Henbane, Hyoscyamus niger. but the bright side has always been preferred in
religious ceremonies (and for curing runny noses, for that matter).

<Oh, just heard this story related to northern (e.g. Siberian) peoples using
the muscaridine hallucinogenic power (which is said to
give an impression of "light", i.e. an intense brightness) to better stand
the extended dark seasons in those areas>
Also Tibet and, indeed, most places where the fly agaric grows.  I think it
is the phallic that gets 'em -- plus, of course, the fact that it is easy to
spot and can't readily be mistaken (I am assured) for more deadly relatives
(death angels, death trumpets,...). --part1_b0.12f34cf2.2804e697_boundary--
