The only thing that remotely points to any sort of spirit of a plant effecting you is simply explained by you believing or hearing of the theorized spirit before consuming a strong hallucinogen, why take such a leap on such an expected outcome that would be so easily explained?
I could understand if this spirit could gave you some kind of confirmanation, some way to point out its existence in reality. I wish people would think about things a little more, i believe its this exact type of things which makes many paranormal things believable to many people even when they have been pretty much proved false. Its really sad, sure i'm not saying theres not truth to any of it(Ghosts are still interesting to me), but it makes it harder to go on someones word when there are so many examples of how very illogical people can think. I believe some even have the balls to make up what they believe based off of nothing but possibilities of an uneducated mind. I don't have the best education myself, i imagine worse than anyone on this site, but my interest in these things fueled me to learn more about physics to see if they could be real, the more i learn the more it seems most people who say they know its real are just full of shit and explaining what they think, but say it as if they know it. I'm starting to see why paranormal isn't stuidied much, its because of the so many bullshit claims people seem to just make up in there heads, or overlook certain factors.
I'm pretty much narrowed down to ghosts, they seem to be the only thing thats not basesd souly off of word of mouth, they atleast get evidence and data.
O yea.... Of course i know to respect it as a drug, as in no abuse as well as respecting ones self, others and the world around me, even space if i ever make it that far, i was speaking directly to the way people speak as the plant is connected to a spirit/god that grants them good trips, or harms you if you extract its chemicals rather than eating a pile of nasty shit, or drinking nasty tea.
