Mescaline is the active ingredient in peyote, a small cactus, and it can also be made synthetically.
Research on mescaline is limited compared with research on LSD and psilocybin, though it appears to produce similar feelings and side effects. Low addiction potential does not mean that every pattern of use is harmless. If use is becoming difficult to manage or affecting your life, care can focus on the thoughts and behaviors connected with it rather than judging your choices.
