Of course it can be synthesized but that would also be very inefficient for anybody looking to make a profit, keeping in mind that it takes a dosage of over 400mg of mescaline to produce pronounced effects.
Just take a look at ecstasydata.org which has tested over 1,500 tablets with GC/MS, none of them appeared to contain any mescaline whatsoever.
If you were told an "ecstasy" tablet contains mescaline it was more than likely just to arouse more interest in the user, or the tablet contains some research chemical such as a 2C-x or DOx.
I remember having a dream of extracting about 4 doses worth of mescaline out of 250grams or dried peruvian torch incense. I have never dreamt about e but the mesc dream involed absolutely no nightmares and was quite the good dream :thumbsup:
