I would guess the change would be to produce more bufotenin and less stinging, rather than adding bufotenin out of whole cloth.

Still probably more than one change, but theoretically feasible to manually breed a population of hallucinogenic stinging nettles if you're open to being stung a lot for testing.

Oh, I thought that it was qualitatively already a psychedelic sting. But yeah, quantity is key here xD
