In 2004, in Spain, the SCO 190/2004 order of 28 January established a list of plants whose sale to the public was prohibited or restricted due to their toxicity. The order included a total of 197 species and, for safety reasons, their use was restricted to the manufacture of medicines, homeopathic strains and research. Therefore, the free sale of these plants to the public was prohibited (except for industrial ornamental or cosmetic purposes).

And that list included the cactus Lophophora williansii , which caused a lot of confusion .

This cactus has always been cultivated in Spain as an ornamental plant by collectors and was never intended to be a medicinal plant. Therefore, in 2004 this collector's cactus for ornamental use was not affected. Although there were certain misinterpretations by the public and the media at the time

However, this order was also revoked by a ruling by the National Court (Administrative Litigation Chamber, Fourth Section) on 27 June 2005 and therefore does not apply to the medicinal plant market. Although Law 29/2006 subsequently corrected this circumstance in its article 51.2. However, this new list has NOT been developed to date.
