I can't think of anything important or deep to add
It is thought that plants produce some compounds to protect themselves against predation, some of these compounds happen to attract us, instead of detering us from eating them, psychoactives being an obvious example.
Under stressful circumstances (predation for example) plants ramp up their production of defensive chemicals. If you want to learn more, watch this:

If psychedelic compounds are the defensive chemicals against predation of plants, then perhaps we can simulate controlled predation (pruning for example) or what came to my mind was: "UV light is not only damaging to humans, but to plants also." Could exposure of the plants for few hours of UV-B light everyday act as a mild stressor, which hopefully would cause a spike in the production/content of Salvinorin-A in Salvia for example, or any other plant for that matter.
(That's how it works for cannabis and it has been proven effective to my knowledge)
Low production scale, hobbyst cannabis growers sometimes use UV-B and to a lesser extent UV-A light to increase cannabinoids content (increase in potency, higher amounts of THC, CBD, CBN etc.)
Any thoughts on my thoughts? :lol:
