A rock art panel found at Dripping Springs, New Mexico depicts abstract triangle motifs. At this panel and others like it, potent wild tobacco was found growing beneath the image. Photograph enhanced with DStretch. (Courtesy L. Loendorf)

Most likely they were ingesting peyote buttons for the mescaline. The wild tobacco growing there is most likely because that is where wild tobacco grow.
The datura "hallucinogens" are atropine, and it's natural derivatives. Some hallucinogen all right. Get that heart pumping right out of your chest.

... or maybe they were just marking the spot where their favorite hallucinogens were growing with a semiotic that struck them as appropriate given their altered mental state at the time, a sort of prehistoric set of roadsigns to guide them on their trip.

No doubt this will require lots of hands-on university research funded by the taxpayer.

Interesting and fascinating.
We can see why our society is becoming more primitive since the psychedelic revolution and widespread dope smoking.
To: SunkenCiv
Really interesting article.
I would not be surprised if when one smoked too much and died they believed they were immediately transported to the otherwise unreachable world of the spirits they only could see smoking the plants.
They may have even believed they were pulled their using the sacred plant to abuse or calling.
