Mycologists have found a fungi that can eliminate termites. Acts like a toxic barrier and starves termites of their nutrients. (Covered in the film, Fantastic Fungi)
Take a wild guess which businesses DON'T want this science to become a product for insect extermination?
It is a fascinating hypothesis that esoteric knowledge of concocting hallucinogenic brews helped consolidate political power.
Especially in light of how alcohol has been so ruinous for so many North American indigenous peoples and how alcohol contributed to weakening the Russian state. The entire subject matter is interesting given the current interest in hallucinogenic drugs for mental health.
If you look carefully at the Antiquity journal article, you will see San Pedro cactus in the lists of botanical remains recovered from Quilcapampa. San Pedro cactus is similar in effect to Peyto buttons. Mescaline is the active ingredient.

From some googling, I would say that these synthetic tryptamine (mushrooms) derivatives would be most commonly used in the Rave / Dance scene. Designer drugs, the first famous one was Ecstasy. One of these listed above is nicknamed Molly which I have heard about. Not anything I would want to try, maybe the last one DiPT, but that would be it. In the present fentanyl laced climate, actually no way in hell.

This is no joke and imo is just as and possibly even more dangerous then abusing other drugs that have such bad reputations as heroin, cocaine and meth. Of course any drug sans Marijuana is dangerous when using chronically, but in terms of halllucinogens it seems to me that pure LSD is the safest provided you don't go all Syd Barrett or Peter Green. Possibly mushrooms, but I have a bias against them for my body just does not like them and I get sick. In my experience there is nothing better than pure LSD of course acquiring pure LSD is quite the challenge, but I suppose you take a risk with anything on the black market. I do think that I'm relatively qualified to make a judgment considering that I have done a large enough sample size of all of them except for heroin to have a reasonably well formed opinion. There is nothing worse than a MDMA hangover from excessive serotonin dumping I tell ya what.
