Natural Hallucinogens in the Brain or Tribal Superstition?

[nikonikad]

i come from Sout-Eastern-Europe (Balkan), There is nearly allways war, sometimes ethnic sometimes tribel war, and i belong to small tribe,



our tribe ( i do not know if other tribes), practice a pagan and very squirmy ritual, if they drunk they often speak proud about it, we call it "osvojene", they speak how they killed the enemy without damaging his head, after that they opened the head with a bayonet an cut a small part in the midel, the killer immediatly eats this part "dusa" allone, or the firs kill he place it in a bottle of "Rakija" an cook it to share with others (no idea the exact recipe)



They speak that they overtake the power of the enemy and go in the world of Ghosts "duhni svjet" for a while, a 6 year older "friend", he often took Mescaline, he told me that the shit is much stronger then mescaline.



Could that be true that a part in the brain is hallucinogen, or is it a placebo effect?
