Is it legal to have a Peyote cactus?

Question

If so, where can you buy them?

Answer 1

you can buy seeds on-line, it is illegal, but no one would ever know, don't take them from the wild, they are endangered

Answer 2

It's legal for religious purposes within the limits of a religious institution in the U.S. in five states: Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada and Colorado. You can't legally buy a cactus. It's better to do it with someone who knows how to prepare it as a tea or something. In Arizona you can go to the Peyote Way Church of God to experience peyote as a spiritual practice. You can stay on the premises for a few days.

Answer 3

United States federal law (and many state laws) protect the harvest, possession and consumption (but not cultivation) of peyote as part of "bonafide religious ceremonies" (the federal regulation is 42 USC §1996a, "Traditional Indian religious use of the peyote sacrament," exempting only Native American use, while most state laws exempt any general "bonafide religious activity"). American jurisdictions enacted these specific statutory exemptions in reaction to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Employment Division v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872 (1990), which held that laws prohibiting the use of peyote that do not specifically exempt religious use nevertheless do not violate the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. Although many American jurisdictions specifically allow religious use of peyote, religious or therapeutic use not under the aegis of the Native American Church has often been targeted by local law enforcement agencies, and non-natives attempting to establish spiritual centers based on the consumption of peyote as a sacrament or as medicine, such as the Peyote Foundation in Arizona, have been prosecuted.
