There is said that there are a Indian scorp that have also psyco active venom... but how know, there is no scientific name for that...

A thing that is true, is that Phoenutria sp. have a PDE V inhibitor that can produce priapism ( PDE= phosphodiesterase) PDE Inh.'s produce artery dilatation for example cafeine inhibits PDE III and your brain becomes a little bit high ( artery dilated), so supose what happen in cavernous bodies of male human sex organ whit one coumpound of Phoenutria venom.

Hey Carles, are you talking about the effects of phoneutria venom having erective effects on someone's male genitals?

Although vaso-dilators might have an effect on the brain, is it really what we call ''psychoactive''?

Yes, erective efects, but very potent efect that can cause pain and necrosis if it is too long in time. Viagra is also a PDE I.

I think that vaso-dilatator efect on brain can't be consideret phycoactive, just oxigenant and for that a little bit stimulant...
