Dry whiskey, Divine herb, Devil's root, Medicine of God, Peyote:
for some people, to use it is to hear colors and see sounds. For
many Native Americans, it brings an ability to reach out of their
physical lives, to communicate with the spirits, and to become
complete. For chemists, pharmacologists, and psychiatrists, the
plant is fascinating in its complexity and in the ways its
chemicals work upon the human mind.What is it in peyote that causes
such unusual effects? Can modern medical science learn anything
from Native Americans' use of peyote in curing a wide variety of
ailments? What is the Native American Church, and how do its
members use peyote? Does anyone have the legal right to use drugs
or controlled substances in religious ceremonies?Within this volume
are answers to these and dozens of other questions surrounding the
controversial and remarkable cactus. Greatly expanded and brought
up-to-date from the 1980 edition, these pages describe peyote
ceremonies and the users' experiences, and also cover the many
scientific and legal aspects of using the plant. Well written,
informative, comprehensive, and enlightening, the book will be
welcomed by counselors, anthropologists, historians, physicians,
chemists, lawyers, and observers of the contemporary drug scene, as
well as by interested general readers.
