Something I noticed that I thought I'd share...the eight "classic" hallucinogens seem to be able to be paired off. I include MDMA on this list, I know its an empathogen, but I consider it classic.
The two endogenous: DMT and 5-Meo-DMT
The two unique lifeforms: psilocybin mushrooms and mescaline cacti
The two anti-addictive k-opioid agonists: salvia and ibogaine
The two accidentally discovered semisynthetics: LSD and MDMA
Another thing, which Sasha Shulgin pointed out....
mescaline=archetypal phenethylamine (the only one found in nature)
DMT=archetypal tryptamine (the simplest+the more desirable of the two endogenous)
Interestingly, it is these two that find the greatest traditional use in Native American cultures (peyote and ayahuasca)
