Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, an abridged compilation of historical documents from the files of the US Bureau of Indian Affairs, delves into the complex history of peyote use among Native Americans. The author traces the origins of peyote use back to its origins as a sacred plant in Aztec culture before exploring its introduction to the United States and its subsequent spread among various tribes. The book examines the religious and cultural significance of peyote, as well as the physiological effects of the drug, including its hallucinogenic properties and potential for addiction. The author raises questions about the legal status of peyote, as it is not covered under the Harrison Narcotic Act nor specifically prohibited by the national prohibition amendment to the Constitution of the United States at the time of writing. The book also discusses the potential harm caused by habitual peyote use and explores the arguments for and against legislation to regulate its sale, shipment, and use. The author concludes by highlighting the ongoing debate surrounding peyote, leaving readers to consider its significance as both a sacred substance and a potentially harmful drug.
