Lophophora fricii, also known as false peyote, is a species of Lophophora found in Mexico.
Constituents and effects In terms of total alkaloid content, Lophophora fricii contains 65.4% pellotine, 25.4% anhalonidine, and 1.0% mescaline. For comparison, Lophophora williamsii (peyote) contains 30% mescaline, 17% pellotine, and 14% anhalonidine, whereas Lophophora diffusa (false peyote) contains 86% pellotine, 3.8% anhalonidine, and 1.2% mescaline. In contrast to peyote, false peyotes like Lophophora fricii and Lophophora diffusa are said to not produce hallucinogenic effects. Whereas mescaline is a psychedelic drug, pellotine and anhalonidine are known to produce sedative and hypnotic effects.
