This open-label ceremonial use study (n=42) investigates the consciousness altering effects of San Pedro, a mescaline containing cactus, in ceremonial psychedelic retreats in Europe. Results indicate that San Pedro induces deviations from normal waking consciousness on all 11 subscales of the 11D-ASC, moderate scores of ego-dissolution, and a complete mystical experience in two thirds of participants.
