VISIONARY PLANTS / ENTHEOGENS"A compilation of scientific
information, historical lore, and experiential reports about the
magical psilocybe mushrooms. . . . It is sure to be treasured for
years to come." ANDREW WEIL, M.D., author of The Natural Mind: A
New Way of Looking at Drugs and the Higher Consciousness and
Spontaneous Healing "An outstanding comprehensive gathering of
vital information from the psychedelic world." MYRON STOLAROFF,
author of The Secret Chief and From Thanatos to Eros Teonanacatl
was the name given to the visionary mushrooms used in ancient
Meso-american shamanic ceremonies, mushrooms that contain
psilocybin, the psychoactive agent identified by Swiss chemist
Albert Hofmann, the discoverer of LSD. The rediscovery of these
visionary mushrooms by the Mazatec healer Maria Sabina and
-mycologist R. Gordon Wasson ignited a worldwide mushroom culture
that inspired the consciousness revolution of the 1960s. This book
describes in vivid detail the consciousness-expanding experiences
of psychoactive mushroom users--from artists to psychologists--and
the healing visionary inspiration they received. It provides
firsthand accounts of studies performed in the controversial
Harvard Psilocybin Project, including the Concord Prison study and
the Good Friday study. It describes how the use of the psilocybe
mushroom spread from the mountains of Mexico into North America,
Asia, and Europe by seekers of -consciousness--expanding
experiences. It also details how psilocybin has been used since the
1960s in psychotherapy, prisoner rehabilitation, the enhancement of
creativity, and the induction of mystical experiences and is being
studied as a treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD). In
this book, over thirty contributors share their expertise on the
chemical, biological, cultural, psychological, and experiential
dimensions of psilocybin mushrooms. RALPH METZNER, PH.D., who
studied psychology and psycho-pharmacology at Harvard University,
was part of the Psilocybin -Research Project with Timothy Leary and
Richard Alpert (later Ram Dass). He is the author of Green
Psychology and coauthor of The -Psychedelic Experience. He lives in
Sonoma, California
