    in the Current Peyote Trade of the Texas Borderlands.




    Possible Solutions

    Better harvesting techniques through education.


         (1) Most harvesting by DEA-registered peyote distributors and their usual employees is performed correctly and sustainably (cutting the button off at ground level to promote regrowth).

         (2) Some harvesters cut too deep on the underground part of the stem or into the root, rendering regrowth unlikely or impossible.

         (3) Others are digging up entire plants by the roots, eliminating any possibility of regrowth.

     

    Behavior modification is a long-term process.
