[edit] Cannabis
Cannabis (Marijuana) is a popular psychedelic plant. Cannabis is also unique in that it contains a psychedelic substance, THC, which contains no nitrogen and is not an indole, phenethylamine, anticholinergic (deliriant), or a disassociative drug. It is the weakest of the psychedelics but can produce vivid illusions at higher doses, similar to a low dose of a classic psychedelic such as psilocybin or LSD. Currently, certain universities and research firms are studying the medicinal effects of cannabis. Many US states such as California and many countries have created a Medical Cannabis law to allow patients to use cannabis as (among other things) a pain killer and appetite stimulant.
[edit] Plants containing psychedelic tryptamines
Many of the psychedelic plants contain dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which is either snorted (Virola, Yopo snuffs), smoked, or drunk with MAOIs (Ayahuasca). It can not simply be eaten, and it needs to be extremely concentrated to be smokable, since the user needs to smoke all of it in a minute or else tolerance builds rapidly.
- Fittonia albivenis, a common ornamental plant from South America. The plant has unknown compounds, that reportedly cause “visions of eyeballs.” It is also useful in the treatment of headaches, etc.
- Justicia pectoralis, DMT in leaves[1]
- Acer saccharinum (Silver Maple Tree) was found to contain the indole alkaloid gramine (not active and extremely toxic) 0.05% in the leaves, so it is possible that other members of this plant family contain active compounds.[2]

Nymphaea caerulea | Recent studies have shown Nymphaea caerulea to have psychedelic properties, and may have been used as a sacrament in ancient Egypt and certain ancient South American cultures. Dosages of 5 to 10 grams of the flowers induces slight stimulation, a shift in thought processes, enhanced visual perception, and mild closed-eye visuals. Nymphaea caerulea is related to, and possesses similar activity as Nelumbo nucifera, the Sacred Lotus. Both Nymphaea caerulea and Nelumbo nucifera contain the alkaloids nuciferine and apomorphine, which have been recently isolated by independent labs.[citation needed]These psychoactive effects make Nymphaea caerulea a likely candidate (among several) for the lotus plant eaten by the mythical Lotophagi in Homer‘s Odyssey.
Used in aromatherapy, Nymphaea caerulea is purported to have a “divine” essence, bringing euphoria, heightened awareness and tranquility.[citation needed] Other sources cite anti-spasmodic and sedative, purifying and calming properties. |
Mitragynine |
Mitragyna Speciosa | Leaves contain mitragynine (thought to be primary psychoactive), mitraphylline, and 7-hydroxymitragynine. (An unusual stimulant and narcotic-like effect reminiscent of caffeine and opium) |
Leonurine |
Leonotis leonurus | Both leaves and flowers (where most concentrated) contain Leonurine. (Effects reminiscent of marijuana) |
Leonurine |
Leonotis nepetifolia | Both leaves and flowers (where most concentrated) contain Leonurine. (Effects reminiscent of marijuana) |
Active Chemical Unknown | Calea zacatechichi | Produces vivid dreams after smoking. It is also employed by the Chontal people as a medicinal herb against gastrointestinal disorders, and is used as an appetizer, cathartic anti-dysentery remedy, and as a fever-reducing agent. |
Ipomoea tricolor & Ipomoea violacea |
D-lysergic acid amide and lysergic acid amides in the seeds; up to 0.12% total[93] |
Rivea corymbosa | Seeds contain D-lysergic acid amide, lysergol, and turbicoryn; lysergic acid alkaloids up to 0.03%[94] |
Some Mirabilis sp. | LSA |
Apocynaceae family:
- Catharanthus roseus is (perhaps unpleasantly) “hallucinogenic.”[95]
- Vinca minor

Euphorbiaceae family:
Loganaceae family:
- Desfontainia spinosa, causes visions[97]
Lythraceae family:
