Mescaline became commercially available in 1920 following its first synthesis in 1919.[1][2] In 1921, Beringer started clinical studies of mescaline, administered it to more than 60 people, mostly doctors and medical students at his clinic, and studied its psychological effects, especially its visuals.[1][2] He published his findings in Der Meskalinrausch in 1927.[1][2]
Beringer, in his monograph and in other publications, was the first to comment on similarities between mescaline intoxication and schizophrenia symptoms, describing the effects of mescaline as "experimental psychosis".[4][5]
After its publication, Heinrich Klüver used Beringer's data to conduct the first phenomenological analysis of psychedelic effects.[1][3] He published his findings in his own monograph Mescal: The Divine Plant and Its Psychological Effects in 1928.[1][3]
