Description
This picture is a bunch of plants that have been used by people for a long time for visionary and religious uses. I'll give a short description of them.Ergot (Top left corner)- This is a fungus that infects grain and is the cause of a lethat disease. I added it because LSD was synthesized from it in 1938 by the swiss chemist Albert Hofmann. It also contains quite a few other alkaloids related to acid, some of which are psychoactive in thier own right.
Morning glory (Under the ergot)- Morning Glories have been used for centuries by the Indians of Mexico as a visionary plant. It contains primarily LSA, a chemical closely related to LSA. It is also found in ergot. Morning Glories are also a widely cultivated plant around the world. Hell, my family's been growing them for years.
Psilocybe Mexicana, semilanceata (Liberty caps), cubensis (cubes)- These are but a few of your more well known "Magic Mushrooms" They were primarily used by Indians in Mexico, and brought to the west in the fifties.
Fly Agaric (The big red mushroom)- This mushroom may well be one of the oldest intoxicants known to man. It is speculated that it is the origin of Santa, that it's the source of Soma in the Rig Veda, among many other things.
Salvia Divinorum (beside the mushrooms)- This is a very unique visonary plant used by Indians in Mexico. It is very unique among visionaty plants because of the extremely bizarre nature of the trips.
Opium Poppy (Next to the Salvia)- The source of opium, and it's derivatives Heroin, Morphine, codeine, and a whole mess of others.
Cannibis (Next to the opium poppy)- I think we all know what that is.
Syrian rue seeds (Above the cannibis)- This plant is used in the middle east as a mildly psychadelic substance and soure of red dye. It's used in the west as an Ayahuasca analouge.
Yopo Seeds (Next to Syrian rue)- Used by Indians in the Amazon as a powerful hallucinogenic snuff. It contains psychoactive tryptamines.
Ayahuasca (upper right hand corner)- Used in the Amazon as a component to the visionary brew of the same name. It contains MAOI's (Harmaline, Harmine, the same in Syrian rue) and is mixed with plants containing DMT (a very powerful psychoactive tryptamine)
Datura (below ayahuasca)- This is a very powerful (and very poisionus) plant that has been used for visionary puropses around the world.
Peyote (nest to the Datura)- Used by Native Americans in the southwest for centuries.
I can draw plants!

I've used everything on there...
Opium poppies seem a bit out of place given the company they are in.... yes they are a very powerful natural drug... but nobody could ever say that opium or its derivatives are in the same category as something like salvia divinorum...
You left out some of the main players too... Where is Psycotria Viridis? and Mimosa Hostilis? two plants with the highest concentration of dimethyltryptamine (dmt)
Syrian rue - you've drawn seeds, not the actual plant.
Seeds themselves are not hallucinogenic at all, but the root of the plant is MILDLY hallucinogenic. Its more often used for is MAO-I properties in ayahuasca.
speaking of ayahuasca....
The vine in the top right is actually the cappi vine, used in ayahuasca brews.
Oh - and Salvia Divinorum has a square winged stem.....
You've done well. but perhaps a bit more research before you throw yourself on the internet acting all shamanic..
(before anyone jumps to conclusions. I grow/cultivate all of the plants in this image - with the exception of opium poppies... I do know what im talking about as I use at least one of these substances every week...)

I too have used everything on here (with the exception of ergot because I'm not stupid, and peyote, because of where I live). I've blown yopo seeds, which are psychoactive without an MAOI (up the nose), grown datura, salvia and pot (yes salvia does have a square stem, like other varieties of sage, like "pineapple mint" and cullinary sage), drinken yage, eaten morning glory, hawiian baby woodrose seeds and Ololiuqui, eaten amanitia and psilocybe mushrooms, smoked opium, plus several other things. I'll admit that you've probably got a lot more experence in the entheogen arena than I do, but I do know what I'm talking about. I've spent the last four years studying this stuff. This drawing was done in 2004 when I was still somewhat new to the whole thing. It was done not as a scientific study or anything, just as my way of showing my apreciation toward the plants themselves.
I own and have read most of the work of Sasha Shulgin, Terrence McKEnna, Gordon Wasson, Hoffman, Leary, Rick Strassman, Carlos casteneda, Stanislav Grof, John Lilly, Huxley, etc, so I do know a thing or two.
Anyway, all that aside, thanks for the comment, and best of luck to you in you journeying and cultivation.

Nice drawing. Drawing and painting plants is just awesome. Hell, plants in general are just amazing

I know that, heh heh. I've had experences with everything on there except straight ergot (which wouldn't be a good idea. I like my legs...) and peyote. Datura will make you nuts, and we all know the addictive potential of opium derivatives. If puking's not your thing, then ayahuasca isn't for you, and yopo seeds taste and feel like crap when they go up your nose. And nothing feels stranger in your gut than 500 morning glory seeds. Then there's salvia.......
But yep, drawing plants kicks ass! Thanks for the comment!

yay for ethnogens! I just had my first real dose of Kratom last night, it was great! nature really does give us all that we need, doesn't it?
the paradigm of the next century will be based on the relationship between humans and plants, and for us to wholly appreciate that relationship, we must undertstand, if not embrace all that they can do for us.
p.s. check out 07's burning man theme, i think you would like it!!!

Wow awesome. I could sware fly agaric was poisonous....
Anyway, yeah, it's amazing what plants and mushrooms can do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
fly agarics contain the neuro-toxins muscimol and ibotanic acid wich gives it psychidelic properties that produce:
synthestesia,halucinations(growing,shrinking,that sort of thing)
out of body expiriences and is eaten by allice in the childs
fairy-tale allice and wonderland and is also sat upon by
hooka smoking catapillar in the same story.amanita pantherina
produces the same toxins.
