Where to find Peyote Plants in GTA Online
Consume these cacti to transform your character.

GTA Online Peyote Plants are recurring items that add a twist to your time in Los Santos. These small cacti grow in numerous places around the map, and eating one turns you into an animal, allowing you to play as a random critter or sea creature as you go about your daily business.
Get it? Because you're trippin' on drugs.
Peyote Plants spawning in GTA Online often coincides with other events; they're not available 365 days a year. Before you go dashing off to start collecting them, just be aware that there is no reward for finding them all, and they will respawn 24 hours after you pick them—assuming they are still in the game at that point, as Rockstar only adds them to GTA Online for limited periods of time.
With that in mind, here are the GTA Online Peyote Plant locations so you're ready when they show up in San Andreas.

Peyote Plants are small green bulb-like cacti with a white flower on top. There are 76 total Peyote Plants in GTA Online scattered throughout Los Santos, Blaine County, and the surrounding ocean.
You don't need to unlock anything to find them, they are available to anyone with access to GTA Online. Just bear in mind that, as mentioned above, they come and go from the game every so often, so make sure they're currently in game before you go searching for them.
If you normally play with a keyboard and mouse, it might be worth switching to a controller temporarily if you're determined to hunt down Peyote Plants. The controller will vibrate when you get close to one, so it can help you pinpoint their exact location when you reach an area.

Once you've found a Peyote Plant, you'll get a prompt to eat it. When you do, you will start hallucinating and out, causing the screen to go black. When you come to, you'll have transformed into a random animal—though the type you change into will depend on where you find the plant.
Once you've spawned as an animal, check the controls in the top left corner of your screen because they'll be different depending on which creature you are. There's also a 48-minute cooldown for each Peyote Plant, so you'll have to wait a while before you can check out different animals. Happy hunting!

Bigfoot Peyote Plant location
While Peyote Plants are random, there's a special one that will transform you into a Sasquatch if you find it at the right time during the right weather conditions.
The Bigfoot Peyote Plant is located at the base of Mount Chiliad near Grapeseed—the small town on the northeastern shore of the Alamo Sea—on the northern side of the map. If eaten between the hours of 3 AM and 8 AM during foggy weather, the plant will turn you into Bigfoot. Otherwise, it'll be the same as any other Peyote Plant.
How to Fix Peyote Plants not spawning
Sometimes Peyote Plants won't show up even if you're in the right spot. Thankfully, there are a few things you can do to fix this.
Firstly, that Peyote Plants are only available during brief windows in GTA Online. Unless Rockstar specifically mentions the plants coming back for a new update, you won't be able to find them anywhere.
If Peyote Plants are live in GTA Online but you still can't find them, then all you have to do is restart your game or find a new online session. Someone else may have already eaten the Peyote Plant you're looking for, and sometimes they're just bugged and don't spawn, particularly the underwater ones.
