Lophophora williamsii is a small, columnar cactus native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Its alkaloid components, especially mescaline, have been used for sedative, analgesic, and anti‑inflammatory effects, and laboratory work indicates activity against certain bacteria and fungi. Because it contains psychoactive mescaline, it can cause hallucinations, increased heart rate and blood pressure, and it is regulated in many jurisdictions—use only under qualified guidance.
