"Fermentation and plant use - as medicine, as psychotropics, as teachers, as companions on life's path - are an inescapable part of our exploration of what it means to be human. Ths this book conflicts with a number of popular beliefs about alchohol, plants, and the nature of material reality. It is, therefore, not politically correct.
