Answer 4

considering the show, it has to be peyote.  the description fits:

Lophophora williamsii, (pronounced /loʊˈfɒfərə wɪlˈjæmsiaɪ/, lō-fof′ŏ-ră will-yăm′sē-Ä«), better known by its common name Peyote, but also sometimes called Mescal Button or the Divine Cactus, is a small, spineless cactus. Peyote contains a large spectrum of phenethylamine alkaloids, the principal of which is mescaline. The buttons are generally chewed, or boiled in water to produce a psychoactive tea. The resulting infusion is extremely bitter to some people and, in most cases, the partaker experiences a high degree of nausea before the onset of the psychoactive effects.  It is currently used world wide mainly as a recreational drug.
