Various studies were conducted on peyote/mescaline during the 20th Century. No useful medical application of the drug was found. Peyote/mescaline was banned in the U.S. in 1967 and placed on Schedule I in 1970. You can purchase Peyote seeds as well as other cacti containing mescaline online. It should be noted that what is sold as "mescaline" on the street is typically another psychedelic such as LSD.

Peyote contains mescaline (among many other alkaloids) which is responsible for the psychedelic effects.
Extracting mescaline from peyote involves several steps, including harvesting the peyote cactus, drying the buttons, and then using a solvent extraction method. Typically, the dried cactus is ground into a powder, and then a solvent like ethanol or water is used to dissolve the mescaline. The mixture is then filtered to separate the solids, and the liquid is evaporated to yield mescaline crystals. However, it's important to note that the extraction and use of mescaline is illegal in many places and can have legal and health risks.

In a cactus. not in a cat. There is a small amount of mescaline in peyote and a few other cactuses. In the 60s and 70s, scientists performed abusive experiments on cats, injecting mescaline or other hallucinogens into them, then trying to measure how the drugs break down in the brain and body. There is an old article called "DISTRIBUTION AND METABOLISM OF MESCALINE-C IN THE CAT BRAIN." this does not mean cats naturally have mescaline in their brains.
