“The interesting thing about this work is that it documents the consumption [of hallucinogenic plants] in human samples for the first time,” one of the researchers told IFL Science.
Snippets of hair believed to have belonged to Bronze Age shamans on the Spanish island of Menorca were found to have traces of psychoactive alkaloids, offering the first evidence of hallucinogenic drug use in Europe 3,000 years ago.
Many of the bodies had been found with red-dyed hair, and several were buried with locks of colored hair placed inside tubes made from bone or wood. “The interesting thing about this work is that it documents the consumption [of hallucinogenic plants] in human samples for the first time,” Guerra-Doce told IFL Science.
In large doses, the alkaloids found in the hair can cause “extreme mental confusion, strong and realistic hallucinations, disorientation… [and] out-of-body experiences and a feeling of alteration of the skin, as if growing fur or feathers,” according to the study.
