Donkter@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoThis always made me wonder. Why don’t we hear more about these psychoactive substances in modern day drugs. I know the nightshade family is usually poisonous as well as psychoactive but surely people have experimented with extracting/filtering these plants to get the desired effect like we extract cocaine from coca leaves or opium from poppies.

I looked up ephedrine, as far as I could tell the side effects were quite heavy compared to caffein or cocaine (though cocaine makes up for it by being very addictive).

Dunno about the US but these pants are all alive and well in Europe, it’s just that the experiences they provide tend to be petty extreme (in the case of datura/belladone for example), and/or too weak or impractical compared to the modern offerings. But yeah any psychonaut worth their salt would at least know about them if not tried some of them.
