Mescaline Cacti

Mescaline cacti play a very important role in Latin American shamanic culture. Mescaline is a psychoactive alkaloid that induces intense visual effects and a strongly altered state of consciousness. Peyote (Lophophora williamsii) from Mexico is a well-known mescaline cactus. There are other, lesser-known yet equally celebrated species of mescaline cacti, such as San Pedro (Echinopsis pachanoi) and Peruvian torch (Echinopsis peruviana).
