probably not, but maybe andes.com... ;^)
Never tried those, but there was a guy on my dorm floor (freshman year) who was trying to grow ‘shrooms in his room. Lot of characters, mostly other freshmen. I hung out with some real brainiacs, also some psychopaths. :^)
The mushroom farmer left a note on the dry erase board (many people had those) on the door of our resident ass’t, asking him for help with his ‘shroom efforts.
Anyway, the farmer didn’t complete that year, dropped out. No idea why. ;^) And I thought my grades were bad.
I’d imagine this Andean plant still gets smoked.
Back in my idiot years, a fella in town was a real off grid type, and we stopped over his cabin one day and he had just come back from collecting mushrooms- he offered us some, and like a dope I said “ok”, not realizing mushrooms could be deadly if the wrong type. The trip back home was interesting to say the least. Bought some a few times, and again, one has tk trust the seller thst they didn’t make a mistake. Not a good thing to mess with.
“Is it laced?”
“I guess we’ll have to drink or smoke it to find out.”
I’m hearing Inna-Gada-Da-Vida faintly in the background.
As with cave art, the wheel, and the first watercraft, among other things, my view is that young boys hanging out and doing the double-dare thing resulted in most of our cultural foundation. They’d throw some stuff on the first to see what would happen, maybe it smelled nice, maybe it got the whole village high. Maybe that’s how humans got interested in fire in the first place. :^)

interesting
It was probably good to be a little wary of the Wari.
I sure hope no one used that before.
