FREE: A Brief History of Drugs: From the Stone Age to the Stoned Age by Antonio Escohotado

The listing, A Brief History of Drugs: From the Stone Age to the Stoned Age by Antonio Escohotado has ended.

A fascinating and informative history of humankind's checkered and often ambivalent relationship with psychoactive plants and drugs. From the role of the opium poppy in ancient Mesopotamia and the ergot-based mystery cult of Eleusis, through the opium wars in China and the persecution of medieval herbalist witches, up to the 'psychedelic rebellion' of the sixties and the insanities of the current 'war on drugs,' Escohotado covers an enormous subject with scholarly acumen and brings the light of reason to bear on topics often shrouded in bigotry, ignorance, and cupidity. Highly recommended!

I couldn't have said it better myself, so I didn't! I individualized each of the photos from the cover so that you could get a greater flavor for the topic. If you're interested in drugs (for any reason), this book is an essential for the top of your reading list! : )
