The primary psychoactive alkaloid found in lophophoras is mescaline, and the average "effective" dosage for people is 200 to 400 milligrams. To show exactly how ludicrous it is to restrict enthusiast growing of this varieties, a huge, mature 3-inch "button" yields just 25 milligrams of mescaline. For an efficient dosage, one would need to cultivate, at minimum, eight large plants, which can take anywhere from 10 to 20 years to expand. That does not take into account the lessened return of the alkaloid as a result of farming problems and also substratum, and also if the cultivar was really L. williamsii or one of the relevant varieties that have little to no mescaline web content. Lophophoras can have a number of other ethnobotanically considerable alkaloids that include pellotine and anhaladine.

Second metabolite examples might include bitter agents to prevent grazing from parasites, secure a plant from warm or aid the plant absorb or reflect sunlight.
