Dr. Tom Roberts has been an important figure in this field of study. I have presented a paper on "PSI and ENTHEOGENS: Stories from the Underground" at the 22rd International Conference on the Study of Shamanism and Alternate Modes of Healing. It is available from those proceedings.

Among the wonderful psychoactive/entheogen works out there, this one ranks way up at the top - in terms of its scope, intelligence and diversity of ideas. Every inclusion has something unique to offer and - like Zig Zag Zen, and others - creates an intriguing web of ideas that intertwine and give such flesh to the overall topic.One is taken through the spiritual, scientific and cultural dimensions by real experts in this increasingly less esoteric field. An immaculate job. My highest compliments to Dr. Roberts.
