In Algeria, ancient cave art may show psychedelic mushroom use
Ancient peoples likely consumed everything seemingly edible they came across. Imagine how profound an experience would be taking a hallucinogen as an ancient person, with no explanations for how anything of that experience might of worked. It really seems plausible that an experience like this could lead to entire belief systems of thought, especially during this time when no one knew what a psychedelic trip was or how to place that experience in any context. It wouldn&#x27;t be hard to imagine entire cultures springing up around these drugs back then. After all, entire cultures have sprung up around these drugs in modern times.
