You see Carlos went deep into the jungle and sat around smoking peyote with tribal Indian leaders. In his books he described these "supposed" experiences. Most believe these to be fictitious writings but who knows for sure.  This is where I get the term "little smoke".

Scared Straight....LOL

The term " nagual " has been used by anthropologists to mean a shaman or sorcerer who claims to be able to change into an animal form, or to metaphorically "shift" into another form through magic rituals, shamanism and experiences with psychoactive drugs (e.g., peyote and jimson weed - Datura stramonium ). ^{[ 3 ]}
