Summary

AI-generated from the abstract

Mescaline, a hallucinogen derived from cacti, demonstrates significant effects on human physiology. In a sample of 30 participants, plasma clearance rates showed that mescaline is absorbed rapidly, with 95% excretion occurring within 24 hours through urine. The pharmacological effects include alterations in perception and mood, while toxicity studies indicate low adverse reactions at therapeutic doses. These findings underscore the importance of understanding mescaline's pharmacokinetics for potential applications in medicine and internal medicine practices, particularly in managing psychological conditions.
