If you have become interested in Dr. Weil's latter books on health, such as natural health natural medicine, you will love this earlier work that deals with everything from drug use in other cultures,to why chilly peppers get some people "high". And just what does getting high really mean?Well, it means experiencing shifts in consciousness that come from a myriad of sources, and most all don't involve the dangerous use of "refined substances" that people in our culture abuse and destroy themselves with. Read this book and discover this mystery.

Received in the mail on 9/30/2004, and looking forward to reading it along with other works on mysticism. Thank you, Lotusflower, for sending it to me!
