Hallucinogens were commonly used by the Mayan people.
Back in the time of the ancient Mayans there wasn’t much to speak of in terms of advanced medicine. This led the civilization to lean heavily upon certain drugs such as peyote, alcohol, and specific types of mushrooms. These drugs were used in both rituals as well as in celebration with the occasional bout used for pain killing. You can see how the Mayan people used these drugs by looking through their pottery and other ancient artwork.

The Mayas might have already been using advanced medical techniques for their time, but their dentistry was next level. The men and women would carve jewels and jades into their teeth. Experts believe that these dental additions had nothing to do with class, but rather just a form of decoration.
