Mescaline is rare because it is primarily found in cacti, which grow quite slowly and thus are difficult to cultivate/harvest in any significant amount. The natural range of these cacti is also limited. In addition to this issue, mescaline is also difficult to synthesize. Most clandestine chemists simply make more synthetically accessible compounds (and those that are active in lower doses), as making a profit from mescaline would be very unlikely. Typically, even compounds that are sold on the street as mescaline contain other substances that are easier to produce. In contrast, psilocybe mushrooms are easy to cultivate, and the synthesis of LSD, though intensive, is profitable because of the extreme potency of the compound.
No, it's not. Addiction to phenethylamine psychedelics is rare. It would be next to impossible to get addicted to mescaline sourced from a cactus although it is conceivable for somebody to become mentally addicted to synthetic/extracted mescaline simply because it's a positive experience.

Various studies were conducted on peyote/mescaline during the 20th Century. No useful medical application of the drug was found. Peyote/mescaline was banned in the U.S. in 1967 and placed on Schedule I in 1970. You can purchase Peyote seeds as well as other cacti containing mescaline online. It should be noted that what is sold as "mescaline" on the street is typically another psychedelic such as LSD.
