1.0 out of 5 stars
inaccurate,
This review is from: Concise Handbook of Psychoactive Herbs: Medicinal Herbs for Treating Psychological and Neurological Problems (Paperback)
The chapter on yage (ayahuasca) is inaccurate, confusing smokable dmt with ayahuasca. Some research would have revealed the extensive healing claims for the tea ayahuasca, which sometimes contains negligible amounts of dmt yet produces effects. Thousands of years of use and currently thousands of indigenous and western users have produced a large volume of literature on this substance, a brief "google" search would have revealed many sources Dr. Spinella could have used to gain a more accurate understanding of yage than the shallow and inaccurate treatment he gave in his book. The effects of the tea yage do not wear off in 15 minutes, it lasts 1-2 hours; smokable dmt wears off in 15 minutes. I did not read the rest of the book, but this level of scholarship did not inspire me to. I hate to see misinformation being given to professionals, this chapter should be revised.
