The primary psychedelic alkaloid discovered in lophophoras is mescaline, and also the standard "effective" dosage for individuals is 200 to 400 milligrams. To demonstrate how ridiculous it is to restrict enthusiast cultivation of this varieties, a large, mature 3-inch "switch" yields just 25 milligrams of mescaline. For an effective dose, one would have to grow, at minimum, 8 large plants, which could take anywhere from 10 to 20 years to grow. That does not take into account the minimized return of the alkaloid as a result of growing conditions and substratum, as well as if the cultivar was really L. williamsii or among the related types that have little to no mescaline web content. Lophophoras can consist of numerous other ethnobotanically considerable alkaloids that consist of pellotine and also anhaladine. It interests note that the species of lophophora williamsii that generate little to no mescaline rather carry high quantities of these latter sedative alkaloids, which are ruled out dangerous drugs.
