Drugs {hallucinogen}| can cause delirium and unreal sense experiences. In small doses, they cause euphoria and hyperactivity. Hallucinogens are toxic, can cause fever, antagonize serotonin, arouse sympathetic nervous system, and are non-addictive. Dimethoxytryptamine, LSD, marijuana, mescaline, peyote, and psilocybin are hallucinogens [Earleywine, 2002] [Grinspoon and Bakalar, 1993].
Norse legends describe mushroom-derived drugs {amanita muscaria} {fly agaric}.
Atropa-belladonna alkaloid {atropine} dilates pupils, is poisonous, and causes flying illusions.
Atropa-belladonna drugs {belladonna} can cause flying sense qualities, but are poisons.
Harmine, tetrahydroharmine, and harmaline {beta-carboline} can inhibit monoamine oxidase, which breaks down DMT.
Drugs {cannabis} {delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol} (THC) (delta-9-THC) {cannabinoids} can prolong time.
human
Body makes anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol cannabinoids, which bind to hippocampus cannabinoid receptors and affect memory. Cannabinoids increase dopamine release.
types
Oleamide is hypnotic. Hallucinogens {marijuana} {hashish} can be in China [-2737], Iran {beng}, Morocco {kif}, South America {dagga}, and India {bhang} {gangha} {charas}. Marijuana distorts time and causes objective feelings about self, light feelings, clear-perception feelings, and then lapses into sleep. Marijuana is non-addictive. Marijuana comes from hemp-species resin [Earleywine, 2002] [Grinspoon and Bakalar, 1993].
Cough suppressants {dextromethorphan} can bind to NMDA receptors to prevent NMDA binding. High concentrations can cause hallucinations.
Drugs {N,N-dimethyltryptamine} {dimethoxytryptamine} (DMT) {tryptamine} can make world seem to shrink or expand. DMT is main drug in ayahuasca. DMT makes 5-HT-serotonin system excited, especially at cerebrum-layer-5 presynaptic 5-HT2A receptors. DMT can cause religious ecstasy.
Morphine acetylation makes alkaloid opiate {heroin}.
Drugs {lysergic acid diethylamide} (LSD) can excite 5-HT-serotonin system, especially at cerebrum-layer-5 presynaptic 5-HT2A receptors. LSD can cause cosmic consciousness. People on LSD feel out of time and space and so unified with nature. They can feel holy or insightful or have good moods [DeBold and Leaf, 1967] [Doblin, 1991] [Masters and Houston, 1967] [Pahnke, 1963] [Pahnke, 1967] [Pahnke, 1971].
3-methylene-dioxy-methamphetamines {methamphetamine} (meth) (MDMA) {ecstasy, drug} are amphetamines and hallucinogens. MDMA can damage serotonin neurons. MDMA is analeptic and causes age regression. It can cause love feelings. It is addictive.
Peyote mescal-button alkaloids {mescaline} can be stimulants and cause feeling heightened experience. Mescaline phenylethylamine excites the 5-HT-serotonin system, especially at cerebrum-layer-5 presynaptic 5-HT2A receptors.
Drugs {MK-801} can bind to NMDA receptors and prevent NMDA binding.
Peyote plants make chemical mixtures {peyote} milder than mescaline.
Teonanacatl drugs {psilocybin} can give mystical experiences. People on psilocybin feel out of time and space, and so unified with nature, and can feel holy and insightful or have good moods [Doblin, 1991] [Earleywine, 2002] [Grinspoon and Bakalar, 1993] [Masters and Houston, 1967] [Pahnke, 1963] [Pahnke, 1967] [Pahnke, 1971].
Salvia-divinorum mint diterpene {salvinorin A} binds to kappa-opioid receptors and causes hallucinations in Mazatek ceremonies in Mexico.
Sacred Aztec mushrooms {teonanacatl} are from Mexico [-1000].
