Ethnobotanical properties

I am not planning on using cp's to get high, i use life to get high.

I was just wondering, are there any ethnogenic properties of carnivorous plants?
 
I have heard that nep nectar is a mild hallucinogenic. Don't know if it's true, but I have seen ants get quite drunk before they fall in.
 
Sure there are, i look at my little hamata, and it transfixes me.  All other mental functions cease.  I barely breath, concentrating on the plant.  Time passes imperceptibly to my comatose being...

There!  It grew!  

Life returns to my body, and i am freed from the wiles of the dangerous narcotic that is CPs. For the moment...

What are you asking? Ethnogeny isn't at all relevant to CP's. I think Pinguiculas used to be (and maybe still are) used to curdle milk, hence the name. There is an English gentleman, whose name I forget, who makes various tinctures/decoctions etc. from Drosera and swears by their use in the treatment of various ailments.

D. Muscipula, I bet if you plants could read your post and talk they'd say, Ahhhhh you're so terribly sweet.
