• Excellent source of information on plant hallucinogens
  This book is a very extensive source of information about plant hallucinogens. It gives historical backgrounds on the plants used as hallucinogens.

There is also information about how the plants are used as ethnobotanicals. I would suggest obtaining this book to anyone interested in ethnobotanicals.

• Excellent book worth seeking out.
  This book is an excellent source of information on the chemistry behind ethnobotanicals. It covers a vast amount of material and the lenghty reference section is worth the trouble of locating this book.
