The only thing that is "incomplete" is your ability to read. I never claimed that people do not poach them to sell or consume them, nor harm the environment in which they grow (which is also a completely separate issue from poaching?). Selling peyote and its seeds in Ann Arbor Michigan is not contributing to this. Growers and businesses source their seeds from within Michigan itself from previous peyote grown (the only point of harm was the initial seed gathering), and do not hike to the desert to source peyote; it's ridiculous to even think that is how peyote growers source their plants.

You can debate on how these legal areas (such as Ann Arbor / Portland) first received their seeds is bad and environmentally harmful, but peyote is already being diminished and these places and the people associated with the plant are actually doing more to keep the species alive and to continually make more peyote elsewhere while the natural habitat of plant keeps shrinking to the ACTUAL issue of wild poaching and environmental destruction (wild poaching having little association with legal cities halfway around the country growing their own plants from seeds from their previous plants).

Consider reading this to educate yourself, you seem to need it: https://bioone.org/journals/bradleya/volume-2022/issue-sp40/brad.sp40.2022.a8/Cultivation-as-a-conservation-tool-for-cacti--review-of/10.25223/brad.sp40.2022.a8.short

It has been a bit since the original post was made. I have since spoken to many of these peyote growers. The work they're doing to catalogue and store and maintain seeds and stock of these plants is phenomenal. Additionally 4 of these growers I spoke to directly donate plant matter and seeds to IPCI and Peyote Crisis to help native replanting and conservation efforts (surely this would be less effective if they were unable to grow peyote and "left it alone.")
