The most comprehensive guide to the botany, history, distribution, and cultivation of all known psychoactive plants

- Examines 414 psychoactive plants and related substances

- Explores how using psychoactive plants in a culturally sanctioned context can produce important insights into the nature of reality

- Contains 797 color photographs and 645 black-and-white illustrations

In the traditions of every culture, plants have been highly valued for their nourishing, healing, and transformative properties. The most powerful plants--those known to transport the human mind into other dimensions of consciousness--have traditionally been regarded as sacred. In The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants Christian R tsch details the botany, history, distribution, cultivation, and preparation and dosage of more than 400 psychoactive plants. He discusses their ritual and medicinal usage, cultural artifacts made from these plants, and works of art that either represent or have been inspired by them. The author begins with 168 of the most well-known psychoactives--such as cannabis, datura, and papaver--then presents 133 lesser known substances as well as additional plants known as "legal highs," plants known only from mythological contexts and literature, and plant products that include substances such as ayahuasca, incense, and soma. The text is lavishly illustrated with 797 color photographs--many of which are from the author's extensive fieldwork around the world--showing the people, ceremonies, and art related to the ritual use of the world's sacred psychoactives.

Cute but not for a super chewer
Color: Green, Color: Green
It’s a super cute toy. My boy loves the squeaker toys and he’s a fast chewer. Unfortunately for him, he tore it up within 24 hours. It’s definitely not for super chewers but he had a good time with it while it lasted!

Decent toy
Color: Green
My dog loves this toy. He's already tore through the head but the middle part he has not been able to tare through. It's a great toy for a chewer.

Fun Toy That Keeps Dogs Entertained
Color: Green
WOWBALA Interactive Squeaky Dog Chew Toy was purchased for my two granddogs, and they both took to it right away. The squeaker and soft plush design keep them interested and engaged during playtime. It’s great for tug-of-war and seems to hold up well with regular use. I like that it works for different sizes so that both dogs can enjoy it together. I will be purchasing another one for my dog at home. Overall, it’s a fun and playful toy that keeps them busy and happy.

Durability and lasting period of toy.
Color: Green
I got this toy for our bulldog. He had a hole in it, which will only progress, within minutes. I took it away until I could find out if there is any kind of warranty. The information says this toy is not for aggressive chewers, yet right in the description and the photo of the toy (that way I knew I was looking at the correct toy), it says for the "aggressive chewer". I am disappointed that even though it isn't how they described, it only lasted minutes before there was damage. Not sure if I would buy another product.

Won't last long
Color: Green
It lasted a couple weeks before my dog got it apart at the seams and had the stuffing all over the house. Won't hold up for long under aggressive play. I was going to return it, but my dog so loved this that I stuffed a sock in it and sewed it back together with heavier thread and more stitches. Hold up better for toys of the same price. Buy one, and have a sewing kit handy.
