A 2008 Australian National Broadcaster podcast about the indigenous sacred sites from where the management of dreams associated with any psycho-active got managed prior to the 1890s, when as indicated in the podcast, the site became closed. Many n indigenous Australians think the closure lead to every prohibition of various psychoactives worldwide. There is an associated Dreaming story, named “First Man In The Southern Cross”, which provides for some safe boundaries around therapeytic use. I will put the story in a comment beneath. https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/hindsight/along-the-pituri-trail/3259026?utm_content=link&utm_medium=content_shared

Two men and one woman are walking along a dry riverbed. It is at the time when deserts formed after sandstorms, and many insects came, and plants and animals suffered. The three himan beings are near starvation. Then the woman said she had a dream that in a far away place where her spirit is stuck, (at Xanadu, the scene in her dreams is like in the Cooleridge poem), they eat dead animals by first cooking in fire to prevent disease. The men said “no”, and the three kept walking. But the woman couldn’t stop thinking about eating meat. Eventually she said she had to stop and make a fire. The first man said he could not live by the death of another living being, and he kept walking. But the second man stayed by her side and they ate together. After they ate they wanted to chase their friend and feed meat to himself also. But he had walked further along, and crossed over to the other side of the river, and then the river bed had filled with water. The man and woman following him were losing his tracks, and although happy to find water, sad they could not see their friend. But then they saw him across the water. He had found an Agarwood tree approaching the end of its life, with an aromatic hollow in it, and he had curled up in the hollow and gone to sleep. The spirit of the tree left the tree and got into the man, and two cocktails landed in the branches of the passing away tree, telling the man that birds are who can bring trees back to life. Then the man, the tree, and the cockatoos, all arose into the sky, and the man and tree literally turned into the Southern Cross constellation, while the cockatoos became the two pointer stars pointing us all in the correct direction.
