Certainly it is a conclusion of one researcher, Eva Hopman. In her paper she presents many examples of paleolithic art from around the world that could have been drawn by hunter-gatherers under influence of psychedelic drugs. It is known, from neurological experiments and visions of contemporary drug users, that altered mind creates visions rich with certain shapes and movements. Such psychedelic elements were identified by Eva Hopman in cave art.

It is hard to present firm proof of her claim without blood sample of cavemen. However, evidence is compelling, plus simple observation of existing hunter gatherer lifestyle can confirm her suspicion. For example a very isolated Amazon tribe, among many, uses psychedelic substances on daily bases, yes daily. It is good for chanting, getting close to ancestors, chasing away bad spirits from sick people, and feeling good and one with universe in general.
It is good documentary to watch it all with enjoyment, but if time is at essence, check min 18, 20 and 44

Another tribe: Check min 11.

It is possible that our modern world drug problem is not a modern liberal, spoiled, decadent, sinful and devilish invention, but the reflex or genetic memory of our ancestral past. Are we descendents of drug addicts, lol?
