Witches Broomsticks for "Riding"

Broomstick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

I'm reading The Botany of Desire and there is a chapter on marijuana. There is mention of other halucinagenics and witches "riding brooms" came up. Here is the wikepedia explanation. It looks like they were into drugged up dildos.

"In such accounts, a woman applied a layer of paste made out of trance-inducing plants (such as belladonna) to the broomstick and straddled it as one would a beast of burden to ride it, and this had the effect of applying the hallucinogenic herb to the thin skin of the labia where it might be quickly absorbed into the bloodstream."
