I'm probably totally off the mark here but has anyone come across mention the use of extraordinary substances by the early Christian church like menstrual blood? Mad?

Use? Mostly sexism.

Religion and Menstruation

For example, slapping your daughter at her first menstruation. (in Jewish tradition)

Natural History (Book 7, chapter 13) states,

"On the approach of a woman in this state [i.e., menses], wine will become sour, seeds which are touched by her will become sterile, grafts wither away, garden plants are parched up and the fruit will fall from the tree beneath which she sits."

Powerful stuff!!

No, this was a concoction taken to get high. The blood was only one ingredient of many taken by the inner circle.

Jews are not permitted

Not permitted, huh? Man, the Jews are always getting screwed over, aren't they.

I think there might have been a few Jews that ate 'shrooms, a fellow named Jesus, even...where was he all those years between age 12 to 30? any way see:
