Abstract

The use of innovative and unconventional psychoactive substances by people has always surprised mankind and psycho- active fauna as a substance of abuse representing one such strange and dangerous practice. Psychoactive fauna refers to the group of animals whose body parts or excretions contain one or more substances which, in a sufficiently high dose, have the potential to alter the user’s state of consciousness. With this case report of abuse of lizard tail by a cannabis dependent prisoner, we aim to sensitize the community toward fast growing and not so uncommon problem of abuse of psychoactive fauna.
