Mescaline Cacti
What Are Mescaline Cacti
Mescaline cacti are several species of cactus — including San Pedro, Bolivian Torch, Peruvian Torch, and peyote — that naturally produce mescaline, a phenethylamine psychedelic that activates the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor (Nichols, 2016). Consumed for at least 5,700 years in indigenous ceremony, these cacti produce long-lasting altered states of consciousness typically spanning 8–14 hours when eaten or brewed into tea.
