Psychoactive Plants & Fungi is a vivid, accessible introduction to 42 remarkable botanicals that have captivated, healed and transformed people throughout history. From everyday stimulants like coffee and tea to rare ceremonial plants like iboga or khat leaf, each profile explores the species' cultural origins, traditional uses and mind-altering effects - many of which remain central to spiritual practices, social customs and even modern wellness trends.
Richly illustrated and global in scope, the book brings together folklore, pharmacology and anthropology to show how psychoactive species have shaped human experience - both ordinary and extraordinary. This is not a field guide or a how-to manual, but a cultural companion for the curious reader: part ethnobotanical history, part celebration of our long and complex relationship with the plant and fungi kingdoms.
