Review # 1 was written on 2013-01-27 00:00:00 Erom Fonz A fascinating collection of essays and scientific articles on the use of psychedelic substances. My favorite was the quasi-anthropological one describing how European peoples can be differentiated by their attitude to mushrooms (mushrooms in general, not necessarily psychoactive ones). Apparently some of us love mushrooms, regarding them as mysterious and vital, while others only associate them with decay and disgust. I loved the details regarding how Russian people call even the poisonous and 'useless' mushrooms 'paganski' (little pagans) and use them for decorating the table and so on, or about how the Spanish conquistadores had a culture clash with South American natives about mushrooms (spoiler alert: the Spaniards were appalled by the natives' ceremonial use of the so-called 'flesh of the gods' mushrooms). Some of the other essays in the collection were not so great or at least seemed scientifically dubious to me. But all in all, it's a great exploration of the science of psychoactive substances and their potential for both treatment and... just change.
