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

Comfortable and well made, but the white color is off
Size: 8, Color: Sand
I've owned the microsuede sand boots for over and year and they're very comfortable. I don't wear them a ton, just for a few hours here and there to church. But after a year they have no scratches or nicks,
they've held up well. I just ordered them in white. They are beautiful boots, but they're not a true white. They're more of an off white. Also - be aware - they are designed with little squares all over them that are hard to see in the pictures - you have to look at them in the 3D view to see them. I liked the pattern and the look of the boots, I just wasn't happy with the color. I'm so disappointed - I returned them.

Surprisingly wide enough
Size: 9, Color: Black
Was surprised that they're wide enough. Usually, shoes that say they're wide, aren't really wide. They're very cute and "hopefully" when I do wear them out, they'll continue to stay comfortable. I ordered both the Coffee Bean and Black, size 9. Usually wear a 9 or 9 1/2, the fit has plenty of room in the toe area with size 9.

Cute but Ouch
Size: 8.5, Color: Sand
Theses shoes are cute and comfortable to walk in *comfortable to the soles of your feet* HOWEVER, there is part of the inside seem on the outer right ankle that scrapes my leg with every step. I tried to see if wearing them down would help, wearing band-aids, putting duct tape on my leg, mole skin - but nothing helps, by the end of the work day I still feel that scraping seem. And I'm not usually sensitive to this kind of thing. I'm way outside my return window, so I'll have to pass them along to someone else with my same shoe size or donate them. Overall they're a good shoe - i just think mine had an issue when the seems were finished
