The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) in 1993 allowed the use of peyote in religious ceremony, but in 1997, the Supreme Court ruled that the RFRA is unconstitutional when applied against states. Many states, including the state of Utah, have legalized peyote usage with "sincere religious intent", or within a religious organization, regardless of race. While mescaline-containing cacti

It is theorized to be a prodrug for psilocin, as is psilocybin, which occurs naturally in most species of hallucinogenic mushrooms. This is because the aromatic acetyl moiety on the 4th position is subject to deacetylation by acidic conditions such as those found in the stomach. Psilocetin is "O"-acetylated psilocin, whereas psilocybin is "O"-phosphorylated. "O"-Acetylpsilocin can be obtained by acetylation of psilocin under alkaline or strongly acidic conditions. It is, therefore, a semi-synthetic compound. It is believed to be a prodrug of psilocin, however, speculation
