	I was thinking of pulca, and it has the mescaline from the cactus
that they use for the drink.  I believe, and I'm not sure of this, that
tequila was a descendant of this.  As I understand it, there are a couple
of brands of tequila that have slight halucanegenic properties, and that
some people, such as myself, cannot stand tequila because of adverse
reactions after drinking copious amounts of the stuff. 

	But, back to my original question, does anyone have a recipie, or
a suggested area to look for one, for a mesoamerican mead?

	One more question, and that's it, I promise.  Are there any
members of the Meridian Brewers Guild out there.  A year ago I was a
member, and from their charter I helped form a kingdom brewing guild in
the Outlands.  I would really like to talk to someone, if nothing else to
thank them.

PS Okay, I lied, sorry.  Is there anyone on here from the Barony of
Arenal, K. of Meridies?
