Was there a section that lays out what plants people should not consume?
Just wondering if there are guidelines for what we’re not supposed to do. Plants to avoid, animals that are off limits.

I don't believe that the Torah lists any forbidden plants. Plants are neutral, in the sense of not being milk or meat. Animals are addressed at length all over the Torah, as well as the mixing of meat with milk products.
Regarding plants with hallucinogenic properties, I'd say that this is addressed as part of an overall approach to prayer - it is forbidden in Judaism to pray while intoxicated, since that is disrespectful to G-d. The source of the intoxication isn't addressed, but no matter the source the injunction is clear. One must come to G-d with a clear mind (well, as clear as is possible - most liberals don't have a clear mind when they are stone cold sober, but that's a different matter).
I hope that this helps.
I am not saying the Moses was high, but drugs have been a part of mystical religious experience forever. Just because it is not accepted in society today does not mean that has not occurred in the past.
See above - drugs have no part in Judaism. Other religions-for sure (peyote is a prime example).
Just one: it was in the MIDDLE of the Garden.
But it appears that Evolution has made some more since then...
