Several species of the plant were used by Indians in the Southwest and Mexico. The plants vary greatly in size, but are characterized by a cluster of leaves spreading out at ground level from a short central stem. The narrow leaves are long and thick and terminate in a spine. At maturity, each plant sends up one long flowering stalk and then dies. Agaves grow at elevations of 3000 to 8000 feet. (Agave sp.)-sometimes called a century plant.

It is a tradition to add worms to Mezcal, however, which is an alcohol that is made from a similar plant.

I sure don't see any cheap tequila, unless it's cheep tequila. I'm buying the stuff with 4-5 worms in it, just to pump my high. My El Camino hogs so much $3.25 gas (yes! I use premium! it's an el camino!), I had to switch from Franziskaner Weiss to that Widemer shit, too. I'm slowly going broke on gas but pinnin' my hopes on that cheap Bordeaux, just around the corner. Yeah, then life will be good again. “This will benefit the agave farmers more than anyone,” he said. “Prices have collapsed in recent years.”
