Matucana madisoniorum is what you have there.

Rumored to be active but there zero confirmation of this by people who have ingested it so far as I know.

From guest answerer, Kakster from Kak-tall-a-tree.



Paul Hutchinson of the University of California Botanical Gardens discovered Borzicactus madisoniorum about 1963 or so in an valley in Peru. It is now alternately called Submatucana madisoniorum or Matucana madisoniorum, named after the town of Matucana. Being a small globular plant with ribs resembling Lophophora, the ones that lack spines look so much like peyote that the uninformed may think they actually are.



I had a large old specimen outside that disappeared while some Mexican workers were working in the yard - I suspect they stole it for ingestion. In natural habitats they grow slowly and are very hard like jade, but in greenhouses or grafted they grow quickly with tissue that is less firm. I had a sample analyzed by GCMS once and it was completely negative for alkaloids....
...Narcotic and Hallucinogenic Cacti of the New World (pp.47-48 ) cites several cactologists as believing that this species is psychoactive.

Sadly it sounds confirmed to be inactive, though you never know.
