tonic Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 The SAB store sells Trout's notes on San Pedro.I think they will send it to the USA for you, although wouldn't it be easier to order a book that is printed and distributed in the USA from the USA? Just a thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teotzlcoatl Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 I've had alot of trouble finding it, for some reason. All the places are out of stock.Which "Trout's notes on San Pedro" do I need to obtain ALL the information, I know there are alot of verisons.Do I need only the latest? Or do I need all of them?Can anybody reccomend any other books on psychoactive cacti? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonic Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) From what I can recall, there are three volumes, all were or are part of one book called Sacred Cacti part 2 I believe. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. I am sure having all of them would be better, depends what you want to get from the books...I have only ever seen this one for sale anyway"Trout's Notes on: San Pedro& related Trichocereus speciesSacred Cacti 3rd Edition, [Part B]"Here is a link to the item in the shop:Trout's Notes -' San Pedro'Am sure there are quite a few reference books available, from what I can gather Trout's Notes are the most comprehensive writings on Trichocereus spp. to date. If I am wrong would love to know as I wouldn't mind a copy of any good Trichocereus spp. or other interesting cacti books that may be available.

Teotzlcoatl Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Well thats sorta confusing...So I guess I need part A- Sacred Cacti AND part B- San Pedro...Because I'm interested in all psychoactive cacti...not just Trichocereus...Anybody got any other book suggestions for me?I heard "A Cactus Oddessy" is good... anybody ever read it?

Ace Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Search for 'peyote' and 'cacti' at Amazon. There are several good titles. I have 'Peyote: The Divine Cactus by Edward F. Anderson' and I think 'Peyote and Other Psychoactive Cacti by Adam Gottlieb' can be found online at Erowid. Perhaps check there for other online ebooks regarding cacti.I didnt think Anderson's book was that great (though it has been given a 5 star rating on Amazon), but it has lots of great info in it. His writing style was a little hard to get used to IMO, which made me dislike the book to some extent. The info within it seems to be quite valuable and very interesting nevertheless. I think he went into the 'lost' peyotes and medicinal species too. Definately check it out. Probably about a 4 star rating IMO.Gottliebs book seemed to be ok, albeit rather small and limited content-wise. That said, it has been a long time since I looked over it and I cant remember a whole lot about it due to this fact. Worth checking out anyway. About 2-3 stars from what I can remember.

Rizla Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Ott for sure! Botanical Preservation Corps has most of his books at very good prices!Christian Rätsch is great if you read German! Tons of books that few in the English-speaking world are aware of. "One River" by Wade Davis.Dale Pendell (PharmakoPoeia is his finest work IMO)... great for beginners and non-beginners...also great to give to friends to read so they understand you better. Pendell's last book PharmakoGnosis has a weird malice in places that I don't understand. But the first book is full of great anecdotes, poetry, advice.The JL Hudson seed catalogs of any year.... anything by Wasson and Schultes and Hofmann...the list goes on.So many...you can spend a lifetime collecting such books, many of us have!

Quill Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 A great changing force in my life have been books and more specifically authors. Perhaps most profoundly and importantly Philip K. Dick. He gets described as a science fiction writer but lumping him in with most Science Fiction is perhaps a little short-sighted. Whilst his novels may be set in the future or on earth settlements on other planets, they are about humans and humanity as they are now. You may be aware of his work through a number of films that have been made from his novels or short stories. As always the novels are better than the films. Some films based on his novels that you may be aware of are; Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, Next, A Scanner Darkly (interesting film and terrific book)His recurring themes are philosophical, paranoia, drugs, metaphysical, insanity, the nature of Humanity etc.I could not recommend this author any higher, his book Valis is one of my favourites which recounts the time when he went a bit insane. He plays two characters in the book which is already a bit insane (multiple personality) he believes an alien being/God/a satellite is beaming huge amounts information into his head via a beam of light. I could go on about it for a far while but just go out and read italso recommend by this authorA Scanner DarklyThe Man in the High CastleThe Three Stigmata of Palmer EldritchThe Penultimate TruthUbikFlow my Tears the Policeman Saidmore book recommendations to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quill Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 was going to add more book recommendations but. . . does anyone care? Should I bother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutant Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 This topic is short of having a identity crisis. There are even console games and movies as Kill Bill.anywaybooks:All of TOM ROBINS& philosophy Max Stirners 'The Ego and Its Own', propably the most revolutionary book ever, and propably one of the most underrated and unknown. It debunks communist manifesto before it was published! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quill Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Jack Kerouac's On the Roadagain I cannot understate this books role in making me the person that I am. (but don't let that turn you off )Kerouac was arguably the best writer that the Beat generation, or beatniks, produced. On the road is his most widely read and most loved. This book shaped the way youth culture defined itself for at least two generations after. Without this book the world we live in would be a far far different place. Indeed one can plot a direct line from Kerouac and the Beatniks to Ken Kesey, Timothy Leary and many other notables from the age of the hippie. Kerouac and his friends were among the first of their generation to try marijuana and dispel the "dope fiend" myth to their contemporaries. They also tried mescaline and sought out a brew called yage (ayahuasca) in their attempts to expand their experience of reality and conciousness. If you read only one book this year make it On The RoadI would also recommend anything by Kerouac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDanger Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'll second Mutant's Tom Robbins recommendation, and raise you pretty much anything by Hunter S. Thompson. Kingdom of Fear and Fear and Loathing, in particular.Right now I'm reading A Bit of a Blur by Alex James, bassist from Blur. His autobiography; quite an enjoyable read.I would also suggest The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle if you're interested in spirituality and/or philosophy. Anything by Stan Grof is probably worth a read, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quill Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hunter S Thompson is great. I love his psychedelic angry/passionate outrageous ranty style. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is one of my all-time faves. its also the perfect length - you can knock it over in an afternoon. good recommendation Danger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDanger Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks Quill. I read it in a day then started reading it again two days later. I hated the film until I read the book, but then it all made fantastic sense and became one of my all-time favourites as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
