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:
