Every book in the OP I've seen at my public library, and every library I've been to has books on the subjects of cannabis, psychedelics, mushrooms, etc...
I spent over 6 months at my public library several days a week, researching psychedelics & psychoactive plants, before I took the leap. Learning as much as I could about what I was about to put into my body, not so much the experience itself but about the pharmacology & some of the history.
I was stoked when I came across "The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants" at my library...I spent hours with my head buried in it, completely new to psychoactives (of all sorts), with a naive mind yet driven by deep curiosity. I was amazed at how many plants were psychoactive. And ultimately, it was this book/encyclopedia that cracked things open for me ....

Nice post. It indeed is a remarkable book.

I love the library. All that knowledge... All that power... Just waiting to be discovered, leveraged and then deployed on a wide scale.
Sounds like the Decepticons... Got a bit away from me...

It's pretty big and thick, chock full information on every psychoactive plant/cacti/fungi imaginable...and some. I would love to have my very own copy some day. It's a staple, up there with Pihkal.
