When humans began the transition to agriculture around 12,000 years ago, they did so by cultivating large quantities of grains.
It also details the first potential confirmation of LSD beer, discovered at an outpost of Greek culture in Spain. 3 It involves the Ancient Greeks, early Christians, and likely the very first humans to figure out agriculture. In his recently published book, The Immortality Key: The Secret History of the Religion with No Name, Muraresku details his own fascinating journey unpacking this tale. They call it “LSD beer.”Īfter a twelve-year quest, Brian Muraresku may have found the first evidence that supports the hypothesis that the Eleusian Mysteries were basically acid trips. 2 Brewers (or at least maltsters) are constantly on the lookout for the dark purple grains that can kill us, too, or at least make us hallucinate. Modern farmers actually have ergot maximums to meet purity standards. They’re meant for the metabolism of whatever other organism is trying to eat the ergot, and thus prevent it from spreading its genes.Įrgot is inevitable when dealing with large quantities of grain.
They’re secondary because they’re not meant for the ergot organism’s own metabolism. As a survival mechanism, ergot produces around eighty “secondary” metabolites called alkaloids. 1Įrgot is what Hofmannn synthesized LSD from, back in 1938. Then in 1978, a man named Carl Ruck, along with Albert Hofmann (the chemist who first synthesized LSD) and Gordon Wasson (the businessman who popularized Mesoamerican psychedelic mushroom culture), proposed that maybe the beverage was beer made from grains infected with ergot. For most of Modern History, nobody knew the contents of the likely hallucinogenic beverage consumed at Eleusis, the home of the mysterious religious rites of Ancient Greece.
