When frogs and ’shrooms are no longer enough for you, it must be time to graduate to Ichthyoallyeinotoxism via fish.  As will be covered in the journal of Clinical Toxicology:

The effects of eating ichthyoallyeinotoxic fishes, such as certain mullet, goatfish, tangs, damsels and rabbitfish, are believed to be similar to LSD, and may include vivid and terrifying auditory and visual hallucinations. This has given rise to the collective common name for ichthyoallyeinotoxic fishes of “dream fish”.

Pommier and de Haro of the Toxicovigilance Centre Antipoison at Marseille’s Hospital Salvator, who undertook the study, said that the men had both eaten a fish called Sarpa salpa, and subsequently suffered from CNS disturbances including terrifying hallucinations and nightmares.
