In Crowley's "777" Column XLIII there is a correspondences of Sephiroth to Vegetable Drugs. When following the Crowley's system, this way one can atribute the said drugs to any god on wishes:
Column XLIII: Vegetable Drugs
i. Elixir Vitae — the attribution to Kether is due to its omniform
virtue.
2. Cocaine pertains to Chokmah by its direct action on the deepest
nervous centres.
3. Soma is said to give understanding and was sacred to the highest
form of the Moon. Belladonna is here because of its virtue to dilate the
pupil, thus producing a Black Sea; but this attribution seems a little
fantastic.
4. Opium — its virtue is to relieve pain and to confer philosophic
calm.
5. Nux Vomica, Nettle, and Cocaine are given here for their power
of excitation in one way or another. The attribution of the last named is
doubtful as its apparent stimulating function is really due to its function
as a local anaesthetic. Atropine is given here on account of its power to
balance the influence of Morphia.
6. These drugs are all direct cardiac stimulants. Alcohol in
particular pertains to Bacchus. Further, it is an omniform menstruum
for the Astral Light.
7-8. Cannabis Indica and Anhalonium Lewinii appear to act on both
these Sephiroth. Their action is very similar. They produce in one
mood voluptuous visions which pertain to Venus, and in another confer
the power of self-analysis, which is Mercurial.
9. This attribution refers to its alleged aphrodisiac action.
10. Corn is the typical stimulant of the Nephesch as such.
