I posted another comment before reading yours and I see the video creator never responded. I understand, not fun being associated with drug usage if there even is any. That being said how does peyote compare to like shrooms or hell even LSD? Been wanting to try peyote which contains mescaline for a while now. As I understand it, it’s quite foul and might even induce one to vomit should enough be consumed.

I have better luck talking directly to the maintenance crews themselves. I know they're given a job to do but they DO have some leeway. The herbicide salesmen surely bring lunch & other goodies to influence sales. Makes me sick to see nothing but ragweed & fireweed after they spray out an area.

As Dineh' from Dineh' Tah Doh (Navajoland), I extend my greatest gratitude to this family for caring, and nurturing this holy sacramental medicine used in our ceremonies. We have cherished this medicine for decades, handed down from our elders how to properly use this medicine, and not to abuse it. Even when we journey to the holy gardens down to south Texas, and Mexico, we always hold a nighttime ceremony before we even venture into the garden to begin collecting the medicine. We have been taught to bless ourselves, and offer our prayers with smoking natural mountain tobacco to give thanks, blessings, good health, and pray for those who care for the medicinal gardens. I am in my elder years of 70, and have journeyed to these gardens treating it with respect during my visits. I have taught my children these same lessons, treat this medicine with respect, and to never abuse or use this medicine with ill intentions. TY for sharing your content. Aho'!!

There's still nothing better than habitat conservation, because if you have little gardens that exist for the purposes of preservation, they're still artificially-created habitats. More and more, wildlife and plants become dependent on humans, and the amount of things for humans to manage increase and keeps getting more complicated. And when humans are gone, the plants and animals that people were 'saving' will go away too. In the end, the core issue has always been habitat loss.

Loved the local knowledge Gabi gave us in this episode and also how a self-professed loudmouth host was able to let her explain things on her own terms. Really great what is happening on that tiny bit of land. Thanks for sharing!

I'm always so impressed by the survival of plants in such dry environments. How they can survive with so little rain while most of the plants I grow start to suffer in soil and heat like you showed. I've saved a lot of tortoises in my day. I tried to save one once, crossing a super highway but by the time I stopped it was already halfway across. It seemed to know speed was the only solution. I thought he would make it. But as I watched a car failed to avoid it and smashed it into pulp. But I have saved at least a half dozen other tortoises and snakes since then. The rule is always take them across in the direction they're facing. I wish our society would put in animal crossing places along the road to reduce the carnage.

I really like this local reporting type style, you should do it more often when it’s possible :)

I can't help but fall in love with Gabby, "those are rare tambien." She is Puro South Texas Gold. I am so proud of her.

Great to hear you telling it as it is - your passion for these plants and ecosystems is infectious. Thumbs up to the folks who are doing their best to rescue as many plants as possible but it's devastating to see the wanton destruction of such precious habitats. there need to be far greater incentives to preserve them than there are to destroy them. Seeing Lophophora in habitat is interesting though - I'm in the south of Spain and have had success with propagating the seed of my original plants - they're constantly throwing up those little pink fruits. I guess the climate is pretty similar here too.
