Plant Intoxicants: A Classic Text on the Use of Mind-Altering Plants by Baron Ernst von Bibra. Healing Arts Press, 1995. Second printing in near fine condition; tight binding, square corners, clean and umarked text, uncreased spine, light handling only (see photos). Originally published in German in 1855, von Bibra's Plant Intoxicants is one of the earliest studies of psychoactive plants. This Healing Arts Press edition, translated by Hedwig Schleiffer with technical notes by Jonathan Ott, makes a foundational text in ethnobotany and psychopharmacology accessible to modern readers. Highly regarded as both a historical document and a scientific classic in the study of entheogens.

Review
"An excellent work covering a fascinating and sometimes controversial subject. Recommended."--Critical Review
"An entertaining journey into von Bibra's 19th-century examination of the cultivation and use of stimulants, narcotics, and hallucinogens. Ethnobotanist Jonathan Ott, considered to be von Bibra's contemporary counterpart, complements the author's work with an extensive annotation."--Napra Review
"...this book remains an important cultural artifact. Although the chemical and cultural understandings of the plant intoxicants he discusses have moved on, it still remains a valuable text to the drug historian and, moreover, it is a genre defining pharmacography."--Psychedelic Press UK, January 2013
