Reviews

"This book provides a straightforward description of various, apparently legal, mind-altering herbs, broken down by effect." * PagaNet News, Volume VIII Issue IV * "A fascinating selection, Miller's range of practical and arcane knowledge is impressive. This integration of the scientific with the mystical is one of the most interesting facets of the book." * The Herb Companion *
