Hallucinogen Honey Hunters / by Richard

A tribe of Nepal hunt a wild honey with natural psychoactive properties ("mad honey")
they use it as a medicine and a soft drug. The mad honey or bitter honey is a local name for a particular type of honey used in alternative medicine to treat gastric pain, bowel disorders, and hypertension, and as a sexual stimulant.

Mad honey intoxication is a mild form of intoxication that includes dizziness, fatigue, excessive perspiration, hyperventilation, nausea, vomiting, and paresthesia where close monitoring is adequate. However, severe intoxication may lead to life-threatening cardiac complications.

You can also find mad honey near the Black Sea coastal region of Turkey, and in Japan, Nepal, Brazil. The history of mad honey intoxication is quite old. Xenophon (B.C. 434–354) mentions a disease causing delirium, vomiting, and diarrhea during their stay at the coast of the Black Sea with the Greek Army during their flight from the Persians.
