Malloy Oliver Markus, 2017

Overview

This book traces the multifaceted history of mescaline, a substance that gained prominence in the mid-twentieth century following Aldous Huxley's influential work. Its origins extend back to prehistoric Andean cultures, which depicted cacti containing mescaline in their temples. Isolated in 1897 from the peyote cactus, mescaline has been explored by psychologists studying consciousness, spiritual figures, artists investigating creativity, and psychiatrists seeking treatments for schizophrenia. The narrative also highlights peyote's significant role in preserving and shaping Native American identity.
