Psychoactive plant a few examples of significant psychoactive plants and their effects are shown. For further examples, see List of psychoactive plants. In the plant kingdom (Plantae), almost all psychoactive plants are found within the flowering plants (angiosperms). There are many examples of psychoactive fungi, but fungi are not part of the plant kingdom. Some important plant families containing psychoactive species are listed below. The listed species are examples only, and a family may contain more psychoactive species than listed. The active constituents of the majority of psychoactive plants fall within the alkaloids ("e.g.", nicotine, morphine, cocaine, mescaline, caffeine, ephedrine), a class
