Echinopsis scopulicola is a type of cactus native to Bolivia, which contains psychedelic compounds. Many claimed this species contained mescaline.[1] This was confirmed in 2010 in a study of well-documented individual living plants of the subgenus Trichocereus of the genus Echinopsis. E. scopulicola was noted to contain 0.82% mescaline by dry weight in the outer green layer.[2]
