The world's most renowned authorities on the botany and chemistry of hallucinogens have produced an exhaustive study of psychoactive flora. The properties of the plants and the use made of them by man are examined and detailed by botanist Richard Evans Schultes and chemist Albert Hofmann. Their text is accompanied by many illustrations, over a hundred of which are in color.
