In the 1920s, Klüver's interest in eidetic visual phenomena led him to conduct a series of experiments during which he ingested mescal "buttons," the dried tops of the peyote cactus, a plant with an ancient history of ritual use among indigenous populations of Mexico and the American southwest. His resulting 1928 monograph, Mescal, broke ground as the first English-language work on the subject. Indeed, Klüver was decades ahead of his time in considering psychoactive compounds as worthy of serious scientific investigation, particularly with regard to the human visual apparatus. The present volume contains the full text of Mescal along with the later Mechanisms of Hallucinations (1942), and a new preface by Klüver.
