Lophophora williamsii or peyote is a small, spineless cactus with psychoactive alkaloids (primarily mescaline). It was an important part of native cultures of the American Southwest and has been used by some post-nuclear groups as a source of cheap drugs. The Mordinos of New Reno in particular farmed peyote and sold it to tourists, dubbing it the Reno Experience. The arrival of Myron in their employ resulted in peyote being replaced by the much more addictive Jet.[1]
