5.0 out of 5 stars Narcotic Plants: Hallucinogens, Stimulants, Inebriants and Hypnotics, Their Origins and Uses

I had heard about Dr. Emboden's book from several sources, but it is very difficult to find (out-of-print). So when I was able to locate a source, I snapped it up at once. Like Dale Pendell's Pharmacopoeia, Dr. Emboden's thorough research combined with the photographs and easy to understand writing style, presented not only the plants but also their histories -- along with the oral histories (common myths) of the indigenous peoples -- in a way that was both comprehensive as well as informative. I would like to thank the Seller for making this copy of Dr. Emboden's "tome" available.

Very educational and informative.....satisfied my curiosity. When some of these plants are referenced in other books I read, it gives me a better understanding of what is being described.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing book both textually and Visually about narcotic plants
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2022
In 1972 I took a course at Cal State Northridge in narcotic plants. It was taught by the author of this book William emboden. It was a very interesting and informative class especially in the knowledge I gained about the types of narcotic plants that one can encounter in African cultures

5.0 out of 5 stars a good leaf of botanical history
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2001
I found this book quite by accident. It is informative and has some interesting history. There were plants that even I had never heard of. I recomend this book who is interested in all aspects of Botany and even some history. I also recomend that anyone who has this book to use the information wisely. There is far too much value in books such as these for the information to be wasted
