  • Description Mescaline is one of the main active ingredients in the peyote plant, Lophophora williamsii. It is also found in several other cacti including the South American Trichocereus otherwise known as the Peruvian torch species. Mescaline can also be synthesized in the laboratory. It is one of the oldest known hallucinogenic drugs. Ingestion of mescaline via use of the peyote cactus has been used in rituals by North American Indians dating back thousands of years. Ingestion of peyote was also common among the Aztec, Apache, and Pima Indians for religious, ceremonial, and medicinal purposes. Mescaline was isolated from peyote in 1896 by the chemist Hefter and in 1919, the chemical structure was confirmed by Spath. There are many analogs of mescaline with over 250 being prepared and self-tested by the chemist and pharmacologist, Alexander Shulgin (aka Sasha Shulgin). Mescaline became a Schedule I drug and was placed in Controlled Substances Act in 1970. Many of the related chemicals or analogs of mescaline were also placed in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act.
  • Uses Psychedelic Alkoloid Mescaline is used recreationally as a hallucinogenic drug and it is used in religious ceremonies for spiritual purposes by groups such as the Native American church. Mescaline is purported not to have any therapeutic benefits based on its Schedule I status. When used recreationally typical doses range from 300 to 500 mg orally.
