John Raleigh Briggs (1851–1907) was an American physician and businessman based in Dallas, Texas. He was the first Westerner known to have tried and described the effects of peyote, which contains the psychedelic drug mescaline. Briggs learned of peyote from his brother, who had spent years among Native Americans and Mexicans and had observed their entheogenic use of the cactus, describing it as producing "beautiful visions" and allowing them to journey to the "spirit world".
