Natural hallucinogens, including psilocybin, mescaline, and DMT, have long been studied for their profound effects on human perception and cognition.
Emerging studies propose that these compounds might play significant ecological roles, rather than being accidental products of evolution.
This perspective opens new avenues for understanding the relationship between these substances and their environments, suggesting a more complex evolutionary narrative.
