Why do you want to know? :)

We have to keep in mind that they had a huge far reaching trade network to other regions. So it could have been some of the already known from other regions. Acacia bark and Syrian Rue was a common hallucinogenic concoction in the middle east. The Amanita Muscaria mushroom was a really big deal all over back then. And I am sure they had opium and others imported.

I don’t think it a stretch to assume they were skilled enough to build marine vessels that could make it to the New World for their tobacco and coca plants and probably did have contact with (Ayahuasca) or whatever hallucinogenic plants might be found on their journeys
