opioids make you hallucinate?

Post by johndela1 »

the page at http://www.13.waisays.com/zombie.htm

says this:
"Because wheat contains opioid peptides, priests in ancient Egypt used wheat to hallucinate, and in bandages, to ease the pain of a wound. "


from what I know opiates don't usually cause hallucinations, but rather euphoria. How much wheat would one need to eat to hallucinate?

This is correct, opiates does not typically cause hallucination.

I think maybe this is what Wai/RRM is thinking of:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergot
The Rye Ergot is a fungi that grows on rye (and possibly other grains, like wheat, I dont know) and it produces ergot alkaloids which are related to the famous tryptamin LSD - acid. This can indeed cause hallucinations.
