So, we were chatting with my daughter this weekend, and we told her how well our lettuce was growing. She wanted to know what kind we had planted, and I said that one of the varieties was mesculun. Huh? She said, that sounds like peyote. I knew it wasn't hallucinogenic, so I finally looked it up. We planted a mesclun mix, and mescaline is peyote.
