O.K. from a book "The Hallucinogens" - Hoffer & Osmond
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
'Even a variety of fish produces hallucinations. Roughly (1960)
|
||
|
|
described the dream fish present near Norfolk island. The inhabitants
|
||
|
|
stated consuming this fish would produce nightmares. In order to test
|
||
|
|
this claim, Joe Roberts, National Geographic photographer, consumed
|
||
|
|
some of the fish, broiled. The next morning he reported "It was pure
|
||
|
|
science fiction." He saw a new kind of car, pictures of monuments to
|
||
|
|
mark man's first trip into space. The fish is Kyphosus fuscus,
|
||
|
|
closely related to the silver drummer caught off New South Wales.
|
||
|
|
The author, Roughly, also tried the fish and had weird dreams.'

|
||
|
|
and information on certain Hawaiin centipedes, AZ scorpians,
|
||
|

: Other than that, it just states that "nobody is known to have died from

|

: I'd venture a guess at either a DMT relative or bufotenin relative,

: which crop up in the venoms of other animals.

Someone should do an analysis :)
|
||
|
|
There is also an hallucinogenic catipiller, or so says "chemistry in the
|
||
|
|
market place" (cant remember the author just now). Unfortunately he doesnt
|
||
|
|
provide a reference.
