  Mescaline: A Psychedelic Catalyst for Healing
The hallucinogenic effects of the mescaline is necessary for the healing ceremony to function properly.
Mescaline is unique among drugs in that its main action is a stimulant of the visual and visuo-psychic areas of the cortex (Kluver, 65).
The use of the mescaline in the ritual to achieve this positive result is a welcome contrast to many current negative attitudes towards psychedelic experiences.

Mescaline is made when the caps, or buttons, are dried and eaten, brewed into tea or powdered into capsules.
Psilocybin and mescaline are psycho-active because they closely resemble the structures of neuro-transmitters that convey impulses from one nerve to another, especially in the brain.
Mescaline does not have the indole ring, but as shown in red in the diagram above, its structure can be represented so as to suggest its relation to the ring.

 Mescaline, An Overview
The analysis revealed that mescaline was present and that the aged buttons were therefore indeed derived from the peyote cactus, more formally known as the species Lophophora williamsii and known to be one of the world's longest employed entheogens, used by both the Aztec's of old and by various tribes of Amerindians to this day.
The presence of the alkaloid mescaline within the peyote cactus is thus notable for its longevity and ability to remain stable and potentially psychoactive over immense periods of time.
And yet a look at some of the descriptions of mescaline intoxication outlined in Kluver's book makes a clear case that peyote is indeed worthy of investigation and that these early experiments in psychedelic or entheogenic phenomenology were indeed full of promise in the then relatively young field of psychology.

While mescaline is about 4,000 times less potent -- microgram for microgram -- than LSD, both drugs work in similar ways, by temporarily tilting the distribution and action in the brain of such neurotransmitters as dopamine and serotonin, although their exact mechanism of action remains unclear.
