Yay!!! Love Dale Pendell so much. The man is verifiably insane with the enourmous eyebrows of a coyote wizard. I’m pretty sure the first (and only) time I met him he was so high he literally couldn’t see me (whatever, it was Burning Man), but this wily, cosmic trickster is also a bona-fide genius! The Pharmako series are the most interesting, poetic and informative books I’ve ever read and I highly reccomend them to anyone interested in history, plants, poetry, psychedelics or magic.
