This sort of thing has been known for a long time.
Pagans have always done this.
When the Old Testament talks about witchcraft it uses a word that means drugs, we got our words pharmacy, pharmaceuticals etc.. from it’s root.
Philip K Dick wrote a book about an Episcopal priest who became so obsessed with the idea that the original Host was actually a hallucinogenic mushroom found in cave in the Middle East that he went out looking for it and was never found again, or died looking for it. The book is called The Transmigration of Timothy Archer and was based on a Bishop Pike.
I always found it somewhat puzzling the giving the ambiguous meanings of pharmakeia, they chose "drugs" over "poisons".
