Understanding the chemical language of the natural pharmacopeia: Whose hallucinogen is it anyway?

J Biosci. 2023:48:29.

Abstract

Humans communicate aggression through words, gestures, guns, bombs, and missiles. Guns, bombs, and missiles are left out of expressions of affection, unless they are meant to impress a loved one or affirm a beloved ideology. Many organisms other than humans use gestures although they may not have words, and the vast majority of organisms also use the language of chemistry in offence and defence.
