Psychedelic experience sources of some psychedelic drugs such as ayahuasca and mescaline-containing cacti are sometimes referred to as "plant teachers". Similarly, in a follow-up to the psilocybin and mysticism study at Johns Hopkins, researchers observed that psilocybin: "occasions personally and spiritually significant mystical experiences that predict long-term changes in behaviors, attitudes and values". Psychedelic experience includes the full range of mystical or religious experiential phenomena.

Sodium fluoroacetate brand name. The salt is synthesized by treating sodium chloroacetate with potassium fluoride. Potassium fluoroacetate (as opposed to the commercially manufactured sodium salt) occurs naturally in at least 40 plant species in Australia, Brazil, and Africa. It was first identified in "Dichapetalum cymosum", commonly known as gifblaar (Afrikaans) or poison leaf, by Marais in 1944. As early as 1904, colonists in Sierra Leone used extracts of "Chailletia toxicaria", which also contains fluoroacetic acid or its salts, to poison rats. Several native Australian plant genera contain the toxin, including "Gastrolobium", "Gompholobium", "Oxylobium", "Nemcia", and "Acacia". "Gastrolobium" is a genus of flowering
