Consumption of hallucinogenic plants is rising. Salvia divinorum produces rapid, short-lived dissociative and hallucinogenic effects via kappa receptor agonism. Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) has stimulant effects at low doses and sedative, opiate-like effects at high doses; several deaths have been linked to its use. Hallucinogenic mushrooms, especially psilocybes containing tryptamines similar to LSD, are increasingly offered online. Peyote, a cactus with mescaline, causes multisensory hallucinations and is used in Native American religious ceremonies. Daturas induce anticholinergic delirium and hallucinations due to atropine and scopolamine. Other psychoactive plants include ayahuasca, Ololiuqui, Morning Glory, Hawaiian Baby Woodrose, Syrian Rue, and Iboga Rootbark.
