This book is an update of its 1979 version so that more recent research into the properties of hallucinogenic plants could be included. This is a comprehensive presentation of various topics related to these plants-- how long people have used them; how, where and why they used them; photographs of the plants; the names they go by; their context and purpose and their chemical components and effects. It is an excellent reference book.

A gorgeously illustrated and illuminating volume that dives deeply into ethnobotany, the contemporary relevance of plants that heal and provoke enhance consciousness, and the ways shamans deploy them. Mark Plotkin’s podcasts and books are a great compliment to this masterpiece by et al.

A botanist friend of mine had this book. Once I skimmed through it, I knew I had to own it. Plants of the Gods serves as a great, in-depth reference for off-the-beaten-path plants, herbs and their history. A lot of Shaman, spiritualistic and ancient uses for these plants are described, as well. Lots of color photos. Simply a beautiful, intelligent and knowledgable read.
really informative and relavant...

Absolutely, by far, the best book out there about hallucinogens. Of course, if you're not interested in reading about God's Plants that he gave to mankind - then, you'll probably not like it...
