Mescaline (peyote) is one such drug that has a cultural history dating from before the time of Christ as well as a separate history as a street drug. It is derived mainly from two members of the Cactaceae family—the peyote cactus (Lophophora williamsii) and the San Pedro cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi).

Probably the more important chemical in most belladonna alkaloids is scopolamine. It appears not only in the already-mentioned sources but also in several tree barks used by natives that are known as Datura. Appreciated early on in both hemispheres, it has been used in the Near East to compound the effects of cannabinols and in the Andes to add to mescaline-like effects from the cactus Trichocereus pachanoi. In asthmador, scopolamine constitutes 50.4 percent of the mixture. Tim Leary has been quoted as saying he never heard of a good belladonna trip my own experience has been an exception.

Neoraimondia macrostibas (i, Chemistry of Peyotl ) This cactus may bean additive to an entheogenic beverage called cimora, also said to contain cactus Trichocereus pachanoi (Dobkin de Rios 1977 Schultes Hofmann 1980). It has been claimed that the beverage contains no cacti, but rather is based on entheogenic Brugmansia species (Davis 19833). Neoraimondia arequipensisY. roseiflora, once a variety ofAf macrostibas (Ostolaza etaL 1985), was devoid of mescaline (Ma etal 1986).

The simple alkaloid mescaline is the main active component of L. ml-liamsii of (10) and o Trichocereus pachanoi of (12), and the yield of mescaline is said to be 2% of the dried material. Mescaline is a phenethylamine (=phenylethylamine) type alkaloid, like ephedrine.

The three species of this semi-tribe contain mainly jS-phenetyhlamine derivatives and only traces of tetrahydroisoquinoUne. Most well known is the San Pedro cactus Trichocereus pachanoi, for its content of the hallucinogenic phenethylamine mesca-Une (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine) (Lundstrbm 1971).
