Psychedelic Encyclopedia

Dit boek is alleen in het Engels verkrijgbaar.

Peter Stafford's encyclopedia is not a dull enumeration of psychoactive substances but a travelguide which every psychonaut should carry in his luggage. It draws from scientific research, personal accounts and popular literature to document the properties attributed to psychedelic substances, their preparation and use, and shifting social attitudes toward them over the past half-century.

This is a remarkable sourcebook for anyone interested in the psychological, biological, physiological and cultural aspects of psychedelic drugs. A fascinating historical reference on psychedelica, from the LSD-25 of the sixties, to the memory and cognitive enhancers of today. Includes over 200 illustrations.

The encyclopedia describes among other things:

the LSD family

marijuana & relatives

peyote, mescaline and san pedro

psychoactive mushrooms

the MDA cluster

yage & harmaline

ibogaine

short-acting tryptamins like DMT, DET and DPT

smartdrugs / nootropics

other psychoactive substances

“This book is very informative. It covers psychedelics I've never heard of. Truly an A to Z encyclopedia. It's been around since the 70's not sure if it's been updated since then.”
