INTERNATIONAL LAW Check regulations in your country regarding Legality                                                                                      Canada According to the 2001 Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (replacing the Narcotics Control Act) mescaline is listed as a schedule III drug, while peyote is specifically exempted from Canada's Controlled Substances list. If peyote is prepared for use, however, it can be treated as "mescaline".               17. Mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxybenzeneethanamine) and any salt thereof, but not peyote (lophophora) Canadian Controlled Drugs and Substances Act  U.K. In 2004, peyote is currently sold fresh (not dried) across Britain. When dried are Class A drugs. U.S.A CONTROLLED Yes SCHEDULE Schedule I CLASSIFICATION Hallucinogen Peyote (lophophora williamsii) is Schedule I in the United States. Illegal to buy, sell, or possess without a DEA license. The CSA states: (22) Peyote Meaning all parts of the plant presently classified botanically as Lophophora williamsii Lemaire, whether growing or not, the seeds thereof, any extract from any part of such plant, and every compound, manufacture, salts, derivative, mixture, or preparation of such plant, its seeds or extracts (Interprets 21 USC 812(c), Schedule I(c) (12)) Federal Native American Church Exemption TITLE 21-Food And Drugs Administration, Department of Justice Sec. 1307.31 Native American Church.
