      In some ways I am not surprised that there are so many hallucinogenic plants - though I was not aware of all those. I think that we all know that many, many plants contain strong chemicals that effect the body. Chilli peppers give a pleasant burning sensation, Digitalis gives a life saving drug and Brugmansia causes hallucinations - but they are also all poisonous if you take the wrong amount.

      I never knew Lobleia tupa was on the list. It gives me a problem. I recently bought a packet of seeds - now, do I chew them or sow them. :scratch:
