Is this the plant which all the fuss is about?
http://cactusplaza.com/lophophora-williamsii-peyot…
It seems to be legal in Canada according to this page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peyote/
and again, listed for sale here in the UK. http://www.crazycacti.co.uk/
There is more to the plant world than the USA. An extended discussion, with
offensive sarcasm, on whether or not the plant  is available there, seems
to me to be unreasonably far off topic.
 There are many on this list who could cite resumes as impressive as Jade
boy does, I am tired of reading it!
