guy 156 Report post Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) Quote Analysis of hair from 22 mummies found in southern Peru has revealed the earliest known use of San Pedro cactus, a source of mescaline, and the psychoactive plants that make up the drug ayahuasca. The plants are not native to the region and were probably transported across the Andes Mountains. Researchers found that the drugs of choice changed over time. Ayahuasca and mescaline became less favored and coca consumption became more common after the Wari Empire conquered the Nazca around A.D. 750. https://www.archaeology.org/issues/503-2303/digs/11212-digs-peru-nazca-ayahuasca https://www.google.com/amp/s/phys.org/news/2022-11-evidence-psychoactive-nazca-people-peru.amp This ayahuasca use by the Nazca predated it’s later use by the Incas many centuries later: Edited February 14, 2023 by guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
