Did you know that a precursor to LSD was used for religious purposes in Ancient Greece?

The Eleusinian Mysteries were secret religious rites, held annually in Eleusis, a site on the outskirts of Athens, for possibly thousands of years. The exact nature of the ceremonies was never written down—divulging their secrets was punishable by death—but we know they involved initiates consuming kykeon, a drink made from barley.

It has been speculated that ergot, a fungus that grows on barley, was also present in the brew. Ergot contains lysergic acid, a precursor in the synthesis of LSD, and ingesting it is known to cause hallucinations. This could explain the profound, spiritual experiences initiates are said to have undergone.
