Prehistoric drugs

I was just letting my brain wander, and I started to think about extinct species. Plants have a much, much, much longer history than us mammalians. I wonder how many psychoactive plants have come and gone before we got here. Just think, 65 million years ago there may have been a dmt dinosaur rather than a dmt frog (I don't know what the species is called). I wonder if cannabis had some ancestor that produced 10 foot buds. Maybe there was a completely different psychedelic that we know nothing about. I also have pondered the plant and animal life that lives beneath our seas. I wonder if there are any ocean flora or fauna that have psychoactive properties. (finished incoherent babbling.)

Maybe there were plants that ate some DMT insects.... like some distant ancestor of the Dionaea muscipula

Nice insight. I didn't think about it.

That is ridiculously cool. Well, supposedly there was a higher concentration of oxygen and CO2 in the atmosphere long ago, so I bet some mushrooms were ginormous. Imagine a 20 foot cube growing on a pile of brontosaurus dung.

There are fish that have hallucinogenic compounds in them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthyoallyeinotoxism
I've thought about this topic too, but not in the sense of prehistoric times. More along the lines of currently existing natural materials which are psychoactive and unknown. Guess the only way to find out is to get a submersible, dive into the uncharted ocean, then capture and smoke every organism I find.

The question is...who's brave enough to run up to the DMT-Rex and give him a lick?
Anyway, interesting thought! When I read "I wonder how many psychoactive plants have come and gone before we got here." I literally got a pit feeling in my stomach, like some type of deep regret. Then to myself I was like "damn man you're a junkie, regretting missing out on entheogens that went extinct long before you were born."

How about what we will find once we can leave this planet and explore the universe?
Extraterrestrial shit! Maybe aliens who live in a psychedelic world... Intelligent fungi... Mushroom worlds....
Actual DMT beings!
