This was in 2005 and you read it wrong

POSSIBLE PEYOTE (PLANT MATERIAL CONTAINING MESCALINE)
IN WADSWORTH, ILLINOIS

The Northern Illinois Police Crime Laboratory in Highland Park, Illinois recently received a plastic bag containing an atypical, dried, plant material (see Photo 3). The material (total net mass 25.05 grams) was seized in Wadsworth, Illinois, by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office (circumstances of seizure not reported; Wadsworth is located nearly equidistant between Chicago, Illinois and Milwaukee, Wisconsin). The material produced a purple color when directly tested with the Marquis reagent, but a dried methanol extract produced an orange color. Analysis by GC/MS indicated mescaline, suggesting that the material was peyote or some other mescaline-containing cactus (could not be further identified). This was the first submission of this type to the Laboratory.

Different country, different law. Only what UN classifies as drug is illegal everywhere. Then every nation adds some more stuff to their drug list on top of the UN list. I believe cacti are not listed in UN, so possibly not illegal in most countries.

UK, where you are from, they have listed almost every possible drug. Bet mescaline is forbidden.. and maybe anything that contains mescaline is forbidden in UK, including cacti.

I've had 30+ San Pedro cacti growing in front and in back of my place for years now.

I've had the FBI over to chat about sexual contact with a 16 year old girl (she told me she was 21 ... :P ) and I didn't even give it a thought nor did anything ever come of the cacti. It's an issue that kinda doesn't effect the Americas I guess. I'm sure if I actually processed them for Mescaline (which would be illegal) then I'd be worried.

... or if they were Peyote which stick out like Cannabis plants.

Cacti themselves are not illegal in UK even if they contain mescaline

If you hunt through these Micrograms, you can find an entry for San Pedro chips which the DEA thought were psilocybe mushrooms until they analyzed the material. Dumbasses!
