Description
Excerpt from Mescal Buttons: Anhalonium Lewinii-Hennings (Lophophora Williamsii Lewinii-Coulter)
The button is somewhat brittle and hard and can be pulverized in a mortar with difficulty. In the mouth, however, under the action of the saliva, it swells and rapidly becomes soft, the consistency which it acquires giving somewhat the sensation imparted by slippery elm. The taste is disagreeable and nauseous and very bitter, with a persistent after-taste. A marked sensation of stinging or tingling is produced in the fauces, which remains for some time after the drug has been swallowed. The powdered drug is odorless when dry, but acquires a nauseous odor upon being moistened.''
