The most comprehensive guide to the botany, history, distribution, and cultivation of all known psychoactive plants - Examines 414 psychoactive plants and related substances - Explores how using psychoactive plants in a culturally sanctioned context can produce important insights into the nature of reality - Contains 797 color photographs and 645 black-and-white illustrations In the traditions of every culture, plants have been highly valued for their nourishing, healing, and transformative properties. The most powerful plants--those known to transport the human mind into other dimensions of consciousness--have traditionally been regarded as sacred. In The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants Christian R tsch details the botany, history, distribution, cultivation, and preparation and dosage of more than 400 psychoactive plants. He discusses their ritual and medicinal usage, cultural artifacts made from these plants, and works of art that either represent or have been inspired by them. The author begins with 168 of the most well-known psychoactives--such as cannabis, datura, and papaver--then presents 133 lesser known substances as well as additional plants known as "legal highs," plants known only from mythological contexts and literature, and plant products that include substances such as ayahuasca, incense, and soma. The text is lavishly illustrated with 797 color photographs--many of which are from the author's extensive fieldwork around the world--showing the people, ceremonies, and art related to the ritual use of the world's sacred psychoactives.Binding Type: Hardcover

Defective Item
Color: Black, Color: Black
The door broke off immediately out of the package and the screws are stripped so they can’t be tightened into place. I might superglue it because I don’t want to go through the hassle of returning it and it’s the only way they’d offer even a partial refund for a defective product when I asked.

Perfect jewelry organizer
Size: Large, Color: Grey, Size: Large, Color: Grey
This jewelry box is excellent and very convenient. It is made of sturdy material, which ensures its durability. It is very useful for storing all kinds of jewelry. It features space for 4 watches, at least 8 necklaces or bracelets, ample room for rings, and—one of the things I liked most—you can store your earrings without worrying about them falling out. The clasp is also very good.

Clean, classic jewelry box
Size: Large, Color: Apricot
This is the perfect size to go on my dresser. I used to have a tall jewelry chest that really just collected a bunch of things that I didn't really need. I wanted to downsize and just keep the pieces that are special to me and those that I wear often. This is a beautiful, simple box with enough storage for what I need. It has a clean, classic look and is built to last. There is a lock on the front, however, I have not used it so I can't speak to that. Overall, a great value and great piece to store jewelry.
