Shaman plant tobacco 1

The "non-smoker" and tobacco enthusiast Christian Rätsch has compiled a wealth of knowledge about this stigmatized plant in the present book, which cannot be found in other conventional tobacco books. It discusses the traditional use, particularly in indigenous cultures, the various little-known tobacco species, their applications, and their effects in combination with numerous other psychoactive plants, mushrooms, and frogs. It is precisely this information that makes this richly illustrated work, presented in black and white and organized clearly, a valuable addition not only to any shaman's library. Engaging with the shamanic use of these now widely consumed legal drugs can provide us with new perspectives on a future meaningful and respectful approach to them.
