What is Peyote And Mescaline

Drugs other than LSD cause hallucinations. Mescaline comes from the peyote cactus plant. In street slang it is known as J/peyote,” J/cactus,” “buttons” and J/big chief.” The primary active ingredient of the peyote cactus comes from the fleshy parts, or the button, of the plant. Peyote has been used by Native American Indians in northern Mexico from the earliest recorded time as a part of traditional religious rites. Peyote, or mescal buttons should not be confused with mescal, the colorless Mexican liquor distilled from the leaves of maguey plants. Mescaline is usually ground into a powder. It can also be produced synthetically
