3.0 out of 5 stars WARNING * * * WARNING * * * WARNING * * * WARNING * * *, December 30, 2001

By	"thesedrugsdotcom" - See all my reviews

Read this book if you are new to legal highs. It lists
many sources of legal highs and where to find them, and
how much to take. WARNING - If you are unfamiliar
with chemistry / extraction and synthesis; you should
not be creating legal drugs from pure form, your
stomach and intestines / brain may not like what you
fed it. Or even if you are unfamiliar with drugs in
general. Some people have adverse and very severe
reactions to legal highs. I would not try any of the
legal highs from here, I got extremely sick from
morning glory seeds, (they were from a wholesaler,
and did not contain pesticides). Be forewarned about
legal highs. Use this book for reference only.
Also, you must consider the source of the legal highs
because, 1)It depends where and how the herb/seeds
were grown, proper nutrients, light, etc... 2)How
fast harvest was, from life to package, some herbs
lose their potency within days. 3)How the extraction
was performed, etc... I advise researching legal
highs to the fullest extent using the Internet before
buying this book. Also, many companies already sell
legal drugs already prepared and tested. So, Do your
homework before ingesting any legal high...

3.0 out of 5 stars ., May 4, 2000

By A Customer

A handy, helpful little reference tool, but hardly a comprehensive guide. It's also rather dated. Not a bad place to acquire general information, just understand that this is a tiny little book. Also important to note: most of this information, and last time I checked the actual text of this book itself, can be found on the internet without too much trouble. You may want to save your money and surf around a bit first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to psychoactive plants, May 8, 1998

By	The Piper ([e-mail]) (Brazil) - See all my reviews

This is a very concise though informative review of a LOT (believe me) of psychoactive plants and substances you can find in nature. It includes the effects, dosage, contraindications and even some suppliers (though those are not really helpful). This is the best information I could find on the subject.
