Any enthogenic or psychotropic plants that grow in Ohio River Valley area?

[DillSpice]

I'm currently looking for information on any common plants in the Ohio River Valley area that can produce a "high". So far I have found and consumed Mulberry Bush (Morus Alba) leaves and berries and Bittersweet Nightshade (Solanum Dulcamara) by eating the entire plant. Both the Mulberry and B. Nightshade produced pleasant results that were to my liking. Would like to know if there are any more plants like these common in my area.

Why did you consume nightshade? That's a poisonous or toxic plant.

I moved your thread to North and South America drug discussion. If we feel it's suited for a different forum we'll move it there; but be very careful which plants and fungi you eat that you find in the wild.

I can only emphasize that from a harm reduction perspective it is imperative that you know exactly what you're consuming. Plants and particularly mushrooms can be exceedingly difficult to tell apart from potentially dangerous or fatal lookalikes. You really need some specific botanical or mycological knowledge to be safe.

Also, a discussion of psychoactive plants native to a particular area is an appropriate topic for this forum, but absolutely no discussion of sources, etc. will be tolerated.

And furthermore to double down—with all plant drugs, by their very nature, dosage is uncertain. While with, for example, psilocybe spp. mushrooms the worst you're in for is a heavier (potentially bad) trip, things like nightshade/datura plants can do far worse, including kill you, if you overshoot the mark, so it's also important to be very conservative regarding dosing.

skullcap might grow around there, also amanita muscaria mushrooms. make sure you properly identify them and start with a very low dose.

I'm not interested in any fungi due to the risks of misidentification. I pursued Bittersweet Nightshade so I could extract the solanine from it. I know the risks associated with my behaviors and am taking them into consideration. I am still pursuing information on Psychoactive plants in my area. Any help?
