So i've stumbled upon this schematic of mescaline biosynthesis.
Apparently in plants, it starts from Tyramine, and OH groups are added, to form in turn Dopamine then Carbons pop in and form mescaline.
My intuition tells me, you'd only have to get tyramine, and plunge it into carbonic acid HCO3, and hope for a good mix of dopamine, mescaline and anhalamine.
But it would be way too simple that way... can anyone tell me why that wouldn't work ?
