Coffea. It is the shrub that coffee comes from. I feel that this has been a stable drug and all around the globe, people love caffeine.
Papaver Somniferum also comes into mind. While it has gathered a terrible stigma, its also done wonders medically.
On a personal level, I have been habitually using kratom for a year and a half. Through study, I have found no negative effects and stumbled into many physiological healthy effects. Along with this, it feels amazing. Mitragyna Speciosa.

Oh, missed the part where OP said food plants were excluded. Oh well.
Edit: Looks like he added that caveat later on anyway. Kinda lame IMO, food plants are some of the most important plants to humans.

Camellia Sinensis for sure even though Cepheus already mentioned it. The huge variety of things that that plant produces is just insane.
Also, nice to see you posting here more Cepheus. Always nice to see some of the people I associate with when I started coming here.

Hmm, maybe I just skimmed it then. The summary for the edit seemed to suggest it was added later. Either way, excluding the single most important use we have for plants seems limiting.

He just added emphasis on the bit that was already there. I certainly read it the first time round, but you weren't the first or the only one to miss it.

Quinoa is also a nice plant, so does manioc.
But they arent as significant to the humanity as a whole

Works amazing as mouthwash and wound filling all over the body (stops bleeding) and healing.
Spirulina - complete plant protein
Chlorella.
Bee pollen/honey/jelly
Maca
Cashew
Quinoa Rhodiola
Astragalus
Tea Goji Tobacco (Nicotiana rustica) Rhemannia
Ginsengs
cat's claw Lemon Balm Nettle yohimbe DMT from leaves and MAOI's like Syrian rue and Caapi (Ayahuasca). epena virola Bufotenine Cannabis
Reishi (Duanwood)mushrooms and all medicinal mushrooms and psychedelic co-evolutionary counterparts of god; cactus, iboga, lysergics, etc.
-------------------- Favorite entheogen experiences in descending order: 1)Combo of oral DMT + smoked Bufotenine 2)Amanita (urine drank twice) 3)Mushrooms > Achuma 16"+cid(still need higher dose Achuma)> Cid (still need high dose) 4)Morning Glory-HBWR (+cumin, cinnamon aldehyde adducts) > Methyl chavicol (need more activators) 5)Salvia (need to try quid)
All readable matter in the above post is ficticious... any similarities to real life are purely coincidental. Blessing.
