Hi, I found this tree in the state of Andra Pradesh in India (South Asia). Some people have reported people having Mystical experiences around this tree. I found a Dita tree near to this also. Is it possible for a tree to breathe out Psychoactive chemicals so people staying near to it get affected? hector77 attached the following image(s):  17690574_1320559481359885_178902722_n.jpg (50kb) downloaded 151 time(s). 17758163_1320559514693215_1265427884_n.jpg (29kb) downloaded 150 time(s). 17793309_1320559404693226_1074823505_n.jpg (32kb) downloaded 150 time(s).

My best guess is the tree that produces kratom. But that's probably not right. Looks similar though. "If you're going to walk on thin ice, you might as well dance''

Are those the seeds in the second image? Can you get less shaky pictures? Looks like some kind of brugmansia to me

Leaves look completely wrong for Brugmansia. Pictures of flowers (sharp pictures  ) would also help. “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

Is this story centered around this one particular specimen? What is the context of the stories? Just from the wording of the OP, it sounds like perhaps we're dealing with some kind of local lore of a spiritual nature. Do the stories align with the local religion? Def not a botanist, I can't ID it, sorry. Does it have any fragrance? Perhaps the lore (if any) has to do with a 'magical' scent? Maybe the tree is home to some kind of wood nymph that smoalks in the branches, and if someone wanders under it while she exhales a big toke...  okay, I'll stop.

not brugs.
but yes, many trees, exude oils and what not, that's fairly common.
but then, that's not the only possible cause for mystical experiences...
