Just found out about a new book by the co-author of Plants of the Gods. Its Called The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants by Christian Ratsch. I haven't had an opportunity to look at the book as of yet and at $125 it seems like a pretty hefty price tag for a book. However considering the lack of quality scientific and scholarly information on psychoactive plants this book may be worth the money. At over 900 pages it lists every known plant that contains psychoactive chemicals. The first half of the book is a listing of over 700 pages worth of data on these plants. The second part is on the chemistry and cultural uses of said plants. I am hoping to get a copy of this book sometime in the near future, when I do I will be posting an extended review.
