It is a psychedelic, with effects similar to (but distinct from) those produced by LSD and psilocybin. Researchers from investigators at the University of Alabama at Birmingham published research in 2017 that suggested that mescaline use was associated with a decreased likelihood of antisocial criminal behavior.[1]
