Look into DMT:

	Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a naturally-occurring tryptamine
	and potent psychedelic drug, found not only in many plants, but
	also in trace amounts in the human body where its natural
	function is undetermined.

It appears to be a chemical that regulates consciousness. Its  
subjective effects are more powerful than LSD. The human body can  
produce elevated levels of DMT. Rick Strassman gets into the specifics:
