In deep South Texas near the US–Mexico border, four Mexican American individuals are the only government licensed peyote dealers in the United States. Considered a controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement Agency, peyote is used as sacred sacrament by members of the Native American Church, who can buy and transport the plant legally only when they buy it from a licensed dealer in South Texas. Tens of thousands of plants are harvested every year on privately owned land, but supply is threatened by land development, over harvesting, poaching, politics, climate change, and the vanishing tradition of the peyote dealers.
