Thanks I'll check that out. I do wonder if there is something specific to the species I used, but I would think the same biological pathway is used to produce mescaline in both species, so other alkaloids would hopefully be the same. One thing I know about the cactus I used: those spines are brutal. I took a couple spines to my hand and thought some of them lodged in my joints. I felt like I had arthritis for months. Apparently that has been reported by others as well, so the species has some unique defense mechanisms.
