeah, not classic

but classic

Descriptor of peyote in fact sounds exactly like James Mooney

But this dude Fred M. He participated in a ton of Native American peyote ceremonies and wanted to introduce it into the practice

Basically as a sacrament in his the reorganized church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Because this is after the Mormon wars, right?

Which is very weird
