Description

Peyote is a compelling study of the sacramental use of the Native American hallucinogen. This account examines peyote's relationship to other facets of Indian culture--witchcraft, metalwork, painting, music--and such fundamental issues as the conflict between church and state. They compare this drug with other hallucinogens, including mescaline, and draw upon their extensive experience to suggest that long-term use may have some deterious effects. This book was among several books donated to our library by the Linda Hall Library. 128/Softbound/Illustrations
