The way I see it, we live in various worlds and different realities depending on were we are in our lives at a time and what we inspire to become. I particularly have my both feet too glued to the reality, or so I think sometimes, and I do admire the ones that reach a profound spiritual journey. I live bye the “work hard, play hard” sort of rule, but to be honest I am somewhere in between. Bla, bla, bla, this is something magical, spiritual, mystical, call it whatever you want……rocks my brains.
The hallucinogenic plants are regarded by some in Mexico as the gifts of the Gods as they illuminate you, your self, your fears, your passions. The healing experience can be a life changing experience for many who dare to give into the unknown and the unconscious. Here goes your list:
Badoh Negro: found in Oaxaca, this plant is considered to be one of the most important hallucinogenic used in the magic, religious and healing rituals. It is served as a drink prepared with only a few drops of the seed juice. 
Bakana: this grass is one of the most powerful plants of Mexico, which raises fear among the indigenous as they believe that Bakana can make you go crazy. By consumption of its roots you can travel far far away and reconnect with your predecessors; the visions are said to be colorful ones.
Bakanawa (Hikuli): a type of Peyote used by the shamans for its powerful medical purposes, this plant is deeply respected by the indigenous population. The hear of the cactus (also called the earth flower)is consumed fresh or dry. One doses is about 8-12 hearts. This plant has high potential for further scientific studies due to the promising effects produced so far.
Cawe (Wichowaka): Wichowaka means craziness although this cactus is used mostly for medical purposes. Cawe is consumed as a hallucinogenic drink prepared from the juice of its meat. It causes vertigo and visions.
Cebolleta: The rumors are that this beautiful orquidea is used by the indigenous as a hallucinogenic but we don’t know how exactly it is prepared.
El nene: originated in the Philipines, it gained popularity in the south of Mexico. El nene is considered to be a plant full of answers and it is used for the magic and religious purposes. You can either chew on the fresh leaves or mix the leaves into a paste and mix with water to have a drink.
Frijol de Mescal: Frijos de mescal has been used by the sides of Rio Bravo since 9000 years and in the north of Mexico the indigenous perform a special dance in order to bring visions while consuming the frijol.
Gi-i-Wa: These mushrooms are popular in the state of Oaxaca and are not related to any religious ceremony. The mushrooms are consumed to provoke sound hallucination. Apparently they make a person who comes close to you to cause a sickness to become un-noticed.Hikuli mulato: Fake peyote. Consumed the same way as peyote creates clear visions and communication with the Gods.
Toloache: It was used by the Aztecs as a medical plant and a hallucinogenic plant. It was prepared as a corn drink and the whole plant was used including seeds, stem, and leafs.
