Anhalinine is a naturally occurring alkaloid^[2] which can be isolated from Lophophora williamsii (peyote). It is structurally related to mescaline and is a cyclized phenethylamine analogue of mescaline. Anhalinine is described as also active, but as only a minor constituent of peyote.^[3] It has been described as having stimulant properties due to inhibiting cholinergic neurotransmission.^[4]^[5]^[6] Alexander Shulgin tried anhalinine at small doses of 0.5 to 4.3 mg but experienced no effects.^[7]
