Pharmacotheon: Entheogenic Drugs, Their Plant Sources and Histories - umfassendes Nachschlagewerk zu schamanischen Rauschmitteln und ihren Wirkstoffen

Entheogenic drugs and their plant sources form the core of Jonathan Ott's reference work Pharmacotheon, presented as a comprehensive multidisciplinary guide to shamanic inebriants and their active agents. The book emphasizes a very large bibliography of 2570 sources and positions it as a reference “specialists have long needed,” aiming to be readable for non experts. Ott frames the synthesis as the result of two years of writing after 20 years of research focused on ethnopharmacognosy. The scope centers on identifying entheogens through their botanical origins and providing historical context, while drawing on Ott’s personal experience with entheogenic drugs to add practical insight to the compilation.
