Along with atropine and scopolamine, which induce hallucinations, scientists found ephedrine, which boosts energy and alertness.

Researchers also noted that containers were found in the cave with spiral motifs carved on the lids. Some scholars, the report said, have considered this to represent a person's "altered states of consciousness" while under the influence of hallucinogens."
