I'd wondered that myself linkadge. I assume endogenous psychedelic compounds like DMT might be slightly activated by a powerful MAOI.
I have an Amanita Pantherina mushroom in my cupboard but I'm wary of using it. One of the active ingredients, muscimol, is a GABA-A agonist similar to zolpidem (Ambien) which can induce lucid dream-like hallucinations too (I've had them myself featuring elves).
