Mescaline, also known as mescalin or mezcalin,[8] as well as 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine, is a naturally occurring psychedelic protoalkaloid of the substituted phenethylamine class, known for its hallucinogenic effects comparable to those of LSD and psilocybin.[4][1][6][5] It binds to and activates certain serotonin receptors in the brain, producing hallucinogenic effects.[1][6]
