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.
Mescaline is legal only for certain religious groups (such as the Native American Church) and in scientific and medical research. In 1990, the Supreme Court ruled that the state of Oregon could bar the use of mescaline in Native American religious ceremonies.escaline is legal only for certain religious groups (such as the Native American Church) and in scientific and medical research.
