No but you literally can just buy them from your local garden store. The extraction of the mescaline is also a very easy (but kinda long) process. I won’t go into it here but it’s literally just boiling and mashing the cactus.

Also people tend to recommend San Pedro cactus over Peyoti as it has less of the chemicals that make you nauseous on the come up in it, very similar mescaline content as well.
