Several cacti in the genus Echinopsis have been demonstrated to contain the psychedelic alkaloid mescaline and have a long history of traditional use for psycho-therapeutic, spiritual, and medicinal purposes. An unknown Echinopsis species sometimes referred to as "The Cactus of the Four Winds" is said to have potently psychedelic effects.
