"A poet, ethnobotanist, and amateur chemist, he's the best writer on drugs to come along since the late Terence McKenna." -The Village Voice "Dale Pendell, most elegant eloquent writer on drugs because both scientist and poet, has exuded a book as charming asThe Compleat Angleror Brillat-Savarin'sPhysiology of Taste. It will be preserved amongst the scriptures of an entheogenic revival that will recognize the scribe Pendell as an inspired prophet and forerunner." -Hakim Bey "Dale Pendell's books are elegant tapestries of accurate chemistry, pharmacology, and botany, interwoven with rich poetical imagery.

Synopsis
***This paperback edition has a new introduction by the author and updated content. This is the second volume of North Atlantic Books' updated paperback edition of Dale Pendell's Pharmako trilogy, an encyclopedic study of the history and uses of psychoactive plants and related synthetics first published between 1995 and 2005. The books form an interrelated suite of works that provide the reader with a unique, reliable, and often personal immersion in this medically, culturally, and spiritually fascinating subject. All three books are beautifully designed and illustrated, and are written with unparalleled authority, erudition, playfulness, and range. Pharmako/Dynamis: Stimulating Plants, Potions, and Herbcraft includes a new introduction by the author and as in previous editions focuses on stimulants (including coffee, tea, chocolate, and coca and its derivatives) and empathogens (notably Ecstasy). Each substance is explored in detail, not only with information on its history, pharmacology, preparation, and cultural and esoteric correspondences, but also the subtleties of each plant's effect on consciousness in a way that only poets can do. The whole concoction is sprinkled with abundant quotations from famous writers, creating a literary brew as intoxicating as its subject. The Pharmako series also includes Pharmako/Poeia (which covers tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, opiates, salvia divinorum, and other substances) and Pharmako/Gnosis (which addresses psychedelics and shamanic plants)., Dive into the potent world of plant-based stimulants and empathogens with Pharmako/Dynamis --Volume 2 of Dale Pendell's authoritative Pharmako trilogy. Embark on an enriching journey through nature's stimulants--and our complex relationship with them--in Pharmako/Dynamis: Stimulating Plants, Potions, and Herbcraft . Pendell's poetic narrative expertly weaves together scientific understanding and enchanting literature, making this book an enticing read for enthusiasts, herbalists, and psychonauts alike. Readers will delve deeper into the fascinating universe of psychoactive plants, investigating a variety of stimulants and empathogens, each with its own unique history, usage, and cultural significance: Amphetamines Betel ( Areca catechu ) Chocolate Coca ( Erythroxylum coca ) Coffee Khat ( Catha edulis ) Kola ( Kola nitida ) Ma huang ( Ephedra ) MDMA ( Ecstasy ) Tea And more The book explores these substances in detail and more, offering a profound understanding of their impact and roles. With an engaging blend of scientific knowledge, historical context, and spiritual insights, Pendell presents a meticulously detailed study of each psychoactive substance. His authoritative and delightfully playful voice elucidates not just the pharmacological aspects, but also the subtle effects of these substances on human consciousness. This volume is more than just a resource; it's a thrilling voyage into the intricate dance between humans and the psychoactive plant kingdom., Dive into the potent world of plant-based stimulants and empathogens with Pharmako/Dynamis -Volume 2 of Dale Pendell's authoritative Pharmako trilogy.
