^^^Ok kids.

Now stop fucking with the Shaman's plants
Rasta is correct. There is a plethora of plants out there that can get you high, so to speak, however, messing with them is not a good plan unless you are guided by someone who is very experienced in their use. Utilizing native plants for spiritual enlightenment is an age old technique but many (if not most) of those techniques for preparation are long since lost. But the stories and legends of their propeties and effects linger on. Unless you really know what you're doing, it's a bad idea. Much like looking for edible mushrooms is a bad idea unless you have a good teacher who can lead you to the safe ones.
Then again, it could fall in to the category of being natures way of weeding out the stupid.
