Peyote: The History of Mescaline (video)

PEYOTE: The History and Truth of Mescaline

[There is an entheogen in a cactus plant which Carlos Castaneda, in The Teachings of Don Juan, learned was named "Mescalito."] Peyote has a crazy history full of racism, prejudice, freedom, and wonder. Mescaline -- the active psychedelic alkaloid in some plants of the Southwest -- is, for lack of a better term, the "main ingredient" in Peyote. It has since become its own entity [Mescalito]. Smoke nothing, drink water, and let's get into the history and truth about Peyote and Mescaline.
