My priors are that ancient people were scholars of the effects of every plant in their environment, that intoxication was valuable to them, and that a major force behind the development of language was to share such survival knowledge. So if you assert that it's a myth that they knew a particular shroom could make them high, or that knowing that they would ignore it, the burden of proof is on you.
