Hundreds Doomed Peyote Cactus Product Called Navajo Scourge
Press correspondent Howard De Wald reports peyote on the Navajo reservation in northern Arizona and New Mexico is linked to hundreds of deaths. Doctors and officials push to label peyote narcotic and ban it on the reservation while the Bureau of Indian Affairs studies its dangers. The dried button, from the mescal cactus, is chewed or brewed into tea and causes hallucinations, stimulant effects, and sexual violence reports say. Local figures warn of long term degeneration and link it to violent behavior and social disruption.
