... it is something that I had been thinking about myself, for a while. As I recall, there are certain types of Morning Glory seeds that also contain LSA, are there not? If I remember correctly, though, the concentration is higher in Hawaiian Baby Wood Rose seeds than in Morning Glory seeds.
Another thing to consider is that although we have yet to receive a report from anyone trying mescaline, it is known that Shamans have used peyote at low doses to treat vascular headaches. While the purified compound, mescaline, is a Schedule I controlled substance, and the peyote cactus is specifically prohibited in the US, another cactus that contains mescaline, the "San Pedro" cactus, is not illegal.
My guess is that mescaline will be just as effective as psilocybin or LSD in treating cluster headaches and migraines.
