in the Current Peyote Trade of the Texas Borderlands.

The Problem of Diminishing Returns

   In Texas, peyote occurs only on the periphery, along the Mexican border.

   Commercially harvestable quantities occur only in four counties: Starr, Zapata, Webb and Jim Hogg.

   This small area of habitat in the South Texas borderlands supplies the peyote needs of the NAC across the entire continental United States and Canada.
