What entheogens are good for full shade, or alternatively for part-shade (specifically a couple hours sunlight in the evening on my back patio)?
Thank you.

P viridis loves the shade. Caapi and kratom can tollerate some shade but prefer sun particularly when they get bigger.
How about the ole standby Morning Glory vine???
Morning Glories seem to prefer a fair amount of sun-light during the course of the day.
It depends upon how shady you are talking....
But if you cannot find a good entheo-plant,
you could find a nice native shade loving plant that would likely require less care and naturalize itself to the area.

/me wonders why IOPan never posts in here.
IOPan does not post much at all. I'm not sure the last time he was seen.
As i recall, deadly nightshade also prefers shade, although i won`t be growing that one as i share my patio with neighbours, so there may be pets or kids around..
Ginseng also is a shade plant, and i actually have some seeds at home..
well, it looks as though i wasn't completely right about belladonna loving full-shade..the following excerpt from the classic guide "Growing the Hallucinogens" says it just prefers to be shaded by other plants:
"Cultivation and Propagation: Belladonna is hardy throughout the U.S., dying back in winter and rising from the root in spring. It prefers a well-drained, well-limed soil in full sun or part shade. The soil should be kept moist at all times. Plants exposed to too much sun will be stunted. In hot sunny areas it may be grown between rows of beans to shade it."

so far i could add HEIMIA SALICIFOLIA to the list of plants for shade..
Coleus, also, will do well in semi-shaded areas. However, they are not frost tolerant. As an entheogen Coleus is rather week, but the leaves and flowers are quite colorful.
Mosses do well in shade, but are non psychoactive,
unless you're a mad scientist and can make THC with the half molecule found in club moss and assemble the other half somehow ? I read about it from Shulgin or something... =)

Brugmansia would do well I would think...
and sassafras.
