    Button, button, who's got the button?
    Commerce, Religion, Drug Regulation and Conservation
    in the Current Peyote Trade of the Texas Borderlands.

    Harvested peyote

    Freshly cut peyote buttons
    in a bin of one DEA-registered peyote distributor in South Texas.

    Notice the small size of the majority of the buttons being offered for sale to the Native American Church as religious sacrament. Many are only 1-2 cm in diameter.
