Thank you for the elaboration... I've been trying to research possible historical uses of venom (BCE) as either an entheogen or as a curative (Asklepios, Ningishzida, Nechushtan, etc. as healing serpent deities) and still think that a crude but moderately effective use may have existed. I don't however doubt your word about the studies and would actually love to come and peruse your library if I were not on the West Coast. Would you be so kind as to post the Journal specifics so I can do the interlibrary loan thing? Thanks again.
