What adaptive value warrants the production of psychedelic or otherwise psychoactive compounds in certain plants?
-
The psychoactive compounds produced by several plant and fungus species are necessarily costly of metabolic resources. They must play some role in plant physiology to warrant their propagation down the lineages. Yet, of what adaptive value is the mescaline to peyote? Or the psilocybin to certain mushrooms? Is it toxic to parasitic insects? Of the opium in poppy, the THC in pot, are they adaptive in attracting bees for pollination? Or in attracting plant-eating animals that might spread their seed?

Answer:
We have the same DNA as plants and fungi. We know of symbiosis between plants and fungi. We know little about the real consciousness of plants and other DNA lifeforms. Science has yet to acknowledge that Dark Energy is Prana or Chi flowing through everything! So we could have a shared psychedelic consciousness, flow of prana, with these Divine Plants!
