Melanocyte-stimulating hormone is a collective name for a group of peptide hormones produced by the skin, pituitary gland and hypothalamus in response to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It plays a key role in producing coloured pigmentation found in the skin, hair and eyes.n Addisonâs disease, the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones (including cortisol). This leads to a positive feedback loop where the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland to release more adrenocorticotropic hormone to try and stimulate the adrenal glands to produce more cortisol.
Mescaline is a natural hallucinogenic substance that comes from a small spineless cactus called the Peyote, or Lophophora williamsi; the San Pedro Cactus, or Echinopsis pachanoi; and the Peruvian Torch cactus, or the Echinopsis peruviana.
Peyote is a spineless cactus that grows in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The mescaline comes from the crown which is on top of the cactus. The crown consists of small disc shaped buttons which contains the mescaline. These buttons are removed from the cactus and dried. few of the more severe side results can persist even after the peyote user has stopped using the drug. Normally, these side effects will subside soon after the drug effects have worn off. The results of abusing peyote often result in other outcomes that surpass the psychological and physical.
