The authors advise that at the top of page 246 it was incorrectly stated that Echinopsis lageniformis, one of a number of mescaline-containing cacti, has been consumed by humans throughout the Americas for millennia. In fact, no clear supportive evidence for the historical use of E. lageniformis by indigenous peoples can be found. The relevant sentence should be changed from:
The history of psychedelic phenethylamines, as noted earlier, is ancient and begins with mescaline (4), which has been consumed by humans in preparations of the peyote (L. williamsii) and wachuma (E. pachanoi, E. peruvianus or E. lageniformis) cacti throughout the Americas for millennia.
to:

Keeper Trout is thanked for drawing this error to our attention.
