Abstract
The abuse of new psychoactive substances is severe globally. Among phenethylamine compounds, mescaline and its analogues are a class of substances that are often overlooked, yet their abuse has shown a gradual increase in recent years. This paper reviews mescaline and its analogues from three aspects: their basic information, pharmacological and toxicological properties, and detection methods. The aim is to provide insights for future research on mescaline and its analogues, as well as to provide references for forensic examination involving these substances.
