Where to find Peyote Plants in GTA Online – All locations

Rockstar Games has shaken things up again and brought Peyote Plants back to GTA Online. Now, players can head back to their spawn locations, have a bite to eat, and turn into an animal. 

While most things in GTA Online have an element of realism, like heisting the casino, racing, or transporting business goods, sometimes Rockstar Games dives into their bag filled with weird and wonderful tricks that will have players laughing for hours on end.

Peyote Plants are now back in GTA Online as April 3, for the first time in almost a year, last introduced in May 2024.

What are Peyote Plants in GTA 5?

These plants are scattered around Los Santos and the GTA 5 map’s wider regions. They can be eaten by any player one standing close to them, and will have a drastic effect on their character – swapping their human body for an animal’s one.

There’s nothing too complicated about the process – you don’t have to do some special job for Lester or have a certain set rank on your Rockstar account. Instead, all you have to do is find a Peyote Plant and you will be transformed into a random animal that you’d find in GTA V.

These Peyote Plants, however, aren’t stuck in one area of the map – they are spread out all over the place; you can find them while just out for a drive. 

Thanks to GTAWeb, you can use the below map to find every single Peyote Plant location in GTA Online. All you have to do is go towards one of the markers and your controller will start vibrating the closer you get to a plant.

You will know when you’ve found one because the vibrations will be pretty strong and you will see a small green circle with some white and yellow flowers on top of the floor. 

Once you devour the plants, you will become an animal until said animal is killed. Then, you will return to your normal form.

Cooldowns

In the Bottom Dollar Bounties update, Rockstar changed how peyote plant cooldowns work. Instead of a universal 48 minute cooldown, the 48-minute cooldown is now specific to each plant.

And, to stop players gaming the system by restarting their game to reset the cooldown, the cooldowns are now server-side, rather than client-side.
