Mescaline: the chemistry and pharmacology of its analogs.
He helped in the development of pyrazinamide as a treatment for tuberculosis and also did some of the earliest research into mescaline.
The project was centered around, but not restricted to, the use of anabasine (an alkaloid), scopolamine and mescaline.
Like psilocin and psilocybin, mescaline is reputed to produce visions and other evidences of a mystical nature.
Despite its structural similarity to mescaline, isomescaline produces no effects.
The usual human dosage is 200400 milligrams of mescaline sulfate or 178356 milligrams of mescaline hydrochloride.
Mescaline and many of indole alkaloids (such as psilocybin, dimethyltryptamine and ibogaine) have hallucinogenic effect.
Recurring visual patterns observed during the mescaline experience include stripes, checkerboards, angular spikes, multicolor dots, and very simple fractals that turn very complex.
