Peyote to LSD, A Psychedelic Odyssey (2010) video ebooks

Peyote to LSD, A Psychedelic Odyssey (2010) video ebooks Richard Evans Schultes (SHULL-tees) was a biologist (January 12, 1915 – April 10, 2001) and may be considered the father of modern ethnobotany, for his studies of indigenous peoples' (especially the indigenous peoples of the Americas) uses of plants, including especially entheogenic or hallucinogenic plants (particularly in Mexico and the Amazon), for his lifelong collaborations with chemists, and for his charismatic influence as an educator at Harvard University on a number of students and colleagues who went on to write popular books and assume influential positions in museums, botanical gardens, and popular culture. His book The Plants of the Gods: Their Sacred, Heal- ing, and Hallucinogenic Powers (1979), co-authored with chemist Albert Hofmann, the discoverer of LSD, is considered his greatest popular work: it has never been out of print and was revised into an expanded second edition, based on a German translation by Christian Rätsch (1998), in 2001. 1) video: Peyote to LSD, A Psychedelic Odyssey (2010) specs: 1593 Kbps, 640 × 362, Duration: 1h 29mn In the '40s and '50s ethnobotanist Richard Evans Schultes' discoveries of hallucinogenic plants revolutionized science and laid the foundation for the psychedelic '60s.

Peyote to LSD, A Psychedelic Odyssey takes you around the globe through the jungles and deep into the human mind. What a trip! Review: If you like the book One River, you'll love this... Despite its sensationalistic title and made for History Channel origins, this is actually a wonderful documentary that chronicles the life of Richard Evans Schultes through the narration of his student and biographer Wade Davis. The biographical components are interspersed with interviews with (or historical context on) other well known names in the world of ethnobotany and the psychedelic/beat era, also closely associated with Schultes, such as Andrew Weil, W.S. Borroughs, and Timothy Leary. Davis follows firsthand in Schultes footsteps throughout the video, from his early work with peyote to the discovery of "magic" mushrooms to his later involvement with rubber exploration for the US military. It's a great reminder how ahead of his time Schultes was, as an ethnobotanist, explorer, and professor. I've used this video in my classroom now for 3 years. After you see it, read One River. 2) audio: Psychedelia: Peter Gorman Interviews Richard Schultes & Albert Hoffman (1994) These are digitizations of cassette tapes of telephone interviews carried out by Peter Gorman, then editor of High Times Magazine, for the anniversary of the discovery of LSD. In this series Albert Hoffman and Richard Evans Schultes are interviewed. In a humorous moment, Laura Huxley comes in on the call with Hoffman. The audio quality is poor on several of these recordings. Some of these recordings have been cleaned up and are included in Psychedelic Salon podcasts (#280) also in this collection here at archive.org. Note that the Schultes material was never podcast due to poor audio quality. 3) ebooks: Ayahuasca Analogues by Jonathan Ott, 1994 OCR.pdf Ayahuasca Analogues, Entheogen Review, 1992-99, Jim DeKorne.pdf Ayahuasca Study.pdf Ayahuasca Visions by Pablo Amaringo.pdf Ayahuasca, Entheogenic Education, Public Policy.pdf Hallucinogenic Plants by Richard Evans Schultes.pdf Hallucinogens and Culture Book by Peter T Furst, 1976.pdf Jack Herer - The Emperor Wears No Clothes.pdf Jonathan Ott - Pharmacotheon, 1996.pdf R Gordon Wasson - Persephone's Quest, 1986.pdf Schultes & Hofmann - Plants of the Gods, Healing Arts, 2001.pdf tags: Peyote, LSD, psychedelic, psychotropic, hallucinogen, mind, shamanism, ritual, healing, health
