Nantahala Lake
Nantahala Lake (/ˌnæntəˈheɪlə/) is located in Macon County, North Carolina in the western part of the state. The lake is regulated and maintained by Duke Energy and is a major source of hydroelectric power to the region.  Nantahala is located at 3,000 feet (910 m) in the Nantahala National Forest.

The lake was created in 1942 by Nantahala Power to provide electricity for war effort. With 42 miles (68 km) of shoreline, the lake offers recreational opportunities at Nantahala that include swimming, boating, skiing, and many other activities. Fishing aficionados will find largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, trout, catfish, and many different species of panfish.  The lake water is very clear; there is almost no dissolved silt/clay. When daytime waves stir up the lake bed along the shoreline, however, the water within the first several feet of shore can become temporarily cloudy.  Most of the shoreline plummets steeply into and beneath the water, limiting this effect.

Nantahala National Forest
The Nantahala National Forest (/ˌnæntəˈheɪlə/) is the largest of the four national forests in North Carolina, lying in the mountains and valleys of western North Carolina. The Nantahala is the second wettest region in the Continental US, after the Pacific Northwest and it is part of the Appalachian temperate rainforest. Due to its environmental importance and historical ties with the Cherokee, the forest was officially established on January 29, 1920, by President Woodrow Wilson. The word "Nantahala" is a Cherokee derived word, meaning "Land of the Noonday Sun." In some spots, the sun reaches the floors of the deep gorges of the forest only when it is high overhead at midday. This was part of the homeland of the historic Cherokee and their indigenous ancestors, who have occupied the region for thousands of years.  The Nantahala River runs through it.

Anhalotine
Anhalotine is a tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid found in the cactus Lophophora williamsii (peyote). It is a quaternary ammonium compound, specifically the methiodide of the secondary alkaloid anhalidine. Anhalotine occurs in trace amounts alongside other peyote alkaloids such as mescaline, anhalonidine, pellotine, and anhalonine. As a quaternary salt, it is not psychoactive.

Anhalonine
Anhalonine, also known as 1-methyl-6-methoxy-7,8-methylenedioxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, is a tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid found in Lophophora williamsii (peyote) and many other cactus species. Peyote contains 3% anhalonine. It is known to be pharmacologically active and is said to be similar in its activity to anhalonidine. Arthur Heffter tried anhalonine via self-experimentation at an oral dose of 100 mg and found that it was inactive. Anhalonine was isolated from peyote by Louis Lewin in 1888 and was bioassayed by Heffter with his report published in 1898.
