Description
"Deserves to be the modern classic on mind-altering drugs and hallucinogens."--The Washington Post

Ethnobotanist Terence Mckenna, hailed by Tom Robbins as "the most important--and most entertaining--visionary scholar in America," explores humanity's symbiotic relationship with spirits, tobacco, marijuana, opium, psilocybin, and more, from prehistoric times to today.

Why, as a species, are humans so fascinated by altered states of consciousness? Can altered states reveal something to us about our origins and our place in nature?

In Food of the Gods, Terence McKenna's research on man's ancient relationship with chemicals opens a doorway to the divine, and perhaps a solution for saving our troubled world. McKenna provides a revisionist look at the historical role of drugs in the East and the West, from ancient spice, sugar, and rum trades to marijuana, cocaine, synthetics, and even television--illustrating the human desire for the "food of the gods" and the powerful potential to replace abuse of illegal drugs with a shamanic understanding, insistence on community, reverence for nature, and increased self-awareness.

About the Author
Terence McKenna, author and explorer, traveled the world to work and live with shamans. He added to their shared knowledge of rituals his own efforts to preserve the plants used in these ceremonies. Co-author of The Invisible Landscape and Psilocybin: The Magic Mushroom Grower's Guide, Terence mesmerized his many lecture audiences with tales of science and shamanism. He was co-manager of a botanical garden in Hawaii for endangered tropical plants. He died in 2000.
