Hey! I know astrologers like to assign all things to the planets according to their qualities.
Herbs, flowers, and also brain active substances are ideal candidates.
If you don't like astrology, please skip this thread.
I hope we can collect some ideas in this thread, and I'll start with my own ones.
Recently, I have been pondering on the correct assignments especially of psychedelics, it all didn't make sense until i got the great idea that psychedelics are never a single planet but actually provide a link between two planets (which describes their potency) .. more precisely, a link from neptune to one of the faster planets.
Why Neptune ? With psychedelics you tap into cosmic-oceanic consciousness, making it more concrete and accessible for you. The 2nd planet describes the mode in which this happens.
Psilocybine Mushrooms : Neptune - Moon
(you can shift realms and reside in them like on a platform. The experience is driven by your energy state and thoughts just follow. Shrooms also bear the moon signature: they like the wet, fast to grow, and fast to fade.)
LSD : Neptune - Mercury
(mercury is pretty versatile, and since it's rather easy to shift focus on LSD it contains the possiblity of many other drugs in one way or the other)
2C - Family : Neptune - Mars
(it's this shattering and pushy experience i had on 2C-B which made me think of mars.)
Mescaline : Neptune - Sun
(I have not tried M. yet, but the reports are all about heat and lucidity. Cactus also bears the sun signature: they grow in the heat, adstringent taste, rays+stings)
Other groups of brain-active chemicals, require a different category.
E.g. coffee perhaps Mars-Mercury.
MDMA perhaps Uranus-Moon but i'm not sure, that's subject to update.
There's a chance Opiates, especially unaltered ones like morphine, might be pure Neptune, similar to poppy itself.
But i haven't got much experience here.
Anyone knows about Dissociatives, MDMA, Stimulants ?

I don't know about placing each individual drug into its own house or assigning them to planets but I can say that drugs as a category are ruled by Neptune or the 12th house of the unconscious and spirituality.

I definitely agree with shrooms = moon, try taking them on the full moon closest to the solstice/equinox, near water, and you'll know what I mean, the energy is FANTASTIC, especially the harvest/fertility vibe to it, if you want to make a baby, that would be the way to go! Haven't really explored astrology in terms of planetary alignments, although I would expect cocaine/amphetamines would go with mars, MDMA with venus? I don't get as much of a feminine vibe off of MDMA, it seems androgynous, but venus is love...

I agree that mushrooms have the Neptune-Moon energy, but also find that they have a Pluto energy too. The whole death-rebirth energy that all fungus taps into.
Great thread! I've been studying astrology for years and never seen anyone classify the planetary energies to specific drugs.
1 Karma for you aredhel!

Venus (love), Saturn (the one who destroys to rebuild) and Pluto (the transformer) are missing.
