Dyr er da ikke istand til at trippe/blive påvirket? det har de da ikke hjerne-kapicitet til?

In fact, birds have been observed to use a lot of compounds to get pleasure: caterpillar secretions, flour larvae, plant juices, mothballs, ashes, tobacco.

Cats are extremely attracted by the valerian plant (Valeriana officinalis) and catnips (Nepeta cataria), whose sniffing and eating seem to provoke them intense satisfaction. Dogs also enjoy catnips, but they have also a more rough attraction: death corpses. They don’t just smell but bowl over death bodies, the contact with the skin and the fur increasing their excitation. The same doggy behavior has been observed in spotted hyenas. A captive coati (a relative of the raccoon) used to slosh its body with a piece of cotton soaked with eau de cologne, after which it dropped over its back dizzy of satisfaction. A domesticated mongoose got the same condition after sloshing itself with chocolate

Lab mice can even get addicted to chewing tobacco. Not to mention that in many cases pet chimps get addicted to human drugs: tobacco, alcohol and others. And they smoke with style, looking at the smoke rings they eject. Some smaller monkeys were seen to enjoy passive smoking and rub their fur with tobacco ashes overloaded by agitation. They also enjoy garlic, which induces them some kind of dizziness.

Hedgehogs enter many times in the wild in a kind of trance after licking themselves with saliva till it gets foamy. In a case, farmers in an Argentina region noticed their cattle lost appetite and the oxen their working capacity. It was proven that the cattle were not infected, but they ingested some alkaloids from certain plants that acted like strong drugs (in fact, nicotine from tobacco, caffeine from coffee or cocaine are just alkaloids).

Once a year, when the marula fruits ripen, animals in Austral Africa enter a generalized drinking bout as this fruit ferments very easy. Researchers described a crazy situation: all animals around marula tree are drunk, from monkeys to elephants.

All these behaviors previously pointed to do not satisfy any primordial impulse: hunger, reproduction, self-defense. These behaviors enter in contradiction with the self-preservation of the individuals.

Det er altså en myte den med katte vs katteurt.
Katteurten indeholder en række duftstoffer som af katten kan forveksles med brunstsignaler. Derfor er planten spændende for dem.
Gider ikke finde kilder, men det er rundt om på nettet. Iøvrigt omhandles det også i en eller anden kedelig dokumentar om katte.

Uses
'Nepeta cataria or "catnip" or "catmint" is mostly used as a toy for feline enjoyment. Around 2 out of every 3 cats will be affected by the plant, and approximately 2 hours after an exposure, the feline will be ready for another dose. Whether it is growing in the wild or harvested and dried, felines boldly show the effects of the plant. The common behaviors that are observed are: rubbing on the plant, rolling on the ground, drooling, or consuming much of the plant. It is said that felines go for the smell of the plant more than anything. Felines have such a strong sense of smell that they can detect the chemical nepetalactone, which is the main active ingrediant in Nepeta cataria. This chemical enters the feline's nose, and produces semi-hallucinogenic effects on the cat.

Effects on animals
As 4aα,7α,7aα-nepetalactone it is the active chemical in Nepeta cataria that causes its characteristic effect on cats. Around 75% of cats are affected; susceptibility is gene-linked. The chemical interacts as a vapour at the olfactory epithelium. The compound only mildly affects humans: it is a weak sedative, antispasmodic, febrifuge, and antibacterial. In high doses it also has an emetic effect. Nepetalactone also has an effect on some insects, repelling the cockroach and mosquito,[1] but it is poisonous to some common flies and a sex pheromone to aphids.

Iøvrigt tripper man ikke hvis man æder DMT holdige planter, gør man? Skal man ikke bruge en MAOI?

According to the researcher Jonathan Ott, 5-MeO-DMT is active orally with doses over 30 mg. without aid of a MAOI.

Mener at have læst man godt kan få effekt uden MAOI. Man skal vidst bare en del højere op i doser.

Fandt dette

Men om det passer skal jeg så ikk' kunne sige.

Hey psy,

Har søgt en del men kunne sku ikke lige komme frem til, hvad er DMT's funktion i vores grønne verden? Går ud fra af det må have en hvis indflydelse på planten siden der er så mange arter der indeholder en form for koncentration af dette tryptamin.
Håber det er det rigtige sted jeg har fået smidt denne tråd

Ahh nej okay, men dyrene kunne vel lige så godt spise 5-MeO-DMT holdige planter som de kunne spise DMT holdige planter.

så vidt jeg har forstået opstår 5-MeO-DMT i giftige frøer, ikke i planter?

Dimitri er det kraftigste psykadelika. Det er som at træde igennem en membran af dødhed .
Et godt råd, gå på toilettet før du bruger din Dimitri... nogle folk skider i bukserne så snart de har exhalleret nogle hiv. musklerne svækkes, nogle gange altså så kraftigt at man kan risikere at skide i bukserne.
