Reseña del libro "How The World Gets High: A Global Tour of Sacred Mushrooms, Amazon Vines, Mad Honey, Desert Toads and the New Science of Psychedelic Healing (en Inglés)"
Let's talk. In 401 BCE, ten thousand Greek soldiers retreating through the mountains of Turkey found beehives, ate their fill, and spent the next three days flat on their backs. Xenophon wrote it down. It is the oldest trip report in Western literature. Nine thousand years ago, somebody painted a running man with mushrooms sprouting from his arms onto a rock face in what is now the Sahara. Humans have been deliberately changing their own minds for longer than we have had agriculture, writing, or the wheel. Not occasionally. Constantly, everywhere, on every landmass we have ever occupied. How the World Gets High is a tour of how they did it, and it does not travel country by country. It travels kingdom by kingdom. Fungi that make a molecule shaped to fit a lock in your head, for reasons nobody can explain. Two Amazonian plants that do nothing apart and everything together, found among eighty thousand species by people who say the plants told them. A desert toad carrying the most total experience known to science in a gland behind its eye. A Mediterranean fish that borrowed its chemistry from algae. Honey from a Turkish hillside that has been putting armies on the ground for twenty-four centuries. And your own body, which has been quietly manufacturing this stuff the whole time. Then, in 1970, one law closed the door for fifty-six years. It is open again. Oregon licenses facilitators. The FDA is reading an application. And a practice older than civilization is walking back into the room carrying brain scanners. Warm, surprising and rigorously honest, this is the book for the seeker who suspected there was more to the story. Much more!
