drugs and seeing pink elephants.

should this be in chat, or somewhere else? please move if you want.

I have heard that certain drugs have such an effect on you that you can sometimes think you are being chased by pink elephants. If these drugs were around before we discovered elephants (of any colour) what would the people taking them have been chased by.

Pink monsters?

I bet youve never imagined a certain animal, and if you seen that animal under the influence of drugs what would you describe it as?

I do not know what it is but it is pretty. The iridescent colors are really cool. It looks like something kind of futuristic!..

    Until recently - last 300 years or so -  most drug use, except for alcohol, was as an adjunct or prelude to ritualistic and religious activity. In south America, Jaguars, snakes and other animals, In North America bears, eagles - all sorts of totems.

    Other culture and those in the Americas have all sorts of monsters that are reported in the experiences of persons using hallucinogens in religious and shamanic ceremonies.

    I was under the impression seeing pink elephants was always in reference to alcohol and not drugs.. My daughter is a bartender and the pink elephant things are always available to buy in reference to drinking to much alcohol! Like this stuff:
