These 5 Plants Can Make People Hallucinate
Some people drain their energy to fight for the legalization of cannabis, which is indeed prohibited because it can be intoxicating, in some countries. But, did you know, that cannabis is not the only plant that can make someone get the effects of hallucinations if consumed? There are still some other plants that have similar substances that cannabis has, or other substances that can provide hallucinatory effects. Some of them can be owned and consumed legally. However, if you want to consume one of them for your addiction treatment, we suggest you try ayahuasca tea.
