Chemical Structure: Mescaline belongs to the phenethylamine class and has the chemical formula C11H17NO3 . It interacts primarily with the serotonin receptors in the brain, leading to altered perceptions, vivid visual hallucinations, and changes in consciousness.

Effects: Upon ingestion, mescaline induces a range of effects, including enhanced sensory perception, distorted time perception, and profound introspection. Users may experience vivid and colorful visual hallucinations, as well as alterations in mood and thought patterns.

Cultural and Spiritual Significance: Mescaline has a long history of use in various indigenous cultures for its role in spiritual and religious practices. For example, Native American tribes, particularly the Huichol and Navajo, have used peyote in ceremonial settings for centuries.

Legality and Risks: The legality of mescaline varies by jurisdiction. In some places, the use of mescaline-containing cacti is protected for religious purposes, while in others, it is strictly regulated. Like other hallucinogenic substances, mescaline carries potential risks, including psychological distress and hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD), although physical toxicity is relatively low compared to some other substances.
