This work introduces the reader to a world of enthobotanicals (plants which release the god within) used by shamen and psychedelic explorers.

Heavenly Highs introduces the world of enthobotanicals used by shamans and psychedelic explorers. Included are explanations of DMT, found in psychedelic snuff; Amazonian ayahuasca, a bitter beverage that triggers visionary experiences with plant gods; Ibogain, a yellowish root ingested by indigenous peoples to achieve visionary experiences; and Belladona, Yohimbe, and Kava-Kava. Noted psychedelic scholar Peter Stafford profiles each group in detail. Photographs, illustrations, tables, and charts are included.
