Dark Side of the Rainbow (also known as Dark Side of Oz) is a perceived effect created by playing the 1973 Pink Floyd concept album The Dark Side of the Moon simultaneously with the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz and watching for moments where the film and the album appear to correspond with each other. The title of the music video-like experience comes from a combination of the album title The Dark Side of the Moon and the film’s song “Over the Rainbow.”

Pink Floyd band members have repeatedly insisted that the phenomenon is coincidence. In an interview for the 25th anniversary of the album, guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour denied that the album was intentionally written to be synchronized with Oz, saying “Some guy with too much time on his hands had this idea with combining Wizard of Oz with Dark Side of the Moon.” - Wiki

Watch the Sacred Weeds television one hour scientific study documentary investigating a plant, Henbane, also known as Devil’s Weed. A powerful hallucinogenic drug used by witches to create the illusion of flying and the cultural impact of this psychoactive plant and early civilisation and mythos.

Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger) is a plant of the family Solanaceae that originated in Eurasia, though it is now globally distributed.

It was historically used in combination with other plants, such as Mandrake , Deadly Nightshade, and Datura as an anaesthetic potion, as well as for its psychoactive properties in magic brews. Its usage was originally in continental Europe and Asia, though it did spread to England sometime during the Middle Ages. The use of Henbane by the ancient Greeks was documented by Pliny. The plant, recorded as Herba Apollinaris, was used to yield oracles by the priestesses of Apollon.

Henbane can be toxic in low doses. Its name came from Anglo-Saxon hennbana = “killer of hens”. Hyoscyamine, scopolamine, and other tropane alkaloids have been found in the foliage and seeds of the plant.

Common effects of henbane use in humans include hallucinations, dilated pupils, restlessness, and flushed skin. Less common symptoms such as tachycardia, convulsions, vomiting, hypertension, hyperpyrexia and ataxia have all been noted. Despite this it is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Cabbage Moth.

It was traditionally used in German pilsner beers as a flavouring, until the Bavarian Purity Law was passed in 1516 and outlawed the use of Henbane and allowed only the use of hops.

Henbane or Hyoscyamus was also known to have been used as an anesthetic in the first Arab hospitals.

Henbane is the etymology of the Czech town Plzeň and pilsener beer.
