yet another gem
This is a fine contribution although 'The Continuation' might lead one to believe that both Pihkal and Tihkal are of the same sphere. I suppose they are, if one isn't well-read regarding the metabolism and synthesis of these two very different families of compounds. As a synthetic organic chemist, I appreciated not only the autobiographical sketch but also the synthesis/observation section. Some ...

The Flight from Intimacy: Healing Your Relationship of Counter-dependence - The Other Side of Co-dependency

Janae B. Weinhold, Barry K. Weinhold

New World Library, 2008

The Flight from Intimacy
In Breaking Free of the Co-dependency Trap, the authors looked to the true causes of co-dependency. They stated that 98% of the human population is co-dependent and that this reflected stilted emotional development caused by unmet needs in the first six months of life. Essentially, psychological development is halted at this point so that the individual can find what he or she needs to resolve ...

This Is Cannabis (Addiction Series)
Nick Brownlee

Without preaching about the benefits or drawbacks of marijuana, This Is Cannibis provides straightforward facts about its 4,700 years of cultivation for fiber, food, and medicine; the current debate as to its therapeutic potential; the vast underground commercial success it enjoys; and the uneven laws surrounding its sale, possession, and use. While textbook-like in the breadth of information, the writing has the readable pace of good journalism ...

entertaining collection of stories--but still no Pot Stories
This is Krassner's third collection of drug stories, to go along with his collection of marijuana stories (Pot Stories for the Soul) and LSD stories (Psychedelic Trips for the Mind). This is a good collection of tales about experiences with magic mushrooms, ecstasy, peyote, mescaline, THC, opium, cocaine, ayahuasca, belladonna, ketamine, PCP, STP, "toad slime," and others. The chapters on magic ...

The Mystique of Opium

Jean-Francois Hubert, Donald Wigal

Parkstone Press, 2004

Inhale This Book with Your Eyes -- It Does Great Stuff
What a delight THE MYSTIQUE OF OPIUM is! It introduces us to startling new perspectives on opium, as when Nick Tosches states that "When God put His mouth at the nostrils of Adam, there was probably opium on his breath." It tempers its subject by keeping the narrative on two tracks: opium and its blissful appeal, opium and its destructive effects. There's a punning wit to the titles ("Poppy ...

Very Helpful!
I work for Asia Galleries in San Francisco where we sell a lot of Antique Opium Artifacts. This book is one of books we use to identify our dampers, pipes, lams, and scrapers. This book is really helpful.

Alexander Shulgin, Ann Shulgin

Transform Press, 1991

Highly analytical, relevant and a record of reality......
I purchased PIHKAL from Amazon and read it in it's entirety. The most poignant aspect of this book reveals that as we are organic machines, our consciousness is just another chemically induced perception and therefore only one valid reality predisposed by evolution for survival. Shulgin's Genius is honed with such objectivity, innocence, dedication and clarity that he is able to both ...

White Mischief: A Cultural History of Cocaine

Tim Madge

Running Press, 2004

A nice read, but biased toward prococaine
O.K., this book is listed as being a "comprehensive history" of cocaine, however, the author neglects a lot of the negative events which led to cocaine's becoming a prohibited substance. In particular, the fact that drinkers of cola beverages containing cocaine had higher mortality rates and paid higher insurance premiums because of that mortality rate. Instead, Mr. Madge cites the myth of the ...

How to Control from A to Z
For the most part, I liked this book very much. Unlike many of the other reviewers, I have never even touched heroin. Therefore, I give great weight to their comments. I was fascinated to finally read a memoir by an addict who could get up every day, go to work, do some errands, etc. But when I read more of the book, I realized that she could do this, because the author's problem is her need ...
