friendly Posted January 22, 2008 Thanks for the tip. I just ordered it and will keep you posted. They had another book on the same page, "Plant Resins; Chemistry, Evolution, Ecology and Ethnobotany" that I couldn't resist, as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
friendly Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) It's everything one could have hoped for. Magnolia virginiana leaves and/or bark held in cupped hands and the vapors inhaled nasally is a hallucinogen, according to the Rappahannock tribe. The book on plant resins was somewhat of a letdown, the only psychoactive resins mentioned were cannabis and hops. It's mostly about amber. I find it interesting, but it has very little entheogenic information. Now, the Native american ethnobotany book, that one is just FULL of useful information on every aspect of herbal medicine and other uses (fiber, tools, weapons, etc) for plant material. It's far superior to anything else available today--to the best of my knowledge. It beats James Duke (never my favorite anyway) hands down for detail.

friendly Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) There is so much information there it boggles the mind. 11 different Pedicularis species are mentioned for a multitude of uses as food, drug and 'other' by several tribes. Seminole analgesic: Andropogon floridanus, bidens coronata, Cephalanthus occidentalis, Desmodium incanum, Juniperus virginiana, etc. many many more. Sedative: Bacopa caroliniana, Chenopodium ambrosoides, etc. Stimulant: Chenopodium ambroisides (see above under sedative, also), Juniperus virginiana, Persea borbonia, etc. This is just a listing of some of the plants, not their dosages for each treatment, which is in another part of the book.
