A powerful hallucinogenic drug found naturally in certain cactus plants, especially peyote, that causes intense visual and emotional experiences.
Named after the Mescalero Apache people; comes from Spanish 'mescal' referring to the peyote cactus. The chemical compound was first isolated and identified in 1897.
Mescaline was one of the first naturally-occurring psychoactive drugs studied by Western scientists, and it led to the discovery of how brain chemistry creates perception itself.
