Ergotism makes you pretty ill. You may hallucinate, but you are so sick from the poison that it would be clear to you and those observing you that you were intoxicated in the true meaning of the word.

Green mulberry berries will also make you hallucinate, while you’re convulsing.

There was a case of ergotism in France a few decades ago (Hoffmann thought it was mercury poisoning, but most thought it was ergot on rye), and the people acted crazy for a while, but I don’t think anyone thought it was divinely inspired.

Just communicating one of those little random bits of information that has found purchase in this bizzare mass of cells that functions as my brain. I have all kinds of strange and generally useless information stored in random places that pop-up when certain neurons fire.

I take no responsibility for applicability. I once had a co-worker tell me he was grateful that he didn't have my brain because it was so filled with strange minutiae. :)
