This author has basically taken information available anywhere on the web and from other books and released it as his own. This is the same guy who sells the lame 'Herbal Ecstasy' product, sheesh!
Stick with the Martin Ball book if you want to read something other than a compilation of other peoples research.

I think David Arnson sounds sort of bitter he didn't come up with the idea for herbal ecstasy. Just because this author has compiled information available elsewhere as well as contributing new information, doesn't mean the quality of the book is any less. As an editor and writer myself, I can tell you it's not easy to pull pieces of information from various places and compile it in an interesting and compelling way, but that is exactly what Cheyene does here. Great book, I learned a lot.

This book does an excellent job of succinctly covering the history of Salvia divinorum up to the new millennium, pulling together the various aspects of ethnobotany, pharmacology, cultivation, chemistry, and contemporary use, into one place for the first time. I highly recommend this to everyone and anyone! Well written and compiled by a respected and knowledgeable author.

This book is a very good book that concisely covers the history ofS alvia divinorum, traditional and modern uses, plant resources, and lots more information.

Highly recommend this book for anyone interested in Salvia Divinorum.
