Psychoactive lizards... untapped potential?

[Snafu in the Void]

Recently came across this interesting topic. I've heard of psychoactive plants, fungi, frogs, fish... but lizards? Not that unusual I guess. Our ancestors likely consumed various animal brains for their psychoactive effects.

This man would consume lizard tails in various methods and claimed it gave him euphoria, well being, confidence and would also potentiate the other drugs he was using (apparently he was dependent on Dextropropoxyphene, an atypical opioid) for 10+ hours.

He apparently got the idea from a shaman who would smoke the lizard with cannabis.

unfortunately this paper doesn't explain much, only records it as happening, and leaves it up to the imagination

there are a few other sparse reports on google about psychoactive lizards but they're all behind a pay wall

Send me links to the paywalled stuff, I might have access.

I notice that smoking scorpion sting has also been encountered. Frightening stuff.

Here’s another case report that strangely reads very much like the one you posted with nearly identical quotes but overall it seems to still be a different case study.

Sounds like some prisoners got desperate and may have discovered something new.

Puts a new spin on chasing the dragon.
