Bold words help you remember important parts, they're like labels for things that do special jobs in the story.

Imagine eating a whole bag of really spicy candy all at once. That's kind of what some medieval drugs were like. People would take drugs made from plants, and their brains would get confused, making them feel weird or even like they were flying.

One drug was made from moldy bread, it tasted yucky, but it could make people see colors that weren't there or think they were talking to ghosts. Another used butterflies and bees, which sounds silly, but it actually helped some people feel better when they were sad or tired.

People in the Middle Ages didn’t know about science, they just knew these drugs made them trip hard, like going on a fun roller coaster ride inside their heads. Some used them to see visions during important events, and others took them to feel stronger or even crazy happy.

It’s like taking a big bite of something super special, except this was for the whole brain!
